My Aquarium
That last entry reminded me why i used to write in the blog so often (i'v had a lj since, what?, 2002? and i used to write in it every day, sometimes more then once). And before that i had a written one which is the only good thing i got out of high school. But then there was myspace and i felt the need to update both and it became more of a pain then anything else and i was happy and didn't need the self therapy that blogging is. So, i will write more often, i have decided.
Subject: Fish tank
Fish present (in a 30 gallon tank, i know there's too many for it)
1 musk turtle
6 tigar barbs (three of which are the "green" color morph
1 glass catfish (the rest dissapeard)
4 gourami (gold, blue, pearl, and paradise)
1 baloon molly
1 rainbow shark
1 lake Malawi Cichlid
1 beta splender
1 dragon goby
1 placo
1 pictus catfish
lots of plants
Yes i know, too many big bottom feeders and mid water swimmers and hardly no surface swimmers. so kill me.
I wish i could get some neon tetras but they would eventually get eaten, and there really isn't room anyway. oh well.
So, as it turns out, having a fish tank is very relaxing. It's kind of like a live action screen saver which is always on. I sit on the couch and zone out while staring at them all swimming around peacefully and think about stuff. Very nice. One simply can't stay stressed with fish around, they are too relaxing. Maybe that's why fancy buissness offices have them, to put clients in a state of lolling trusting ease. And it's fun to check on the Cichlid (who i called Anaid) to see if she is blue, or purple, or purple with blue stripes, or gray, or white with blue stripes, as she tends to change depending on her mood. The pictus is also funny as he does ridiculous acrobatics for hours on end. Hmm. i don't know why i felt the need to write about the fish, really. i need to sleep. like now.
