HoTRoD 2 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I like fish. Not eating them, but watching them do their thing. Thinking about getting a tank and some fish for my house. Anyone here keep any fish? What kinds and how many? Do they swim a lot? Link to post Share on other sites

LiquidX 0 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Fish are cool to watch, very relaxing. I suppose they're pretty easy to look after too. (?) Link to post Share on other sites

snowboard_freak 0 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Actually db I haven't any tanks for about the last year or so. So I can bore you with stuff about the tanks I had . HotRod - I have kept both fresh and saltwater fish and inverts. A big ol' reef tanks looks awesome and I find pretty interesting. But they do require a fair of taking of taking care off when compared to goldfish and tropical freshwater fish. Inverts are harder to take care off. Both are very relaxing. Most of the fish i had swam heaps but some didn't as this was just their nature. Did you enjoy that db? Link to post Share on other sites
GoodTimes 0 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Whats involed in taking care of these more difficult dudes then? Link to post Share on other sites
cheeseman 1 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Myself and cheesewoman keep some fish. They are fantastic, very relaxing. I love the sound of water too. (Not too fond of cheese though. There were especially not keen on an imported リダー that we tried.) Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 We had inverts when I was a kid. They were just plain ole goldfish, but they were mostly inverted. When they go inverted, you flush them down the bog. Screensaver fish are much easier to look after than inverts, and have many of the same characteristics. Link to post Share on other sites

It will make you look twice Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Sorry missed that question. cheesy - "inverts" (invertabrates) are creatures like anenome's, clams, hard and soft corals etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I used to have some fish when I was younger, I'd really like to get some again someday. Very cool. Link to post Share on other sites

MistaSparkle 0 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I had a friend who used to be really into fish, and he kept a crazy saltwater tank which had triggerfish and all kinds of cool tropical fish, but he had a smaller freshwater tank with african cichlids. Those guys were a blast to watch. They swim like maniacs and can stop dead still on a dime... sometimes swam backwards. More entertaining than his saltwater tank fish.
