Added a little aquarium...

[Roms]

I have HUGE aquariums... decided to add this little one to my desk at home.

Sweet!!

Post a picture of your desk if you want!

I used to have an aquarium screen saver, but I lost it somewhere between changes of computers. I now just have my screens set to go black after about 10 minutes of inactivity.

Do you have a cat? Do they like the fish? My cat likes to sit and follow my cursor around on the screen.

I have two different aquarium screen savers. The "XP Plus" one will only do one screen and the other one goes black. The other one is called "dream aquarium" and it does both and has a ton of features. I used to have the Dream aquarium go on after 15 mins and lock my PC. A few times I got up in the middle of the night and my PC was really revving... figured it was because of all the 3d scaling ect... (I keep my PC on 24/7).

Now I just use the starfield.

Had a cat. She would sit for hours and watch my fish (on her but, whole body stiff and head going back and forth...). LOL

First attachment is plus (freshwater), second is plus (marine)...

Mine looked like your second one. I'm on a Mac, so I'm sure it wasn't the exact same app, but it does look like it was made by the same person.

When I was growing up, we had an aquarium, and we would take the barstool and put it in front of it and our cat would just sit there and watch and watch and watch... and occasionally stick a paw out like she thought she might be able to get one.

My mom is a bigtime cat lover. It was her cat and spoiled, so when I lived at home she wouldn't let me get a cat of my own or have an inside dog ... so I got into aquariums...

As we speak I'm building "a wall of fish" behind my sofa... Two 90 gallon tanks side by side... MOOHAHAHAA LOL

I'm alergic to cats unless I raise it from a kitten...

That sounds more psychological than an actual allergy.

Nope, trust me I'm allergic to tons of stuff. If someone keeps a very clean house and there isn't cat hair on every item in the house, keeps the box changed I'm fine (with most cats)... But if not my eye's start swelling up and I'm done for.

wasn't aware you had your degree.

[Boofo]

No degree here, just an observation. Sorry if you took it as a slam.

I used have freshwater fish growing up, then a few years back I think hey, let me get a small tank going again and if I like it, I can get the big 90 gallon I always dreamed of as a kid...

Unfortunately when I got sick my parents and sister took care of the fish... and each one thought they were the only ones feeding them.

I have no more fish.

Now I see this forum and I would be embarrassed to even start a tank again.

Just giving you a little $#!t

All I'm saying is If I'm around the cat for a long people of time in a clean environment I'm all good. I generally like all animals... I think dogs are my fav.
