Re: female fishophiles unite!

Both of you are lucky women.  My boyfriend (who's love is in guppies and not 
killies), constantly asks me why we can't just put chloinated water in the 
tanks, and why I am so fussy about thier heath and well being.  His 
reasonning "when I was a kid I used to put chloronated water in my tank, 
hell I used to put my fish in my pocket, they will be fine!"....oh well 
;)....some people are harder to convince than others ;).
