Default The joys of fish keeping

Justice wrote:
What are you happiest moments with fish keeping, and what anoyes you
about fish keeping?

Simple question. My joys would be well when I got my first tank, second
when I found the loach, I watch them for a few minuets many times a day.
my clowns I enjoy watching them sleep. It's like watching a mamal, lay
on side, flap fin, turn over, etc. My anoyances my tanks are too small
and i can't yet aford a new one, maybe after christmas . Also the
smell of the crud when I deep cleen my powerfilter.

Note: I may take some posts and use them on my website, if you have a
problem just put a note in the post, I will take no offence.



Hmmm, where to start :-)

I love the way the my bettas come up to the front of their tanks and
flirt with me whenever they spot me - flaring beautifully and showing
their full splendour :-)

I love the way the most of my fish are so confident that they will feed
from my hands :-) Occassionally get my fingers nibbled though - lol

Finding new fry is always a good one :-), a little too common in the
Malawi tank to jump up and down anymore but I still remember spotting
the first one...

Watching the different dynamics in each tank - how the fish interact
with one another and what they get up to in their little lives....can
get a bit nasty in the Mbuna tank though :-(

Clown Loaches - nuff said :-)

The satisfaction once all the tank maintenance has been done and sitting
back anywhere in house (or standing in the kitchen) looking at gleaming
tanks and happy fish

Refurbing tanks - even down to as simple as changing the plants around
to give the tank a "new look"

Researching the next project - he,he :-)
