Pet Fish

Need advice on getting a pet fish for someone special?
Someone special to me wants to keep pet fish.She wanted clownfish, but since they are Marine Fish I dont think she wants to go thru the whole hassle of mantaining a salt-Water Aquarium. She is a novice, as am I, at keeping fish as pets. Can someone help us out with choosing what fish to get? She loves clownfish cuz they look cute…are there any fresh-water fish that are similiarly cute-looking, and easy to keep? I would appreciate any advice or suggestions…what fish to get, aquarium needs,etc. Thanks!
It’s good to do research before buying fish. For this occasion get a good book,and make sure everyone concerned understands what’s involved in keeping fish. It’s a lot of work,it’s time consuming,it’s stuff that can’t be put off until a convenient time. There are no easy to keep fish(at least not keep humanely.). To buy a cute fish without understanding it’s needs is a recipe for disappointment and dead fish. Before spending a lot of money,look up tank cycling,fish-less cycling,water changes,feeding, water requirements for aquarium fishes,and water testing. Don’t kill a bunch of innocent fish, and don’t get fish advice from people with stuff to sell. JUST GET A BOOK!

Pete’s Dragon [VHS] $3.85 Disney loved to mix live action with animation (Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks), but this 1977 effort falls on its face. The turn-of-the-century story concerns an orphaned boy whose only friend is a cartoon monster. While the latter is entertainingly rendered, the rest of the film strains to be enchanting and the cast overreaches in a big way. Not for anybody over the age of ten. –Tom Keo… |
