For me it's a relief to see fishes swimming, gives me a feeling of calmness after a hectic day at my job. I just sit in front of the aquarium and look at the fishes swimming around calms my senses and relaxes my mind.

For me its because I have aggresive fish. African chiclids, convicts, and a catfish. Its pretty cool to see them guard there territory and to protect one another, to be dominant. When feeding them feeder fish(minnows) they go crazy.

i love the view of our living room when the aquarium is there with so many fishes in it. it makes me feel relaxed just seeing the school of fish swimming freely in the water.

i used to have an aquarium but after I moved out, I gave it up. You can see me looking at the bridge in festival mall looking out on to different fishes swimming and feeding in the sun. They calm me down. I just covered about more than half kilometer from the bus terminal and it's a relief just to stand by watching fishes while smoking.
