Very COOL. I might get flamed for this next comment but oh well...
I'm more interested in the inverts than I am fish. I wonder if there's a meeting I can attend? A hermit crab is what made me decide to try my hand at this hobby. I was at my wife's friend's house and she had a tank. I just stared at the few hermits that were in there and I was amazed. I saw a post on here where someone described the nassys as "Night of the Living Dead" snails and am looking forward to having them. I think my fish prejudice comes from fishing, I like pelagics and game fish. One day I'd like to have a predator tank with snappers and groupers with big pieces of lr.

Early the hermits, emeralds and snails I have are very exciting to watch. I can sit there for hours and watch them ***) . I have honestly cut back watching tv because I am so preoccupied. I keep telling my girlfriend that we got a 48" tv and didn't even realize it. I can't wait to add the fish.
PS I also can't wait to get down to pensacola and land me a 20" red fish
and a couple flounders :jumping:

I am going down on memorial day weekend. There is a minimum and maximum size for reds right? Some reason I have it in my mind that the biggest one you can catch is 28". Maybe I am way off here. Just can't wait to get in that florida water and sit on a boat for 5-6 hrs,and drink something out of the ol'brown bottle..

28" is the max. Cans are better on the boat

Any invert "unsafe" fish. Also, hermits will occasionally kill them. I have some sort of Blenny (sold as a Bicolor but it's not..) that occasionally will grab one and rough them up to get the food they are eating.
