Sun Nov 22 2009If there is a more delightful, intelligent and, even, compassionate fish than a Red Capped Oranda, I haven't found one. But, they are high maintenance and extreme polluters. We lost our last pair, Laurel and Hardy, while transporting them in the RV, which stirred up too much gunk and this did them in. Our search for some new fish led us to a smaller fish that would be easier to take care of and ended up with an elegant pair of Neon Gouramis. They have a pair of functional feelers that they use like arms. Cool fish. Right off the bat, one established itself as the dominant fish and kept the other fish confined to a small portion of the tank. When they fed, he was free to roam while the bully was busy eating, but when dinner was over, it was forced back to its side of the tank. Anyone who has ever read "On Aggression" by Konrad Lorenz understands that there is no such thing as a "bad" or "good" fish, in human terms...there's just variations of aggressiveness. Well, over time, the bull... Read more

Thu Apr 30 2009Fish are awesome, but more work than people realize. They are beautiful, peaceful, provides a calming effect when people watch them. They don't bark or defecate in your house and add a nice bit of decor to the home. But remember it takes work to maintain a healthy tank. Rule number 1: Unless you have a betta fish, leave the bowls in a pet store. Period. Rule 2: For tropical community fish, approximately 1 inch of fish per gallon of water. Rule 3: For goldfish, 1 fish per 20 gallons of water. Period. Rule 4: No more than 10% water change weekly, check the filter, etc. Rule 5: DO NOT OVERFEED. Rule 6:For Cichlids, you need a spacious tank with lots of good hiding places and becareful what you mix. Rule 7: Saltwater tanks are beautiful, but even more work. Enjoy your fish!

Tue Jul 22 2008Fish make for a great addition to any home. There are a few exceptions, though. Their necessities can be rather expensive. And if their tank isn't filtered, cleaning it can be somewhat time consuming. Another downside to owning fish, is that unlike with cats and many other pets, if you're planning on taking a vacation, you're going to need a fish sitter.

Tue Jul 08 2008I believe that the person who has fish as a pet is a person who is a stoic.

Mon Jul 07 2008Though it's been a few years, I have had a few aquariums. Having fish, however nice they are, is like having a beautiful painting on the wall. It can be a thing of beauty but there is no real interaction. More of a possession than a pet.

Sun Jul 06 2008I had a goldfish that I got at a carnival when I was younger. That fish lived 5 years before he died. They are good animals if you take care of them right.
