I thought it would be neat to see the trend of who are interested in fish and aquatic plants. If you have the time, fill out the poll.
thanks

i'll do another one for age group.

I thought there were more women in the hobby.

I'm pretty sure most are guys. There was a thread about it over at APC a while ago.

So girls can't be intrested in anything other that what color angelina jolies nails are today?

I'm a little surprised by the lack of women as well, there need to be more girls in this hobby.

Girls can and should, but when it comes to the internet... most girls just aren't into things that don't revolve drunk celebrities, facebook, and relationship advice

You just hang out with the wrong crowd. Most of the women I know have more depth than that.

I just think it's the guys with too much time on their hands = aquariums
They do say it is therapeutic as well...and guys probably do have more issues than women that they don't have an outlet for...just a thought

This is starting to get a bit sexist, so let's keep on topic and try to refrain from offending comments

?

Though I'm sure after a few days of people logging into the site and checking the lounge, the numbers may even out a bit, so it's no so much of a land slide :]. It's only been a few hours since it got posted, right :P?
