It started but how?

It was a long break of 3 months after S.L.C. exams and I was very much excited to have a holiday since I was in hostel for ten long years and could only come home on long holidays. One day I went to visit my uncle's house nearby and there I saw goldfishes in small bowl, I was fascinated to see fish swimming in a small bowl. So I asked sister who owned that fishes about fish bowl and where I could buy them and after that I bought one for N.Rs. 400 with gold fishes costing N.Rs.110. I bought 2 pairs  of those goldfishes and came home. I set up my bowl with water and put fishes in it only to see fishes dead after certain days. I bought many goldfishes after that and all died then I thought of giving up my hobby but couldn't so I searched on Internet about causes of their death but I didn't understand anything, what I found out from whole research in net was,"I should buy new big aquarium so that I could save fishes ".
Then I went to various stores in search of aquarium I needed and bargained in every shop I went. Finally I bought 2 feet aquarium for N.Rs. 1100. And again put some goldfishes only to see them dead after few weeks. After searching for fish stores, I finally found good fish store "Su Flowerhorn" in Lazimpat,Kathmandu.



 Swordtails all dead



 I bought 4 pairs of swordtails fishes from there, although all died eventually I am happy because due to that I found a solution to save my fishes and that was dechlorinator "Garon" which dechlorinates our drinking water so as to make it safe for fishes. After this I had good experiences with fishes and as of today I own three aquariums with mainly cichlids in it. It has already been two years since I started keeping fishes and I am glad that I started fish keeping which has now become my hobby and I have immersed myself into its world totally.
