ものすごく長い和訳ですが...
大変長くなって申し訳ないんですが、下の和訳が分かる方はお願いします(>_<)
What comes to mind when you think of a tropical fish tank? A restaurant?
A doctor's office? Or is it the memory of your own childhood aquarium filed with a lot of colorful fish? My earliest recollections are of the local tropical fish shop.
Our whole family would walk down the stairs to the warm, humid basement where thousands of fish would be swimming in brightly lit tanks.
After long and careful deliberations, my sister and I would each choose a fish,
and into the plastic bags they would go. We would carefully hold our prizes upright the waster temperature reached that of its surroundings, probably a half hour or so, but seemingly forever to a small child. At last it was time to release the fish from the plastic bags. Our fish were home.
Keeping tropical fish can be a rewarding and educational pastime and is a popular hobby. I am astonished how much fish biology, chemistry, and physics I remember from having a childhood fish tank. But I never made the common mistake of thinking that fish were pets that require no care. Setting up and maintaining a tank correctly does take some time and energy. As an adult, I find the mixing and regulation of the water quality boring, and my husband has taken over that routine; that doesn't mean he is more responsible than I am, just ask our cats! But as a child, it was a great chance to learn about responsibility.
