So, What Does Your Other Half Really Think......

[Donya]

My husband likes the critters, especially the more interactive ones. You wouldn't know it at the store though, since he grumbles and complains the entire time on the rare occasions when I drag him to the LFS with me...but then the next morning usually brings with it a "you should get [strange thing]" or "can we have [bizarre animal]?" A couple days ago I had my usual morning coffee/tea-making stupor broken by "can we set up a Jack Dempsey tank?"

My husband is darn near as interested as me, but he really hates doing the maintenance and didn't think it was necessary (he has a 20g with black skirt tetras, German rams and albino cories) until I cut and pasted a topic about the bad things that can happen when you don't perform regular maintenance! Now he's gotten better, sort of. It's actually usually me who does the W/C in his tank. But he'll learn. Or he'll have lots of little fish funerals.
