While conducting my research on planted tanks, I came across this article:
(Not sure how many folks have seen it).

I would say that is somewhat true. It can be very relaxing, but also very stressful too. Another fish jumped out last night, and again, I was standing right there so he got back into the tank very quickly. I wouldn't say though that it was a calming experience. It's interesting about the blood pressure. I am going to try and talk my mom into getting a tank for her house. If I do all the maintainance, maybe it will help my dad out a bit, heart wise.

That's the reason I posted the link.

Outside of the maintenance and care issues...when things are going well, there is nothing in my home more pleasing to watch.

(We've actually had nights when we shut off TV and just listen to music and watch the fish ).
