so what is it that makes fishkeeping so good?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Its the waterchanges, every 3 days that really gives me a great feeling and a sense of satisfaction.

Seriously, all my answers are somewhere up in there now.. cleanest pet, most relaxing, beautiful and graceful but fierce at the same time. Love growing them out to even monstrous sizes.
 
I enjoy the challange of fish keeping . The regiment of keeping tanks clean and maintaining filters etc is a task I look forward to after a stressfull week at work . The reward comes when the fish you bring into your home thrive and hopefully breed. I aslo like the variety of species that are available to the hobby providing endless choices for your home environments.
 
me i have always loved fish from the day my dad got his first tank and he kept moonlight gouramies i was hooked i like all sort of nature but fish is my favourite but as someone said its **** when things go wrong
 
I enjoy fish keeping cause of many reasons, having a tank in the house really enhances the way the room looks. The fishes make the tank look really alive when they swim all around the tank with their unique attitudes... and like said before, really relieves stress and calms you down. And when you come close to the tank, they all gather up thinking that it is meal time. I love watching the fishes grow and grow. Another great thing about having a nice or large fish tank as a feature is that it ALWAYS become a conversational subject, and how it amazes people when they see the aquarium and the different types of beautiful species that is in it.
All the time, money and effort i spent on it... it all definately pays back and definately worth it!
It's a Great hobby and i will never let go! :thumbsup:
 
Great answers. The challenge is one of the reasons i got drawn into rays.
About the money part, let me just say zipperfish that you are not alone...LOL!
 
why do i buy a certain fish?
olso because i an interested in breeding them or because they are large and unique and i enjoy watching their behavior
why do i like the hobby?
alot of reasons the hobby, watching the fish, behavior, agression, breeding
i also like the scientific aspects of it doing experiments with the fry
trying different equipment, how species interact in different environments
but really i just love wasting all my money and time a
and just starring at them
but its really a love hate relationship that is to big for my apartment
 
I love fish keepings since i was a kid. I just love how they swim, how they eat, and how they grow. It relaxes me when i have a very stressfull day. It's somewhat like a therapy to me.
 
Everything, everything about fishkeeping is good from the feeding and cleaning and waterchanges to all the different options one has when choosing a setup, nothing beats that feeling of excitement when you walk into your lfs with a pocketful of your hard earned money and you know you gonna walk out with something interesting and different. You will always learn something new as well just when you think you know most of it something will leave you speechless and dumbfounded. One of the few hobbies where you dont really need a big budget to still have a satisfying setup. :thumbsup:
 
I only got into fish keeping a couple of years ago. The one thing i love about fish keeping is that your constantly learning. I have learned so much from forums and information online. I don't know what i owuld have done without the internet.

I work from home and have the fish tanks in the office. I find them extremely relaxing and maybe too much of a distraction sometimes :grinyes:

I love spending my money on and trying out new equipment and buying larger and larger tanks.
