Fish tanks and aquariums are a popular hobby for people of all ages. People can sit and stare at fish for hours. I remember when I received my first fish tank. One day, however, I was down at the local pet shop and they had a contest or drawing where the winner would receive a free fish tank.
It was the pet shop! They told me that I had won the fish tank! We also bought some gold fish and other fish to put in the fish tank. A hobby is a recreational activity outside of work or one's career. Eventually my fish all died and one of my friends was playing with a bee-bee gun in my room one day and accidentally shot the tank.
Later in college, one of my friends had a huge fish tank in her apartment, with several piranhas. She We sat there for an hour or more, all of us, like watching TV, but staring at this fish tank as the piranhas attacked and devoured the gold fish. As soon as she dumped the fish into the tank, it went wild.
One of my friend's little brothers got a new fish tank and some fish while we were in high school.
My family has some fish right now. They have a fish tank and a bunch of goldfish. Their fish have lived for a long time, now, and the goldfish are getting huge. The tank is dirty right now, though. A couple weeks ago they brought over a friend's "cleaning fish" to eat all of the dirty muck in the tank. It only took a few days for the fish to eat all of the muck and make the tank look as good as new. Too bad we cannot have some sort of cleaning animal around the house that would clean up like that. It would sure save a lot of trouble, but I guess for now we will have to settle with the online hobby store and more.
