[nabs-l] keeping aquariums

[Kaiti Shelton]

I haven't kept fish at college yet, but a few friends of mine and I
are getting an apartment next year and I'm interested in possibly
getting fish.  I have had fish as a family pet before though, and this
year my roommate and I have also "fish-sat" a few times when people
went home over the weekend or whatever.  When you clean the tank it's
best to just have a separate bowl to put the fish in.  Completely dump
out the old water, clean out the bowl, then fill it with new water and
put the fish back in.  I know I'm not very specific, (sorry, it's
late) but once you do it once or twice you should have it down.  Tanks
may be a little more complicated though.  I've always had little
goldfish who haven't required much room so a bowl has always worked
fine.
