For almost the whole past week I have been completely obsessed with fish. At the beginning one of my roommates set up a 20 gallon fish tank in his room and proceeded stock it with some cool looking fish called tiger barbs. For the next two days I decided to research aquariums and proper fish care and was almost instantly hooked on the idea of setting up my own aquarium when I move off campus this summer. On and off for the past few months I have researched almost anything that i can think of when it comes to fish, from different species care requirements, water ph and live plants.. I have found that hiding below the soil of my highly entrenched castle of geekitude, there is budding biologist that is seeking to make his own addition to the infrastructure. I am itching to get out of my current living arrangements in order to begin what I hope can bud into a new hobby. There are so many neat, and at times bizarre things that go into running your own aquarium tank. Some hobbyists or aquarists breed their own brine shrimp to use as a sustainable means of feeding there fish and others go to the even more creepy extent of breeding bloodworm(eww.....). Can't wait to get started...
