    Not necessarily a reality but could be. Mine would be to be able to travel the world and collect my own fish. Of course I'd want at least 5 -250 gal tanks, 10 -55 gal, 25 -20 gal(breeders).I actually dream of collecting specimens from the amazon. Yeah it mat be weird but then some dreams are weird. Lets hear what is your aqua fantasy. Have fun with this one! :)

    lol
    I would love to collect wild and exotic Poecilia (Guppies, Endler's, and the new Obscura), and captive breed for the traits I enjoy most, then after years of work, Cross breed them with one another and create the most awesome guppies in the world!!!
    I plan on doing show quality guppies one day, and have plans to build a "Tank House" on my acre of land. I'll have wall to wall tanks, and plenty in the middle too. (those walmart type set ups, only bigger). And I'll have a 1000 gallon tank in the living room =3 I'll call it the "Swimming Pool"!

    warning, you opened this can of worms ursi...
    I'd like a complete room filled with nothing but massive sized aquariums of various species (several thousand gallons or so should do the trick)...AND I'd like to have a chippendale come and do daily tank maint. and pay for it's upkeep.
    Hehe!

    I'll allow the cowboy hat and leather chaps though. RIDE EM, but I'll have the bull whip in case he's not cleaning the tanks well enough. ROFL

    Since it is fantasy....which may or may not come true one day....a whole wall tank. Not the little 10 footer that I'm building but the entire wall from left to right, top to bottom. Complete with water fall and rain maker for water changes. I have the vision...or should say have had the vision for a very long time.

    If I ever get funding .... this project will get off the ground.

    Maybe but a Goldfish has never won Best in Show at that venue, there's always the first time.

    Sorry back to AQUATIC fantasy! (it was our moderator who started it! LOL). I like the "swimming pool" but my living room is to small. (darn) The wall tank would be so neat to design, build and stock. I myself actually like doing the maintnance myself, Gives me something to do.

    I feel happy when my tank is doing well. Opposed to be other 80% of life I find rather hard to tolerate.

    haha, kid friendly...of course.
    Hey, even circus trainers have whips and circus' are supposed to be for kids.

    hey, any time someone else wants to do my tank maint they are more than welcome to...I'd love to be the one who just sits back and enjoys it compared to upkeeps it for once!

    lol XD I would if I lived in your neighborhood.
    I service the local Chinese food's tank when I go in there, but they never stick with my advice, and besides that, other than a thank you, I get nothing from it... The water is always looking like milk and the gold fish look so sick.... Thin goldfish just ain't right!
