Fish Fanatic
Anyone else out there been a fish widow and decided to get involved to see what its all about and ended up hooked?
On a visit to a small pet shop for dog food........
We took pity on a wee star-gazer goldfish a year ago and said Ok we'll take him home, small plastic bowl etc hasilty set up and the wee guy survived. so I was then told how cruel we were keeping him in such a small tank and should really have filters and company etc! Fell for it hook line and sinker. now a year on we have a house that resembles an aquarium with sofas!
However not only do I "allow"it (as if I could stop him) but i definately have bad MTS!! My smaller sized coldwater tank (a present for me or him I wonder) will soon be up graded to make my guys a wee bit more comfortable! I love coldwater fish especially long finned and tailed gold fish and shubunkins. My shubunkins will some day have a beautiful pond once I decide where in my garden to put it! Altho I will miss being able to see them swimming around so much!
So you see a definate conversion here or brainwashing got to be one of the 2!! Anyone else had a similar experience have you ended up more involved and enthusiastic than your partner?
