I was trying to be funny and peak your curiosity with my title there!LOL! We live in a four bed room apartment and it’s pretty roomy, compared to what some are like. Our living room is an all-in-one, that has what they like to call here a ‘bonus’ room where there’s a big window, which I love. This area I’ve turned into a sitting room, where I like to go and sit on the love seat sofa by the window and read, think, or just hang out. My kids love it too. They like to sprawl out on the sofa and look out the window or just hang out.
We used to have a 50 foot tank in NY with fishes that were babies when we bought them. My husband has a knack for this plus he used to have a few ponds of fishes when he was a boy, so he is very versed on the care and keep of fishes. When we moved from NY we had to give away our fishes that were now well over two years old. Some had died and we got new ones, but there were at least four of them that we had for a long time. Who knew fishes could live that long! They were so big you could eat them! It was hard giving them away because we had grown attached to them and they were a part of our family. Since we couldn’t move such a long distance with them, we made sure to pass them on to someone who would love and care for them as much as we did.
At our current place, although no four-legged pets allowed, we found out recently that we could have a fish tank. My husband recently obtained a tank and all the accoutrements that went with it. Then we went shopping for fishes, it was a family affair! I had forgotten how expensive that could be. We bought fishes, some stones, plants, real and fake, fish food, and other needed supplies for maintaining the tank. We bought seven fishes, all babies. Don’t even ask me what type. I would lie if I named them. But I do remember that one of them is a fighter, very colourful and one is a type that naturally cleans the tank. You always should have one like that in a fish tank.
The fish tank of course was placed on one wall, right in front of the love seat so that we could sit and enjoy watching them. I had forgotten how peaceful it is to just sit and watch them swim around in the tank. The kids like taking turn feeding them when it’s feeding time. I’m looking forward to them growing up. Oh to be like a fish in a tank, just floating around.
