This topic was suggested by someone and it got me thinking as to if males or females tend to like this hobby better. Females having a less aggressive nature and with males being the opposite. When I look at my tank all my aggression or any aggression that I had just goes away. So maybe females like this hobby more?
I'm not usually bothered by the gunky side of aquarium maintenance. And I think fish are beautiful and relaxing. Of course, I also think reptiles and hairless cats are pretty, too, which my sister loves to tell me is really weird.
But I do notice, when visiting any of the lfs nearby, that most the employees and patrons are male. And I always get that confused surprised look when they realize that I'm not just looking or there with someone else, and that I do know what I'm talking about (...usually. And sometimes more so than they do, unfortunately).
Well I definitely do all the planning and maintenance with my tank but it's husband funded and we both enjoy watching it lol
We decided what to get together, I listed options for him to look at lol
We each picked an angelfish too!
Oh he always sucks on the hose for water changes haha
My husband tolerates my tanks, stresses when work sends me out of town for a week (he does not want fish deaths while they are under his care) rolls his eyes when I get excited about a new fish magazine and likes watching the one I put by his computer. But his biggest joy about my hobby is that it keeps me busy on Sundays so he can watch football in peace.
maybe more of us like spending time doing other stuff and dont enjoy the simplicity of an aquarium?
i think men are also more likely to spend money on toys
