Not many as I still have the Clown Loaches I started with 27 years later. Nobody warned me.
That statement speaks volumes. Kudos to you.

I have kept 92 species of fish as of 8/10/21.
I don't know what impresses me more here, the fact that you've kept all those fish, or that you've written them all down.....scientific name as well!! Did you stay up all night writing that out? Lol.
