What do you get out of keeping fish??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
okay it works now....mabye I should crop those down a little :shakehead
 
They keep me from killing fools. I would say stress relief, however, I get more stressed when things are not going well in my tanks. I guess when it come right down to it I'm a fish person, thats all I can say.
 
A piece of nature in my home. An unknown world.
 
just sitting on my com with my big guys looking at me through the glass is good enough for me but i get real happiness from my fish they can cheer me up and put me in a bad mood when something goes wrong i would say the best part about them though is the stress relief i get by sitting in a room with only tank lights on and watching my fish

Thats what I am talking about. Fish are amazing, you can't usually see them unless you have scuba, shallow water or a great tank.
 
fish are relaxing and i love to learn....

Learning is also a great part of fishkeeping. So many people overlook it.
 
I like having a little slice of nature to watch. I've always been an animal/nature/water buff, so when I can't be out seeing things for myself, especially the South Americans that I'm keeping now which I've never been able to see, I can get a little taste of it at home. I also like the satisfaction that comes with knowing you are providing a good life for another animal.
