| Darn You Fishloreans!
You're all contagus and should be quarantined immediately! LOL! Ok, maybe I should start with the whole story(and change you all to we all). I just got my first tank cycled and rescued a lovely betta boy who I've named Finneus Betta Fish (Fin), and on my way home from work I stopped at our local walmart to pick up some food for fin, and somehow wound up walking out with a brand new 5gal setup (and I just finished cycleing the 10!) and plans for a full blown betta sanctuary rolling through my deluded mind! Ok, ok, so I'm not actually complaining. I'm enjoying every minute of it. Fish keeping has given me something that I haven't had in over a decade, true peace and relaxation, and something to truly engage my mind (there's always something to research!). I really want to thank everyone for being so supportive and helpfull, and sharing your knowledge with those of us who are just discovering this endlessly facinating hobby. And Lucy: I just love your cat-quarium pic! |

| we are MORE than happy to enable MTS, especially when it comes to betta babies!  don't worry, before long you'll have a whole room full of boys and girls (like all 11 of mine, lol) | |

| I'm honestly plotting how to re-inforce the three shelves on my wall that combined could prolly hold, 24-30 2.5 gal hexes. Unfortunately that would also mean I'd have to figure out a way to steal power from the rest of the house without burning it down 'cause my room only has 1 outlet. And don't even get me started on what I'd put in the kitchen if my roomie'd let me get away with it.(400gal reef anyone?) | |

| lol, extension cords are your best friend, and so are surge protectors

| I know what you mean. You walk in to your local store with intent of buying something so miniscule like fish food and you end up buying a whole new setup or piece of equipment. In my situation I'm eyeing a new bio cube for SW. | |

| Hehe, my Roomie's are slowly being over run with tanks.
I set my big tank up upstairs. Mostly b/c my tiny little room is swamped down here. However I'm moving into a new apartment next month... and I'll have to figure out what to do with all of the tanks then... | |
