Aquarium at Sandy & Tim's

I would like to show you some of the individual fish in Sandy & Tim's aquariums. They are so beautiful. Of course, with Tim being a professional fisherman, these fish were not obtained by purchasing. They were carefully netted from the ocean. Tim has a 500 gallon (1,892 liter) water tank that he can put in the back of their boat. He uses this tank to periodically bring fresh salt water to the aquariums. Their aquariums are huge. The biggest one would be about 3m x 1m x 0.8m, which would not fit in an ordinary house in Japan.

サンディとティム家の熱帯魚を紹介しよう。もちろん、熱帯魚は綺麗ですが、何が違うというと、これすべて買ったのでなく、自分で海から取って来たものって言うのがすごいと思いました。又、水も海からの自分のボートの2000リットル入るタンクに入れて定期的に持って帰ってくるとの事。又、彼らの水槽も大きい。一番大きいので、3m x 1m x 0.8mぐらいのもので、日本の普通の家庭では考えられない大きさのものですね。
