He tried to tell me I should put the female kenyi in the 5 gallon tank for her to release the babies today... I went through the roof!! I said there was no way in H... that I would put that kenyi mother through sitting in a 5 gallon tank nor her babies! I also explained to him that a 5 gallon tank is only good for one thing, a betta tank.
Then he made the remark that its going to ad to my water change regimin.. so what? I have a python I said its not like it takes me forever to do.
There, I got my at least 29-40 for her and her babies...

he he... I got it going so I nudged it a bit further... oh.. but I didn't have to say anything! he said that he was going to go under the house and re-enforce the flooring for me (we live in a double-wide) and if i could size down my computer desk he would get a 90g-100g tank for me for the mbunas...

Ahh.. but me I have to keep pushing and I did... and if you know him and his gun collection I get my way by throwing it up since fish has been my only true hobby in the 8 years we have been married....

I am also getting a nano reef... that one took a little pushing... he started arguing about that one.. about where I was wanting a south american tank and when I said that I would need a RO unit for a Discus tank and how expensive that would be... he agreed w/ the nano reef...

So I talked my husband into 3 tanks....
Tommorow, I am going to show him the pond stuff on craigslist (seriously!) somone has a nice set of ponds 3 graduated w/ waterfall and 2 pumps... I would then take my mil's squashed goldfish and put them in it... (only 75 for the whole setup!) He will like the idea because it will be less mowing and make the yard look better...

Poor hubby has lost his wife to the fish.

hey now its turkey season here and he had 2 days off work and hes been gone both days.. its even trade! actually he gets into the fish too, he just don't want to clean tanks... I do all the work on them.. he's even scared to feed them because he might not feed them enough, or to much...
He just got 2 guns this year.. and he is wanting a new muzzleloader, a new rifle, and a new bow for fall season.. thats the only reason he is going through w/ my new tanks...

Honestly.. my fishing season hasn't started yet.. every sat I go bass fishing w/ my mother from may-sept come rain/shine... we have done this for over 13years..(we do catch and release)
I have offered to go hunting w/ him this fall.. so if he will take me.. maybe we can spend some time together... (we do eat what we kill)

I could care less about hunting. My idea of hunting is heading to Publix and going 'Look at that steak!!!'. Now my SW tank is my main hobby. That and my computers. heh...

And welcome to the world of SW!! You'll find a lot of info in the SW section. Just take it nice and slow, think about anything that you're putting in the tank, post, post and post some more and you'll be fine!!

Thanks.. I will be going into the SW very slowly, and w/ a lot of research. I am so picky about my tanks that I don't want to go into this blindly. As soon as I get my tank picked out I will be researching my inhabitants.

LOL.. I hear that! I do my hunting/gathering with a shopping cart and a debit card.
