I used to have so many different kinds of fish. From saltwater to fresh and I am thinking of getting a tank again. Fish are so pretty to watch and they do make good pets. Do you have any fish now and if so what kind?

I have had different kinds of fish but never any salt water kind though I would love to have some. I love watching them swim around, it's so peaceful. It's very relaxing to just watch them. We have had some goldfish that have lived for 10 years & were almost 8" long. They lived through a lot of hard times including jumping out of the tank. Our one fish was named Mr. Fish, he was the oldest & largest. My kids were always bringing home fish from the carnivals so there were always many fish in the tanks. As of right now we don't have any.

we tried to have fish but they always die on me so I just don't try any more, I have cats now for about 27 years.

Same with me, about the fish dying. I sometimes wonder if I was doing something wrong. Cats are a lot more lovable anyway!

Sure, I have some small tropical fish as pets at home. They have their babies soon and therefore my aquarium is full of beautiful fish:) I love China

actually, I don;t have a et fish although I like to watch them swim either in the aquarium or in the fish pond but I did not get one. I might be tempted to cook them. Lol.. But I like to watch colorful fishes in the fish pond or aquarium.

I used to have an aquarium and I did love to watch the fish. I had to buy all the accessories that went with it too. I added things one by one. I had a colored light in the lid.A back ground and a lot of different things in the inside it was beautiful. My daughter had some gold fish and they lived a long time and grew to be pretty big ones too. I remember when I had to take the grandchildren to the pediatrician they had a gigantic one in their office it covered a whole wall. It was beautiful.

I only have 13 aquariums set up and running right now so I do have a few different kinds of fish in them. Most of them are Central and South American cichlids wit a few bushymouth plecos and some pearl gouramis that are grow out fish for one of the aquarium clubs that I belong to. In one of the 10 gallon tanks I have a trio of killifish and a pair of endlers live bearers. I also try to keep live aquatic plants in most of the tanks.

I have 55 gallon tank. It has 3 huge goldfish a suckerfish and a blugill(kids caught in pond and didn't want to throw it back) I can pet the biggest goldfish. I have never senn gold fish live this long. I have had them since 2003. The youthgroup at church gave them to me after a class project they did. I love fish. They are quiet and nice to watch. I am getting ready to set up another tank for glowing and black light type fish. I love how they seem to glow under certain types of light.

I have salt water aquarium fishes. I have Dugong, a dog-face pufferfish, Creeper the lizardfish, Nim, an african clownfish which is a cousin of Nemo , and Tekla, a powder brown tang/surgeonfish which is also a distant relative of Dory . I am planning to add another african clown fish and some damselfish (2-5) to make my aquarium more colorful.

As of now I have Malaysian green arowana, flowerhorn and albino dragon fish. It's fun watching them and at the same time it releases all your body stress.
