Find a finned friend at a local aquarium shop

I was prepared to be bored all the way to my prenatal gills when I visited The Fish Store in Ravenna. While I've never had an aquarium of my own, I lived with my sister and my 10-year-old nephew when he caught the fish bug. They put together a tank, which, over the years featured danios, plecostomuses and Oscars -- pretty standard freshwater fish plagued by unfortunately high mortality rates that took some of the fun out of what seemed to me an already low-thrills pursuit.
