The Interview<br />

Peter Anderson,<br />

Chairman, Hounslow & District A.S.,<br />

FBAS Council Member<br />

Q. How long is it since you started keeping fish?<br />

A. I have kept fish for over 30 years, since midway through the 1970's<br />

Q. What made you start?<br />

A. I have always had an interest in keeping fish, as my Dad kept fish in two<br />

Iron-framed tanks on a stand. Both my son and daughter won Goldfish<br />

at a Fair in Amersham, and the rest is history.<br />

Q. What gave you the idea to join an <strong>Aquatic</strong> Society?<br />

A. I heard <strong>of</strong> an aquatic club in Amersham, about six miles from where I<br />

live. I liked the friendly atmosphere and members willing to exchange<br />

their experiences with me.<br />

Q. What do you think has made the biggest impact and helped the<br />

advancement <strong>of</strong> our hobby?<br />

A. Well, so much information is now available on the internet, whether<br />

aquatic technology or just fish keeping inquiries; for me it’s made our<br />

hobby so much easier to understand.<br />

Q. Why did you join Hounslow Aquarists Society, bearing in mind it’s some<br />

25 miles from where you live?<br />

A. As I have said, I first <strong>of</strong> all joined a Club that met in Amersham, but<br />

although I was a member for several years it closed down through a lack<br />

<strong>of</strong> members so I had to find another Club to join.<br />

Q. Do you feel even after travelling to a Club after all these years still does<br />

something for you as a fishkeeper?<br />
