Any one else a fan of fish keeping? I'm neck deep after a friend gave me their 40 gal cichlid tank then I got a 75 gal tank which I have a 170gal tank to replace it coming this weekend.

    Nah... we spend all our discretionary income on cigars.  You, of all people, should know that.  :wink:

    I had a 65 gallon tank with cichlids but gave the tank away a few years ago

    If only you had a hot tub you weren't using.

    Funny enough I do have a hot tub I'm not using but that because I seal it up for the winter. It's too weak for the winters around here.

    Used to have a nice aquarium in my office. Loved watching the fish and listening to the water. Hated the maintenance.

    I had tanks when I was younger, no surprise my 13 year old likes them too.  Here is one of his tanks, the largest, at 29 gallons.

    Back in the mid-sixties I worked for Boeing near Seattle. They had an unwritten policy whereby they'd hire pipe smokers but wouldn't consider them for management positions. Their thinking was that pipe smokers are too lethargic - certainly not dynamic enough to be in management. 

    I wonder how they'd react to someone with an aquarium in their office....  Hmmmm??   B)

    What kind of Cichlids?  African? South American? I have had up to a 120 and 2 - 55's going with Africans before but gave that up and just have my 1 55 now after a disastrous move about 8yrrs ago.  Killed off all of my African Peacock show males.  It was hear breaking to say the least. 

    Life is too short to smoke bad cigars!!!

    Haha! Maybe that's why my productivity has increased. Seriously, though... when I had an aquarium in my office, it was a pastor's study... and everyone knows that pastors only work a couple of hours per week. ;)
