People are getting creative with what they're using during their meetings—from New York Public Library's beautiful interiors and exteriors to various scenes from popular shows that fans are bringing to their screens.

Don't make it too fishy in Volusia County - Hometown News Don't make it too fishy in Volusia County - Hometown News Posted: 30 Jul 2020 10:00 AM PDT Respect for Fish Day is Aug. 1, a national awareness event to encourage kindness towards fish. Fish like other pets can suffer when neglected and live contented lives when cared for properly. Many people have pet fish, said Barry KuKes, Community Outreach Director at Halifax Humane Society. "They name their fish and bring them special treats. Fish, especially the salt water variety, can be very expensive and a large investment." But can fish be musically inclined?

I was in panic mode. I had inherited this tank a few years ago and didn't know a whole lot about it or its 35 or so colorful residents. For months I had paid a guy to regularly clean the aquarium and take care of other fish issues.
