Our Fishes


We rear fishes at home. Monte started it a few years ago. Before it came to being, he read a lot on how to set up a fish tank, the water preparation, the types of fishes, the filtering system, the rocks and many other details. Often times I will jokingly tell people who come by our home that Monte can pass off as a home aquarium consultant. As a hobby, rearing fishes is therapeutic.

Sometimes when a plague strikes we end up loosing many fishes. We have replenished fishes over time. Usually when the fishes lose their hunger, we know that they are unwell. Drawing on this, when we lose our hunger for the word of God; we have no desire to draw near to the Lord in prayer and worship. This is very often an indication of some spiritual 'ailments' which need immediate attention.
