Dream come true?

I may be sleeping. Its possible that I'm dreaming. A good friend came over, with a chocolate milkshake no less (supports the dreaming idea) and says one of his family members is GIVING away a 100gal tank, plus all of the supplies. Heater filter Everything! Then asks if I want it. I might have cried a little. If I didnt have a milkshake still as proof I would still think I'm dreaming. If this happens for real I really might cry. I would pay the pet deposit my landlord would charge me for a tank like that. I would post about it on facebook but my friends just say ive turned into the crazy fish lady, but I know people here would understand. :-D now yes its not mine... Yet... But if it does I'm gonna need help. Ill have a paper bag on hand for the hyperventilating that will occur. What do you even do with a tank that size? I better go look at fish... Hehehe!

 

I can relate! Seven tanks in (and not looking for more) someone at work says "I know that you like fish, so I'm selling......" Hence a year ago, no saltwater experience AT ALL, I purchased a Nano Reef. We all preach "research before you buy" but sometimes circumstances just present themselves, and you go with your instinct. Which is a LOVE for the hobby. Every aquarist started from zero no matter their experience today. Will livestock suffer? Maybe... But most of the time it is not in vain. Ignorance does not equate stupidity or irreverence. I'm crying and hyperventilating with you Witchy! If you have the room, I'm with you though the whole process! Godspeed!

 

Congratulations! I am standing by to enjoy every inch of your new tank vicariously. Don't forget yo share details

 

I reeeeeaaallly hope its true. Is it sad that even though its a huge tank I would be more interested in one big fish than a community? Lol

 

No, we what fish?

 

Like an oscar or a jack dempsey. Something big and pretty lol

 

My 90 gallon just has one Oscar. She doesn't want company or decoration. My 40 gallon was cycled with BA tetras for ONE JD ciclid. A year later, all the tetras swim merrily with the JD. I don't even entertain putting anyone else in there.

 

I really wouldnt mind having just a single fish. I like communities but I have always wanted an oscar

 

Would a flowerhorn work in a 100gal?

You thoroughly enjoy it! Congratulations! !! What a great friend! What flavor was the milkshake?!

He/she would LOVE a 100 gallon. Did you hear any more today?

 

Would a flowerhorn work in a 100gal?

Yep. Riv has Gossimor in something similar.

 

Wow witchy that's great!!! a flowerhorn would be amazing in a 100 gal. I've always wanted a single flowerhorn to so I can understand just one big fish that acts like a puppy and gets alllll the attention in that tank, love it

 

Didnt hear anything today, he called me but it was only to say he was coming by tommorrow instead of today (I managed to get a mild case of food poisoning from that chocolate milkshake UGH) so tommorrow ill ask

 

a 100 gallon would work great for a flower horn, Gossimor loves his 90 gallon, plenty of swimming room for his 14 inch body.

 

They are the list of potentials Would it be ok to have a pleco or snails in there as well?

 

Ok my friends family member is a truck driver and will be on the road til friday so I won't know until then. I will endure to wait patiently.

We're all waiting with you for this bit of serendipity!

 

Patience... I will not plan the scape... I will stop making potential stock lists... Or prename the fish... I will stop dreaming of a huge betta sorority...

 

We're dreaming vicariously through you. No pressure......

 

I hope you get the tank! A 100 gallon would really be a dream come true. *swoons*

 

Lol. At this point I'm dreaming vicariously through myself lol

 

Wow! Can't even imagine! So excited to hear/see what u do with it!!!!

 

I'm just hoping there's a stand that comes with it. Otherwise setup won't happen for quite a while.

 

Dream crushed :-( someone else claimed it literally 45 minutes before my friend got there :-( Oh well. Cant technically miss what didnt have

 

Oh no!!! I'm sorry... Maybe it just wasn't ment to be.. maybe next time

 

But I am getting a new tank stand. And he brought another friend with him this last time that's very into fish tanks that likes to collect interesting pieces of driftwood. I have decided we have to be friends lol. :-D
