Been into them for as long as I can remember, but never really got really into fish keeping. Not until my exgf kicked me out and I need something to take my mind off everything. Having 3 tanks running in on room will do the trick. And now Im setting up a 4th tank.
let's not kid ourselves folks this is basicaly the reason we all keep fish.
We humans get some sense of pride knowing that we can create a functioning environment for a fish with a glass (or plastic) box and a bunch of pumps in smaller boxs that are connected to the bigger box. and the do whatever we want with them at that point.
However i do have many lesser reasons such as how intresting it is watching them grow, feed, etc.
My reason is because it's something to do that's not work or chores. This is my hobby it keeps me happy. I'm a mom of a 2 year old and my fish tank helps me relax. It gives me something to do with my daughter around she even helps.
all living creatures have to die at a particular day so why to fear with that ! live each and every moment of your life with full enjoyment u never know when life can turn u around same applies with Fishes too
