My missus loves watching the the main display tank in the evenings and going to LFS or not so LFS what woman don't like shopping she will even pick a copy of PFK up from time to time and have a read she also just started showing interest in the breeding program Ive just started. hay next be getting involved with the maintenance but there no chance with that in the near future!!!

My wife helps me do the water change on the 350l. Given that she now finds it easier with the pump and hose she just plugs it all in and away it goes. Then reverses the format and fills up the tank. She uses seacheam prime and then doses tpn+ into the tank afterwards.
Before she would help me remove any shells or trim plants, but now she is pregnant she will just do the water changes
My wife has also helped me scape in the past and catch the shrimps and fishes to put into other tanks etc. So she enjoys it and helping out
I think she took a bigger interest after we went on honeymoon to thailand and took her snorkling. We also attended aquarama 2011 as well as any shows that take place in London

mine helps encouraged by the fact that I tend to breed the "pretty" fish she likes
It seems to have all been about wives so far! My hubby has an interest in that he likes to look at the tanks, will talk about changes with me and will help with any lifting etc More importantly he doesn't mind me spending money on my hobby - especially now it pays its way a little bit! But, he wouldn't want to get involved with the 'boring', maintenance side of it even if he was more physically able. He never has been one for anything too 'manual'!

My o/h is brilliant he takes an interest and gives me a hand with things, but unfortunatley that interest leads to him fiddling with the tanks when I'm out...
Mainly, he keeps changing the flipping settings on my G6!!

Yep, he's already done that!! The taking apart that is. On the bright side, he's happy to change the mechanical cartridge for me when it needs cleaning (I have 2) on the down side, I still have to clean the old one myself!!
I'm dreading what will happen when I've finally got the FE going... but at least it doesn't have buttons

My wife thinks I'm an insane trouser rubber, and that I spent way too much time on this web site; but I've no idea what she is worried about! Can you guess what it is yet? Eat the pigeons! Dead fly!
