I had Frisk, Melani, Ethan, and Khaith before I joined.

Marley: No one inspired me, no one really talks about hamsters on PT if they own them.

Norri: I always enjoyed seeing Star (Maltese_Love's Budgie), but she's not the complete reason why I got Norri.

Otto & Ventriloquist: No one in particular, though Miss Z's Tia has always sounded like such a loving little girl and had made me want some rats even more.

The Bettas: Every betta owner that talked about their bettas. Some inparticular, but I won't point any fingers. Eventhough it is all you guys' fault that I have four bettas now.

Basically the only people that fully inspired me were the betta owners. After my first three fish died, I had told myself that I wasn't getting any more fish. And look at me now! Four bettas and plans to get an Angelfish in a few months!
