Leader "Wait for me. Ukraine "(Inter) Anatoly Bondarenko appreciates the comfort and creates it not only at home, but also at work. His cabinet, for example, is decorated with a large fish tank.

Fish and all-all-everything - Love to fish from my childhood, - says the presenter. - In my school years I kept an aquarium. When he joined the army, my mother took care of its inhabitants. I hoped that I would return and watch for myself my fish. And it happened. True, not for long. I entered the university, moved to live in a hostel. Fish were distributed, the aquarium was taken to the attic. But this adolescent fascination quite accidentally returned to me many years later.

The aquarium in the cabinet on "Inter" appeared very long ago, in 2001. Then, by the new season, the TV channel decided to remove a series of short interprogram rollers for 5-10 seconds with different animals. About each preparing a separate video. Invited people with pets, among which were not only cats and dogs, but also turtles, snakes, mice - who were not there! Only goldfish was missing. But there were no people willing to give us a "lease". Fish should be carried in some kind of container, it will have nothing to breathe - in general, continuous difficulties. So I had to send the program administrators to the Bird Market. They bought the most beautiful fish they had just found: large, with a bright tail - valeletht called. They brought it in a three-liter jar.

When the videos were filmed, all the animals were taken home, and the fish was left. Where to put her? I still remember this picture: there is a trash can, three-quarters full of water, and our valechvost floats in it. I ask: "Why so mock the living being? Whose fish? ". They explained to me that it was a draw, that nobody wanted it, and I decided to take it to myself.

Dad, thank you!.

Housing ward for a long time did not have to - in the garage dusted the very same, from my childhood, an old aquarium for 30 liters. He brought it to the office, put the filter on, connected the lighting, planted the algae and ran a fish there. She was so happy! As if she wanted to say: "Daddy, thank you! I was sitting in the trash can, and here such a beautiful aquarium - through the glass I see everything that is happening in the world! ". (Laughs). ) That's how I floated to myself in the aquarium, ate, grew. And one day "says" to me: "I'm alone in this aquarium, somehow I'm sad". Honestly, I've been thinking for a long time about buying her a friend. I went to the Birdie and bought. After a while I see - this couple again wants something from me, as if saying: "We are cramped, we want to expand. Maybe they would have brought the children, but there is not enough room in one-room apartment: you do not have time to wave your fins and you are already bumping your nose into the wall ". I went again to the market - behind the aquarium. I talked to the guys-sellers and found out that they themselves make aquariums. We agreed that I would bring them glass, and they would make me a new house for fish. Just at this time, "Inter" was doing repairs and dismantled the old doors with thick glass - 6 mm thick. Several pieces, it is true, broke. And what was left, I took and soon received a new luxury aquarium for 120 liters.

He stands at me still, wanders from floor to floor, from office to office. In it there live small fishes and please the soul. Colleagues admit that sometimes they come to my office to simply learn.

The trio Marenich Those voylehvosts, from which it all began, of course, no - they grew old and went to heaven. I replaced them with cichlids - they are also called red or golden parrots. Unique fish, very easy to care for. But they have one feature - they do not give offspring. That is, they give, but this requires special conditions that are not easy to create: you need a constant temperature in the aquarium and aeration, a certain acidity of the water in which they grow in nature. And when the eggs are laid, along with it, they must be moved to a separate aquarium, so that other fish do not eat future offspring. In general, everything is so complicated that in Ukraine cichlids do not breed - they are imported already by fry from East Asia, from Vietnam, so they are quite expensive.

I have three red parrots in the aquarium. Do you know how I called them?.

The trio Marenich - Valera and his girlfriends Tonia and Sveta. The company they are several antsistrusov and blue fish - pseudotrofeus demasoni.

Fortunately, they do not require special care. Even if I need to go on a business trip, do not be scared: before this I clean the filters, my aquarium and leave the fish food to my colleagues. They can only pour it from time to time and add a little water, because it evaporates.

All help me with great pleasure. Still - they know that you can come to my fish and make a wish. We must admit that our main dream has come true. (Laughs). ) The team of the project "Wait for me" has always wanted to have its own studio, because the first inclusions from Ukraine lasted only 5 minutes, on the street. And in 2008 she appeared! But there is still a desire. For example, that the program had more interesting and bright stories with a good ending.
