Tropical Fish Tank

What a lovely sight it is to see all the fish in there Wonderful creatures swimming about everywhere Large ones and small ones graceful as they move They are swimming around with nothing to prove The Hypostomus plecostomus adheres to the glass Cleaning the tank not letting any algae pass Colourful clashes of many tropical creatures Blending in nicely with all the tanks features Red tailed sharks, Angel fish and Guppies too Relaxing to watch them and the things they do Aquarium plants sway gently going with the flow Bubbles full of air up to the top they go A community of fish are living and survive There are no real predators so they stay alive Feeding and swimming in their own special way Creating their own young so they will always stay Ornamental coloured pebbles lay on the bottom Plecky is still cleaning up so nothing goes rotten How wonderful it is to see all the fish share Every last bit of food and bubbles of air Brilliant lighting and coloured bubbles rise They feed from the food a sprinkled surprise Characters abundant each fish has its own From a tiny fish fry oh how they have grown

Watching fish in a tank is always soothing. I had some fish in a small tank when I was a child and later had two turtles. When these grw to big, we gave them to a small zoo. They are still there. Thank you for your comment on Atacama. Deserts are somehow fascinating places. I especially love the change of colours at dawn. Love, Gert

It has been said that staring at a fish tank can bring down a person's blood pressure. Your wonderful poem endows the reader with not only beautiful images, but a sense of tranquility as well, Pamela. Very nice! Love, Carolyn

We can learn a thing or two from observing this fish tank can't we. Love the topic and the way that you put it together. Sara
