Hello and Welcome All!

tan.b · January 29th, 2007

thanks atmmachine! he's nearly convinced i think! my birthday isnt too far off....so lots of heavy hints and pointing them out should help!! the kids are about hooked i think..they rush down stairs to turn the tank light on and give the fish their breakfast and count them (do register like at school!!), so we're nearly all on the same side!! hubby was looking at a bristlenose thing (sorry...is it a plec? u know what i mean anyway..), and asking me if we can have one of those... so he's showing an interest! by next yr house will be wall to wall with tanks in every room!! (well ...if i win lottery anyway!)

I've had alot of experience with that problem u have to bribe be nice to them and do the dishes ect. after about 2 weeks of being nice asking politely and still offer to pay for them but that may not work well but if u r nice enough i think that u will and try to convince them

Hi everyone. I hope i am in the right place to intro myself. We are Mike and Monica and we live in Iowa. We have two cats,We also have a Lutino Oscar (Peaches) w/ 4 Silver Dollars ( zoom zoom,36,38,39,)named aafter the Patriots winning Super Bowls in a 135 gallon and we have a 29 gallon with assorted mollies platties and swordtails and fry which we dont name because we raise and use them as feeder treats for our O.We found this site after having been treated rather rudely on another site,and hope our experience here will be different.

Hello Everyone! My name is Jennifer, and I live in, currently dreary/cold, Ohio. I've had tropical fish for about 15-20 years, and am just getting back into them after a 5 year break. I hope to get to know everyone here, and share in some knowledge of our beautiful finned friends.

Jennifer
