    Hey! You're not supposed to have any obsessions other than us!

    I really like that first one. Are fish really difficult to keep alive? Girls are pushing for a pet, and they would love fish, but I'm afraid of them being traumatized if the fish die.
    I sleep, but I don't rest.

    Those are cool fish! I use to have a bunch of them. Hope you have room....they get BIG! I was lucky, our water here was great for them, and they grew really fast because of it. Their personalities are funny, but very territorial. Have fun!

    Cool fish John. We have 3 Chiclids here. What do you feed them? I only feed ours frozen food. We tried some pellets once, but they made such a mess. We haven't had to clean the tank, other than changing the filters for over a year since we went back to all frozen food.

    Adina, our fish are pretty much maintenance free. We change the filter catridge once in a while, but that's about it. We started out with 5, but 2 didn't make it. The other 3 are still going strong tho. We have had them for about two and half years now. I have know idea how long they can live.
