In the
good old days when my children were young and still listened to me,
meaning a very long time ago, my oldest got a fish as a goodie bag gift
from an impressively creative mom giving an under the sea birthday
party. And although I was thrilled she didn't bring home candy, I don't
think that mom realized what she started.
My
daughter loved that fish. She sat there for hours staring at the poor fish not realizing it was slowly running out of oxygen in that little plastic cup. Knowing very little about fish except that when a fish swims on it side it is a bad sign I purchased a large glass bowl thinking all of our problems, actually my daughters and her fishes problems and there for my problems, were solved.
The larger bowl was only a temporary fix. It didn't take long for my husband, who loves all things gadget and believes that bigger is always better, got involved and my small fish in the cup problem began to grow and grow and grow. Before I knew it my living room had a two hundred gallon fish tank with 20+ fish and a lot of very happy algae. All because of a creative birthday party parting gift.
I think I would have preferred the fish tank below. There are real fish in that tank. Hard to believe. This guy sells miniature that are amazing he can be found here : http://konenko.net/index-en.htm
Our gigantic fish tank did not come with us when we moved to our current home, and honestly I think I prefer the plastic version below (even though my husband and daughter would disagree). It will never grow algae and the fish will never swim on their sides unless they become unglued. Besides it fits perfectly on my black bookcase.
Cheers!
