Hi everyone,

Just wanted to say thanks for such a good newsgroup, very friendly and
helpful

I bought my first two ryukins today. What is it about GF that makes us
crazy
for them? My boyfriend took me to a big aquarium shop in the next town
today
and I made my usual dash for the GF section, it was then I found him, our
eyes met through a busy tank of healthy ryukin, and I held up my finger (I
never tap the glass) and he swam straight up to me, I just had to take him
home!

I may be slightly unstable lol, but has anyone else ever seen a fish
amongst
many that they couldn't leave behind? Am I completely mad, or is it usual
to love a fish as much as a cat or a dog? My boyfriend cares well for his
tropical fish ( he's kept them for about 15 years now) but he does regard
them as "just Fish".

I recommend anyone with depression to keep fish, when you're sad they
nibble
your fingers and warm your heart. When u get insomnia, u can stare at
them
for hours....which I have at the moment which is why I'm sitting here
babbling.

Who's your favourite GF then?

Tess
