Being motivated by some of my videoblogging buddies on ActiveRain (Debb Janes, Richard Yates, and Michael Thornton just to name three), I decided one evening to capture footage while watching our African Cichlids (freshwater fish from Lake Malawi in Africa, the third largest lake there) in our 110 gallon freshwater tank. Since I work mostly from home as my base, and have many clients meet me here, it’s always fun to turn on the lights of the tank, especially if I know kids are coming. Inevitably, people are immediately drawn to it as they head past the entry.
There is something very fluent and calming about watching fish. We’ve seen these guys grow since having the tank set up about 18 months ago. Pretty cool stuff. I have named some of the fish, as you will hear in this video. (You'll also hear my Golden Retriever, Takoda, breathing in the background--he gets excited watching, too!)
They are the closest we could come to a saltwater-like tank without all of the maintenance. Enjoy!!!
