Residing in the Lake District (Cumbria)
Although there was the occasional tank at home in my childhood I personally only started in the hobby about 6 months ago.
Always loved bettas so decided I wanted one, made the mistake of watching MD Fish tanks on YouTube so now instead of the one tank I planned on having I'm at 6 if you include the spare snail tank.
My dad was in and out of the hobby over the years so this has given us a common interest and resparked his enjoyment of fish keeping as well. We now watch YouTube together, discuss each others tanks and have plans to go halves on a larger tank to share.
I always thought that live plants would be a nuisance so fully intended to go fake until of course I started watching the aforementioned YouTube videos and discovered not only does it seem relatively easy it's much more beautiful.
