My story is similar to bgrae001. My son is going on 3 years old and every time I take him to the National Aquarium in Baltimore he's overly excited to be there. He loves Finding Nemo (which sorta matches our situation, it's just father and son in our home). In December he was old enough to actually ask for a fish tank at home so I decided that would be his big Christmas gift. It's a 12 gallon nano with 2 clowns.
Now that I've bought a house I'm going to setup a 55 gallon after the move. Of course, this hobby is expensive, so I'm not yet sure how I'm going to pay for it....haha.
