![]() The hobby as whole seems mostly "male oriented", based on what I've seen at boards like this, stores, and "fish auctions". You're not alone Brad on the Mrs. shaking her head. I,(we), get referred to around here as "fish geeks". But can you explain to me this...when we have company, it's NOT me who eagerly shows guests "our" latest aquisition, or explains behavioral characteristics, feeding requirements, disease or algae problems. In fact, just last week we were watching the movie "Creepshow" and there is a scene with Leslie Nielson in an ocean front home. He had a marine aquarium and Margo says, "look, he has a Yellow Tang, a Wrasse, oh and look, a Lion fish just like "Lionell"...this is coming from someone who didn't really know the difference, or care, between a fresh or saltwater system two years ago. A "fish geekette" in the making ?
She has shown an interest and acquired the passion for this interest of mine. Something I still haven't been able to accomplish. You guys that live in Calgary and go with your gal to Big Al's know what I'm talkin' about... "let's go next door to the craft store after ok"... :shock: "yes dear". In fact I've probably seen ya' in there. Head tossed back, eyes rollin' around in your head, draggin' your feet like a kid who has to go with mom to get school supplies...
