In my early days as a young lad I use to have some, but then I realized at some point in my younger years that the fish actually DIDN'T listen to me when I used to talk to them. I was crushed and so enraged by this simple fact that I decided to send all my fish to fish ****.

On a more serious note, they were cool to have as a little kid....and I don't like seafood.....so, no point.

i remember having an aquarium back when i was about 5 im 19 now, we didnt have a automatic pumping system to take the water out so my parents always made me Syphon a hose manually to get the water out for cleaning . I hated those days.. as for fish keeping i have always wanted to get back into it but its just a ***** hassle

I used to keep an aquarium. Since I used to I dont have any pics to show. I also worked at a fish store as a Fish Guy Extrordinaire

Since I worked as a fish guy for so long, I kinda got tired of fish, so I haven't had a tank set up for a while. However me and the wife are kinda thinking about setting up something small like a 20 or 29 gallon.

wife kinda feels strange to write and say now doesn't it? I'll tell you one thing it feel's even stranger to say, "ex-wife". But, hopefully for your sake, you never have to say that.

but, yeah... get the fish.

We have a 15 gallon tank right know. We had 10 small fish in it at first, but they all died except for one. We think it the temperature changed to much during the summer. Becase the tank got cold at night and very warm during the day. The last won't die though. we bought more fish to put with it and they all died, but that same one stayed alive. THAT FISH IS A SUPER FISH. Don't know what to do to keep them all alive for me.

I'd get an elaborate setup if I were rich. Because then you can make it look really cool, but if you're POOR like myself then it just makes you look LONELY.
