Anyone here interested in pet fish?... especially small pet fish like guppy,zebra etc... I'm planning to getting started with a 10 gallon tank and some small fish... If anyone has any experience to say it would be welcome

I am not interested in fish at all but we had various fish when I was a kid and I remember guppies were one.

@pradab The one I had was a birthday gift from my sister. It was a pink tropical parrot fish. To me fish are boring but it really wasn't much work to take care of. I was terrible and would forget to feed it all the time.

Fish care is tedious,that's why most people are not interested....but they provide a colorful diversion from routine hectic life

I'm not really interested... I've had some bad experience with fish in aquarium... I once accidentally killed the entire population of beautiful fish in an aquarium...

@Lizirazo I forgot to share the positives of having a fish tank... just looking at those beautiful creatures swimming about will give you a sense of calmness and relaxation.....

You are so right... it's tedious...involves regular maintenance of feeding and cleaning.... I'm just starting and sometime forget the chore... anyway thanks for the response

I'm not into fish but I hope someone else might have some information. You could always use the 'search' function and you might come up with some recent discussions on fish.
