is there a THRILL in keeping fish?

[BW]

If you search for thrill in rec.aquaria you get some interesting
results. The thrill of owning rare breeds, the thrill of keeping
difficult varieties, the thrill of feeding live bait to carnivorous
fish, the thrill of your first cichlid breeding... I'd really like to
know more about people's most thrilling aquarium related experiences.

You could say that I'm a thrill researcher. I've been conducting
interviews with people about their thrill experiences at the website
www.chromo11.com.

Feel free to discuss my question here [though I may not be around much
as I'm on about 100 groups at once], but if anyone feels they've
something to say outside your group, then please visit the site and
answer a series of thoughtful questions. I'll meet you there!

Thanks

THRILL NOTES:
1. thrill can come under many other guises - maybe you've met with
pleasure or delight?
2. sometimes the tame can be wild and vice versa; don't judge yourself
unfairly.

The 'thrill' of opening your canopy to feed and find fry (babies) looking up
at you, eager to eat whatever your holding....

-or-

The thrill of trying to get something out of your tank while your 13" Midas
with a mouth that could inhale a ping-pong ball tries to eat your thumb...
that could be a thrill... or a fear... I'll let you know later...

Watching silver dollars the size of a dime grow to 4" in diameter and an 1"
long pleco become a 13" monster
Finally being able to keep angels alive
Watching the Cycle of Life in my Game Fish Tank.
Worrying about the children (fish) and caring for their every need.
The heartache of death.
Participating and interacting with nature without having to deal with stupid
humans (sorry if you are a stupid human)

being successful keeping wild beings alive is even more gratifying than...
Is it a pseudo (small g) god thing?

so much more...

JOhn :-)

Thrill... hoping the Oscar does not take skin when it gets excited when
the lid is open... Waiting to see what the end results of an opp's cross
breed african cichlid is going to look like... Watching my pl*co's grow at
amazing rates. Watching my Koi grow and seing their colours changing with
fantastic results... Watching a prized Electric Blue die cause we screwed
up, ( our female male half a suspected potential breeding pair...) and (OT)
losing our beloved cat ( with the past few days ) to some coyote or wild
dogs...

Timmer...
