Most interesting fish choices for at home?

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.

can i use any kayak in the surf to drop my fishing line?

sneakerfre

I dont know much about the whole kayak thing... can i use any kayak? are there certain types just for waves? is it better when its smaller or bigger? any help would be nice... thanks

Answer
a sit on top style is the preferred one for fishing. mine has a hatch that l can slip my rod into in case l'm concerned about losing my rod in the surf. which, by the way, l only fish areas in the ocean with as little surf as possible. l use mine mostly in f/w or sheltered beaches. near the malibu pier is nice most of the time as is off of santa barbara county beaches.
mine is a 12 1/2 foot "fish n dive" model by "cobra". has a 600lb capacity. it is wide and a stable fishing platform.
and there are other shorter ones for playing in the surf.

What would you do if you were stuck on an island with only knife?

beach shelter fishing image

Roger Hall

Well if I had only a knife to work with on an island. I would first make shelter then find some firewood and with some of the firewood make a big S.O.S sign on the island. After that I would find a coconut and talk to it. naw jk. hahah Well that's some of the few things I would do with a knife. What would you do?

Answer
Shelter first, then attempt to make catch basins for rain, since water's going to be a serious problem. (I'm assuming my island is in the ocean.) After that, I'd be making every kind of signaling effort I could. Do I have a means to start a fire? A signal fire, kept dry with its own (flammable) shelter is good. So are rocks I use to spell out HELP on a beach, with more rocks laid in a straight line pointing to my message.

I'm going to make catch basins for tidal water, too, and stock fish and whatever else is trapped there. How did I get there? Maybe I can use some of whatever washes up from my downed plane or sunken ship.

What are some really good weekend vacation spots in Georgia, USA?

Scarlett

My boyfriend is a college student and i am graduating high school in 3 weeks. This summer we're planning on going on a vacation together, but obviously it's gotta be really affordable. So we want to be frugal but still have a great time.
Is St. Simons Islands as calm as daytona beach in fl?
I've heard about places like blue ridge, helen, and barnsley gardens but i've never really been anywhere in georgia for vacations.
Need all suggestions!!

Answer
-Fifth Best Vacation Spot in Georgia- Atlanta

Atlanta is certainly the most visited city in Georgia thanks to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Of course this sprawling capital city has much to offer. Fun activities for families and children include Six Flags Over Georgia, the Georgia Aquarium, and Zoo Atlanta. The artsy crowd will enjoy the High Museum of Art, the Fox Theatre, and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. If live events are what you seek, plenty can be found at the Georgia Dome, Aaron's Amphitheatre at Lakewood, and Philips Arena. Sports fans lace up for the Atlanta Hawks, the Atlanta Braves, the Atlanta Falcons, the Atlanta Thrashers, and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Lastly, make a conscious effort to visit Stone Mountain Park's night time laser show and sneak over to nearby Athens Georgia's Sanford Stadium, the home of the Georgia Bulldogs.

-Fourth Best Vacation Spot in Georgia - Lake Oconee

About an hour east of Atlanta rests Lake Oconee, Georgia's best kept secret. Of course Lake Oconee boasts excellent fishing, boating, and water sports. There you will can also enjoy seven of the world's finest golf courses designed by the likes of Jack Nicholas and Ben Crenshaw. Fine dining and world class pampering can be found at the Ritz Carlton Lodge at Reynolds Plantation where several of these golf courses are hidden. This quiet lake community comes alive every year when the entire golf world turns its eyes to Augusta, Georgia for the Masters golf tournament.

-Third Best Vacation Spot in Georgia - Cumberland Island

A trip to Cumberland Island is not an event that can be described in words, rather an encounter that must be experienced. First one must board the Cumberland Island Ferry in mainland St. Mary's, Georgia. Once on Cumberland, you will soak in the best unspoiled scenery that nature has to offer. Sprawling, giant live oaks adorned with Spanish moss provide shelter to low lying palmettos. As you move further away from the mainland you will find the ruins of Nathaniel Greene's home and a myriad of wildlife including turkey, deer, and alligators. Further we go and approach undisturbed beaches where wild horses roam. No high rise hotels. Just you and nature the way it was intended. Don't forget to bring food and water for your excursion and camping on the island is available. Once you return to the mainland St. Mary's has everything you need.

-Second Best Vacation Spot in Georgia - North Georgia Mountains

North Georgia is decorated with the spirited Blue Ridge Mountains. Visit fantastic shops in fabulous towns like Ellijay, Blue Ridge, Dahlonega, and Helen. Of course there are scenic log cabins everywhere you turn available for rent year round. Here you can also hike the Appalachian Trail which begins in Springer Mountain, Georgia and ends in Mount Katahdin, Main.e. Don't miss Chateau Elan in Braselton, Georgia and experience world class spa treatment, golf, dining, lodging, and winery. One can truly find peace and relaxation in this enchanted region.

-The Best Vacation Spot in Georgia - Savannah/ Tybee Island, Georgia

Savannah and Tybee Island, Georgia are a remarkable combination of fun, relaxation, and scenery.

Start your day with a scenic drive out to Tybee Island. Spend the day in the sun on Tybee's beaches and mingle with the very friendly locals. At dusk, stop by the Crab Shack on your way back in. It's "Where the elite eat in their bare feet!". Once back in Savannah, take stroll down the cobblestoned River Street which houses night clubs, restaurants, and gift shops. There will also be plenty of live music and street performers as you watch the moon gleam on the Savannah River. Make sure you stop at Wet Willie's for a frozen treat. Beauty, atmosphere, and culture make Savannah and Tybee Island the best vacation spot in Georgia.

Does anyone have any good ideas for camping activities?

CampIng201

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.
