aven’t you always wanted a pet that you could easily take care of and call your own? Buy tropical fish! Fish are relatively inexpensive compared to other pets. Their food is less expensive, they don’t shed, and best of all, they won’t make a smelly mess on the floor. What could be better?

          Raising tropical fish is one of the most exciting and rewarding hobbies that I have ever found. The birth of a baby fish gives you such a feeling of excitement -- a sense of parenthood. People of all ages can feel like a parent. The birth also gives you a feeling of reward. Your aquarium now contains at least one more fish than before. In the long term, this will be very economical when the original fish you had purchased come to the end of their relatively short life cycle.
