Well, my to you brave souls trying to get their water just right. Healthy tropical fish are so amazing to watch, relaxing & Zen, just as you said.

Funny you compared fish to hots, I was thinking along the same lines- but with hots, you're worrying about avoiding mistakes that kill you, whereas with fish, you worry about mistakes that kills them. Both are awful prospects. My sister & her family had an aquarium years ago, but after about a year, they lost all their fish to some sort of illness & gave up. That would be heartbreaking.

I do love to look at fish & aquariums but I've stayed out of trying to keep fish- they're just outside my comfort level I guess. I'd sooner take in a rattlesnake, lol- at least I have experience with that. Besides, I love swimming so much, I'd spend my whole day just being jealous, like that movie, "The Incredible Mr. Limpet". Anyway, thanks for sharing Lincoln with us...as with many other things here, I'll just have to enjoy yours. But I wouldn't be surprised if you inspire some others to try keeping fish.
