Are there any fishy people in here.
Whats the difference between a Marine aquarium and a tropical one? I want to get a fish tank.. With cool fish. Like a nemo and a dory (off finding nemo) but they are marine fish and we have only ever had tropical. ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

Presumably a marine one would be salt water, and those are much more difficults to maintain. Plus, those nemo fish are seriously expensive in comparison to tropical fish. ------------- http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/" rel="nofollow">

My sister is a fishy person. She had some freshwater clown fish which looked similar to Nemo, not sure what she has atm but she has a huge tank with a heater, filter etc., the kind that makes you wanna pee every five mins just listening to it.
She also has a shark in a small bowl on her dressing table, I always thought sharks were big scary things with lots of teeth but they apparently come in smaller versions, much smaller. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

| My friend has fish like that. If you want to chat with her flick me a PM. They have 3 tanks of tropical fish and they love them. I think she has a shrimp and some other funky ones. |

| I used to have tropical fish but they all died within a year so I wouldn't recommend spending very much money on them at all! Siamese Fighting fish are pretty cool. |
