Hello from a pet newbie.

Thanks, I appreciate that. Tropical fish interest me, although it goes without saying for many smaller pets that tanks can cost a lot. I was recently a student and I'm for the time being I'm living with my parents, and they're quite against me owning any kind of pet. (That's mostly due to my mother who restricts our cat to one room, and my dad's a cat lover, what a happy couple...)

Looking forward to future discussions.
