h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Now this might seem obsesive, but no one has discussed fish with me in about four months. I would love to know how other people feel about fish. I just ate one so my mind is rather full of them at the moment. I hated to do it, but it was unavoidable. Of course I appoligized to it first.

Perhaps they've had their chips!

I love fish. I don't eat them because of the no food with a face rule, although I stiil remember they taste good. Anyhoo, I have a huge tropical fish tank that is now inhabited by just one little fish. I think in his stocking he would like to find a friend so I will go out Christmas eve and find him a little fishy friend. Ps I do have kids and so have not transfered all my affection to a lonely swimmer called Bob.

I think a Babel Fish would be a neat gift.
It would certainly make Spanish much easier for me.

Spanish is a beautiful and easy language to learn. I would reccomend it. Save the bable fish for martian or other languages they don't do courses in at your local college

Spanish is just a lovely language to learn, but if fish spoke it I would be an altogether happier person because then I could talk to them. Lunch was fish again today, so I appoligized again for it being killed in the first place, then fourced it all down as in my belly is a much better place then the trash can for any self respecting fish.

The christmas gift I give to myself (tomorrow) are a nice pair of Betta splendens (siamese fish), but - as you may imagine - I never ever will eat them!

For that I applaud you.

Beta Splendens - Yes! The bluish ones with red fins. We used to have tanks, and my favorites were kribenses, aequindens, lace angels, discus, I could go on and on.

i have no idea what thay look like so i will just nod and smille and try to keep some dignity

I will applaud and smile becuase I haven´t got a clue what you´re talking about, but if it has to do with fish it makes me happy.

ure so not like me i only used 2 have 2 small gold fish and they dient stay alive 4 long i hate fish ever since i flushed em down the bog

Get ahold of a good book by one of the experts. The Innes is good - lots of colored plates. The Sterba has all the fresh water fish in the world. Axelrod is better for descriptions.

@ Barney's Bucksaws: Not only red and blue, there are many more... The ones I got are called Black Yellow Crown Tails - and are the most beautiful fish I ever had the honor to have...

i have only ever had angel fish......
no actualy i had a atfish once but my sister droped copper coins into the water and thay died.....

I bet they're beautiful! I've been out of fish for a number of years, and new colours and hybrids have come along since then. I just mentioned red and blue, because that's what I had. I had a successful breed once, and that was something to watch - and look after! We did manage to save about half of the brood.

I just got mine on Sunday, and they started to breed already... It's wonderful to watch them and they are just beautiful...

I think I´m going to get some fish when I get home! I am so excited my head might burst open!

The brood started to move this morning... Tiny little fish (1/2 mm) running around in the nest their father built on the water surface...

Good luck with your brood! Labyrinth fish have to be the most interesting to watch.
