Both my husband and I grew up with aquariums in the house, and the funny thing was both our fathers had oscars. After our first child was about 3 we decided to get him a couple 7 cent gold fish knowing that wouldn't last long, well the first one didn't last long at all, but the other lasted 5 years, he outlived all our fresh water fish. We went from having a bowl to 3 aquariums, one had cichlids that populated so much it was hard to clean the tank for fear we'd vacuum one of them up. We finally got down to one tank after remodeling our downstairs and got a nice stand and wouldn't you know it about 2 months after buying the nice stand the goldfish that had lasted 5 plus years and was in a 29 gallon tank by her or his self (never did figure out what sex it was) and being that the fish had gotten about 8 inches long, it died. SO, I told my husband, lets try salt and after a lot of reading here we are, we are finding it hard (the waiting part) and exciting, and yes it's expensive especially when you have two small boys but it's fun and educational for them and us!
Thanks for putting this up!
