LOL didnt you have a cover for the top of ur tank? i think that would have helped a lot more

and the good little fishys that people get a guppys, cause they are colorful and they stay little. and neon tetras.

I've been thinking about getting myself an aquarium. Since I don't plan on living here for another decade, it'll be sad to leave a doggie or a kitty behind again

fish are easy to take care of and add a nice decor to the house

Nice aquarium Evil Ace. Its so relaxing watching a nice tank and all the goings on.

I actually work with fish. I was always interested in keeping them, and now I work with and study them. The fish in the hatchery also get to listen to H!P music, as I play mp3's when I am in there:D

That tank would look great with a couple of nice coloured Oscars. You get some great behaviour with them, fighting and displaying and even laying eggs.

In Thailand (and the southern US), you should be afraid of the catfish eating man!

This catfish could eat a man!

Back when I lived in Miami, I had a huge aquarium that I kept the fish I caught at the local canal in. Had largemouth and peacock bass (which we fed goldfish), oscars (which bullied every fish we put in with it, including the bass twice their size), and some turtles from time to time. I wish could get another one, because I really love fish and fishing. <3

Ha ha, oscars bully everything, including all the tank fittings. Best kept as pairs with nothing else.
And I love fishing as well L J, nothing better than spending time down the river/lake, so relaxing.

Ever since I was very little my dad has been keeping salt water tanks, since about 6th months ago he's been working on a reef only tank. Are you hoping to make this tank a reef tank? If not, and you're just hoping to keep fish, invest in some regular nice looking bleeched coral to make it look nice. that gray fish is really huge o.o

I tried to get into keeping fish, but eventually gave it up because I'm really not made for such a hands-off kind of pet. The problem the fish had with me was that I was always looking for some way to interact with them physically (tickle a fin here and there, etc.) and they were just not digging it. I had to give them away before I stressed them to death.

I should just stick to cats, dogs or other things I can actually pet.
