As it was with most sysadmins, for years my biggest hobby has been messing around with unix systems. When that became a real career for me the hobby lost its luster and I started craving something else. I've found it in fish keeping. Although I'm not too far along in the hobby yet, I'm finding it very rewarding to read about and take care of and aquarium. I'm learning a lot, and feeling like I can be somewhat creative with it while still having some set of rules and guidelines to follow.

At the suggestion of one of my readers, I'm going to start discussing stuff here. Some of it will make sense and some won't. I'm open to advice here. I'd like to learn.
