Aquarium in living room

[Anonymous]

I don't think this is a class issue. the class issue would be how clean is it.

Of course not. Aquariums, or fish tanks, are a lot of work, though. So, you need to be ready to spend the time to clean it. Kids love them.

I have no idea how this is low class? Cats and dogs aren't considered low class, and they leave hair everywhere (ew). A well maintained tank can look nice. I'm not up for the maintenance of a big one, but we have a small bowl with a beta in the living room for the kids.

I think a big snake in a tank is more low-class than an aquarium. Maybe I just hate snakes.

Wow -- can't believe people think these are low class. I would love to have a really nice aquarium. I'm not sure how "low class" is defined, but I've got an Ivy League education and make a bunch of money ... maybe I'm still low class, though. .

No, you're just nuveau riche. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between the two.

It might be, but we have one. Where else would we put it? Our kitchen is way too small, plus, I doubt the fish would appreciate watching us eat thier friends

An aquarium should be placed where it can be enjoyed AND where its water can be most easily changed.

I will actually watch them while I drink my morning coffee. I also suck at taking care of the upkeep, so I hired someone to do it.

Why keep fish in a tank when they belong to lakes and rivers?

We have a 75 gallon reef tank (coral and saltwater fish) in our family room. We love it! It is a lot of work, but we think it's very worth the effort and expense. There is something very relaxing about watching fish swim and hearing the water move.
