Not everybody thinks the same way you do. What is fun for you might not
be fun for someone else.

I get a great deal of satisfaction from knowing that my fish live in a
good, functional, stable environment. I also get a great deal of
satisfaction from feeding and watching them. If I had very little time,
I think I'd get a lot of satisfaction from knowing that the fish still
had a good, functional and stable environment - maintained by a
competent & knowledgeable third party.

but yes, I think that one of the reasons we feel so involved with the
fish is because we _are_ involved with the fish.
