I helped my brother move house last week and the weekend

 

He had 10 large fish tanks with fish which he couldn't take as he went from a 4 bed rented to a 3 bed which he bought but quite a bit smaller

 

He swapped some tanks and fish for a 8ft tank to keep his 10 piranhas  in    these are seriously scarey fish which he has to keep stuffed with food like a bulls foot or they eat each other.

 

I ended up with a 4ft tank with 4 fish  (wifes since bought another 6)

And a small 2 1/2ft tank with 2 small puffer fish in it that can not live with anything else

 

Wasn't really interested at first but I have to say they are fasinating and really quite relaxing

 

Did try and post a picture but it came out upside down so gave up with that

@wil440a properly maintained aquarium is certainly a nice addition to a living environment. In the past I had several tanks and it created a peaceful atmosphere with an artistic flare. Fresh water was my limit, I found salt to be too demanding and expensive. I found sub aquatic plants extremely interesting and pursued many complimentary species...funny note, the fish were there only to provide natural nutrients and promote a balanced environment. The submerged garden was certainly a beautiful presentation in my modest living room. Your post, brought back some pleasant recollection of times past.
