is there a THRILL in keeping fish?

[BW]

If you search for thrill in rec.aquaria you get some interesting
results. The thrill of owning rare breeds, the thrill of keeping
difficult varieties, the thrill of feeding live bait to carnivorous
fish, the thrill of your first cichlid breeding... I'd really like to
know more about people's most thrilling aquarium related experiences.

You could say that I'm a thrill researcher. I've been conducting
interviews with people about their thrill experiences at the website
www.chromo11.com.

Feel free to discuss my question here [though I may not be around much
as I'm on about 100 groups at once], but if anyone feels they've
something to say outside your group, then please visit the site and
answer a series of thoughtful questions. I'll meet you there!

Thanks

THRILL NOTES:
1. thrill can come under many other guises - maybe you've met with
pleasure or delight?
2. sometimes the tame can be wild and vice versa; don't judge yourself
unfairly.

[Pete Gennaro]

For me it's the opposite of thrill, it's more like a mediatation

Gazing into a planted aquarium with the room lights out watching the fish
serenely floating about is more like crystal gazing or something. Also the
keeping of the plants and the environment is a science.

Now, catching a 20lb. striped bass on light tackle would start to get into
the thrill territory

correcting myself: meditation, not mediatation

mediatation is what Arnold is getting right now
