beach shelter fishing image
Q. I would like to buy a fish tank and shelter some aquatic life, but I just don't want to watch a couple of fish swim all the time and do nothing but eat.
Do you know any interesting combination of sea creatures to house in a large fish tank and seen the most activity? (like your housing a small chunk of the beach, but instead it lives inside that tank.)
Any answers?
NOTE: Thank you everyone for replying. All your answers are good. =]

Answer
Well if you want "sea" creatures i assume you mean saltwater? then the most interesting thing you can do in my opinion is a reef tank. The limitations are endless but it requires a lot of research and work. You can get some beautiful wrasses, tangs angels ect. There are endless amounts of inverts just be prepared for some effort that needs to be put in on your behalf to maintain such a tank. Otherwise id reccomend sticking with freshwater and still there are many beautiful fish you can do some of my favorites would be the african cichlids and discus fish. A little less work is involved in maintaining that type of tank but still need to do a lot of research and work. Keeping fish isnt easy but if you enjoy doing it than it is very calming and extremely rewarding. Do research and find what type of tank best suits you befor jumping into something and not want to put the time into keeping the fish happy and healthy. If youi have any ideas as far as marine tanks go id be happy to help. when it comes to keeping freshwater id reccomend asking magicman he really knows his stuff as well as a few others on this site. Hope this helps and good luck on your future tank.

Does anyone have any good ideas for camping activities?

I am going camping this summer with my friends... And I don't know what we should do!!! We are staying in a cabin for a few days on the beach. Does anyone have any ideas?
Answer
Yes..
1. Stargazing. Check out all the stars and constellations. Since you are away from the city lights, the view can be amazing.
2. Plant and Wildlife Identification. Go looking for leaves, berries, tracks, scat, dens, burrows, etc. Learn what things live in your camping area and be able to identify them.
3. Hiking. Go for a walk and see nature in action. Let the kid inside you come out as you explore areas you have never been. The kids will love the adventure of it and it is great exercise.
4. Start fires without matches. Use flint and steel or use a hand or bow drill. You can make a game of this to test your survival skills against others.
5. Go fishing or hunting. These are camping basics and quite a lot of fun.
6. Practice Knife and Hatchet Throwing. All you need is a target and you are ready for action. I will tell you from experience that hatchet throwing is much easier.
7. Tell Ghost Stories and Adventure Stories around the campfire. Some of my best memories as a kid were hearing these types of stories from my father and other adults. Give your kids this same experience by learning a few good stories.
8. Orienteering with map and compass or GPS. Set a course to find a location on the map. With the invention of the GPS, this normally mundane activity is now exciting.
9. Geocaching. This popular treasure hunting game uses a GPS device to find hidden treasures in the field. You can adapt your campsite for this very same function by hiding some objects in the area and allow for family and friends to go hunt for them.
10. Birdwatching. Being away from the city, you have the opportunity to see a number of different types of birds that you would otherwise not be able to appreciate or follow. Here, is a chance to see them in their natural habitat.
11. Watch Animals. Make a blind and stay down wind from the animals. If it is early morning or late in the day, you are likely to see a number of animals come down for a drink.
12. Build a Lean-To or some other man-made shelter. This is a great idea if you are camping with a number of people. A lot of team work will go into building this structure and there is always a lot of satisfaction out of building something with your bare hands. Why not let your camping group share in this experience.
13. Learn different types of knots and try them out. You can do this for fun to show off to friends or you can make it practical by using the knots to help with your camping. For example, create a rope that will hold up your water bucket from a tree.
14. Build a water still. This is another survival technique which gives you a chance to see if you could really survive using this method. Give it try as it is something you can set-up, go do other things and then, check back later to see how you did.
15. Create snares and traps. This works much like a water still would in that you set it up and check on it later. Just be sure to let all the people in your party know where they are and be sure to take them down when you will be leaving.
16. Glow sticks for the kids. Bring along glow sticks for the little kids to play with at night. Kids love these things and will make their own games with them.
17. Woodcarving. This grandfather favorite can also be a hit with kids. It allows them to be creative in what they might design and teaches them patience. Plus, the only tools that are needed are wood and a pocket knife.
