Aquarium keeping is almost as cool as philately or coin collecting. ALMOST. Unlike those other hobbies, you just throw money at your aquarium and have nothing of any particular resale value to show for it. Just pure sex appeal, that's all. I told myself I'd take some pics next time I trimmed the plants. This tank is actually not particularly expensive. The plants are grown using dirt and sunlight, as opposed to high-intensity lights, expensive imported mineral rich clay/gravel, substrate heating and CO2 supplementation. The tank really does have some fairy good-sized, colorful fish, but they are shy.
