my new hobby is fishes. really we started with two .28 cent goldfish and a 3 gallon tank. Now we have five fish tanks. One of the .28 cent fish (ZZ) died after nine months. We got a 10 gallon tank and got a new goldfish only he is black(tiny). He is in the 10 gallon tank with zipper our oldest fish who 2 years. tiny is now 1 year. We then got a 7 gallon tank and 2 more 10 gallons. we have a dwarf frog in the 3 gallon tank her name is sarah. We have two black fin sharks in one of the 10 gallon tanks and two catfish in the other. Our sharks are only 5 months old and they are huge we have a 25 gallon tank on layaway right now we just don't know were to put it. We have different algae eaters in each one. every one of our fish has a name. I was very sad the other day wetoe jumped out of his tank and landed in the sink (I was doing dishes at the time) we couldn't save him. He was 15 months old. We have four tetras in the 7 gallon tank. one of the catfish looks like she may have babies real soon. I have no way of knowing until they get bigger or have babies if they are female or male. I do know that the sharks are male and female so we may end up with baby sharks some day. We are going to get tropical fish sommeday but right now we have bracis and fresh water fish only. This is the best hobby I have ever had. Fish are cheap and easy pets until you get five tanks. we are changing filters or lightbulbs almost everyday. we clean each tank once a month. feeding time takes 15 minutes a day and if they get a illness, which happens often with that many fish. then you not only have to figure out what it is they have but you also have to be prepared for the loss if you were wrong.It isn't like you can just take them to the vet. If you are interested in fish or have questions about fish ou may have I may have answers for you.
