Re: Few new fish for the 21G

That sounds like a fair deal to me. I suggest you be money smart which I've
never grasped. Learn young my friend! I can blame it on everything but my own stupidity! LOL!

by **kizno1** Sun 28 Nov 2010 - 18:39

Im normally aright with it i just spend way to much on fish Poke

by **2tall** Sun 28 Nov 2010 - 18:56

Could be worse things to spend money on. Once you settle into your stocking
and have no more room in your tanks it'll be just maintenance and food. Maybe
equipment repairs and the such.

Thats how it should work but i always get there then decide i want to change something and before i know it ive changed everything lol. Nah i pretty set on what i want in both the tanks so hopefully it will work like that.

by **2tall** Sun 28 Nov 2010 - 19:13

Theres so much to choose from and the theres the availability issue too.
If they don't have it when you want its hard to go home empty handed!
It can be a tug of war at times I'm sure.

Start a fish trading club with people you trust. See what you like when you get them home! Maybe a 30 day limit. LOL!

by **kizno1** Sun 28 Nov 2010 - 19:30

Yeah thats exactly it rather that waiting for what i want if its not there i normally spot something else and get it then end up changing it once theother fish come in.

Haha. I dont know many people that keep fish around here.

by **2tall** Sun 28 Nov 2010 - 21:25

I guess you'll just have to learn to resist more. I see fish I'd like to bring home every time I go looking. I know! Stop looking!

by **kizno1** Sun 28 Nov 2010 - 21:36

Im going to try and stick to the plan from now on but never know.

by **2tall** Sun 28 Nov 2010 - 21:44

Envision another tank and pretend to stock it with what you see at the times you're in the store. Maybe that will satisfy some of your urges!

by **kizno1** Sun 28 Nov 2010 - 22:09

Haha. Wish i could but i think my mum would go nutty.

by **2tall** Sun 28 Nov 2010 - 23:00

I meant an imaginary tank with the fish you saw at the store. That way you
could have an ever changing tank without the tank.

It'll be awhile before you convince your Mum of another one. The 150gl. counts for at least two if not three tanks! Gotta admit that was good of her to go for the 150gl. Not your average tank as you know!

by **kizno1** Sun 28 Nov 2010 - 23:06

Oh haha tat could work.

Yeah. Im suprised she let me have it if im honest and the 21G on top of that aswell.

by **2tall** Sun 28 Nov 2010 - 23:42

Well I'm sure she knows by now how dedicated you are to the hobby and its not
a fly by night interest. If she thought there was a chance of that she'd would've
never said yes in the first place.

Small update the tanks hit a disaster and ive lost 4 Pearl danios, 4 Harlequin rasbora, 5 Badis badis, 1 Akysis and 3 Upside down catfish there have been no signs of illness at all they have just been dropping of. Im now only lets with 6 Akysis, 1 Garra ruffa, 1 Badis badis, 2 Harlequin rasbora and 4 Pearl danios. Ive sort of given up on keeping this tank because of loosing this many fish for no clear reason. Once ive had no deaths for 2 weeks im going to sell of anything left.

by **2tall** Wed 15 Dec 2010 - 5:24

There has to be reason even if its not apparent at the moment. Otherwise
there would not be wholesale deaths between species IMO. Sorry it
happened Kiz. I'm sure you'll get it sorted out somehow and figure out wht actually happened.

by **kizno1** Wed 15 Dec 2010 - 16:04

Cheers. Its just a pain it happened now once i was happy with all the stocking and was just going to keep things ticking over with wc ect and then this happens.
