I love fish....at first I got them because my son is enamoured with them and I thought why not I need a low risk hobby. So I do some research (not enough apparently, gotta love petsmart....twenty goldfish....thank God for the LFS) and I decide to get a 33 gallon starter kit and another lesson learned....not all fish tanks are created equal...I would NOT recommend the petsmart kit, the hagen is more expensive for a reason...namely the filter, but I digress. At any rate I never realized just how enjoyable it is to just unwind at the end of the day watching FISH! I love it...who would have thunk it?
