Thought I would share another hobby that often crosses paths with collector's of insulators and bottles.
Fish keeping is a relatively new hobby of mine (3 years), but serves many purposes in my life. Originally, fish were just going to be a living decoration, much like that 15 year old mother-in-law's tongue plant (Sanseveria) you have in the corner of your living room. Being able to observe living fish was an opportunity to see what cannot easily be seen. The ability to manipulate a miniature ecosystem, and at will, change up the inhabitants and plants. Back to what fish keeping does for me, there is a sense of peacefulness and tranquility derived from watching the tanks (without getting wet!). Stress, anxiety, anguish can be lost watching the shrimp pinch snails for control of an algae wafer! Anyways, if you haven't kept fish, its not all that involved as long as you spend time on setup, and feed and turn on or off lights when needed. As long as you have a great substrate, some good plants (stay away from java moss), and some water... you got yourself a nice aquarium in time!
