If You Could........

[Shawnie]

Within reason of course, because we know us fishlovers have an expensive budget in our "dream world"

WHAT WOULD YOU ASK YOUR SIG OTHER FOR VALENTINES DAY?

I'm curious as this has been a subject of debate and ive actually asked my bf who goes all out, to either take me to dinner or get a me a nice gift certificate to my LFS!! (he spends way way way too much on roses that are beautiful and appreciated, but don't last)

 

[CHoffman]

A whole day and night out!!!..It would be great to go somewhere for the day have fun doing whatever we want, dinner, movie, shopping (going to the fish store kind of shopping) Then get a nice Hotel with a hot tub and pool and a bar and have a nice night without kiddos!!!...This won't happen but it's a nice thought..I'll probably get a hug and a kiss, tell me what a great wife and mom I am,,( Which I am..lol..)and a nice card..Which is more then enough to keep me happy, because he's a good guy..Now, if he were a jerk I'd be asking for diamonds..lol..

 

[Lucy]

Oh wow.......I wouldn't ask for things.....ok, maybe a hood, heater gravel and ornaments for one of my 30's.......but besides that I'd rather he go down my honey do list and complete some much needed projects.

nice!!!!!!! even if it won't happen, its nice to think about it isn't it

I'm hoping this spring we will have a hot tub...but not at the cost of giving up a tank LOL ..which was my option last year

 

[bettafish2816]

a 30 gallon hex and a pair of koI angels! if she was loaded with lots and lots of money to spare, i'd ask for a 125 gallon for a pair of oscars........lol.......

 

[Martinismommy]

To encourage me to buy a pair of royal blue/white halfmoon butterfly bettas! lol

 

[Red1313]

A way I can bring all those poor abused Petland betta girls home... but I'll settle for a fishsitter while I'm out of the country this spring.

 

[Shawnie]

great ideas!!!!

ahem red..where you goin ? to visit us crazies? ;D

 

[Matt]

I am not sure

I am only 13. LOL.

[Nick G]

Let me buy a 200gal and a Jaguar Cichlid, but there's no chance of that as I've been told many, many times.................

 

[Iron waffle]

I don't know, some kind of farm animal I guess.

she must not be into fish as much as you are I take it? because ID LOVE FOR MY BF to offer this to me! ;D

 

[sticky fish]

I'd ask for a day of spending quality time together and another 5 gallon hex tank... I want another puffer!

 

[Nick G]

She likes the fish, but not the money I spend on them!

 

[Amanda]

If I had a signifigant other, lol...
I'd really want a 75 gal. tank for 2 oscars.

 

[Mike19]

She likes the fish, but not the money I spend on them!

You better watch out, spending more money on this fish then the wife my cause disaster down the track , just say its for her that way you spend the money on fish for your wife

 

[aquatic mouse]

A 3 gallon eclipse tank for a future beta. Which I'm probably getting!

 

[Amanda]

rofl.
Is there anyone on this forum who doesn't have at least one betta?!
I think that the Betta Bug should be a classifiable disease, listed as VERY contagious.

 

[aquatic mouse]

Amanda, this will actually be my first betta! Can you believe it? My husband has had them before. I saw Martinismommy's pics of her babies and heard how social they are. I'm really hoping she breeds them again in the spring.

 

[Amanda]

I hope she breeds her beautiful boy Patron....then I'll have to find some $$ to buy one & get it shipped to my house.
It really is a disease!

 

[Nick G]

I don't even like looking at pics of Martinsmommys Bettas. It makes me SO jealous. You can't get anything even approaching their beauty over here. I shudder to think what people here would pay for them.

 

[Amanda]

I could make a FORTUNE shipping fish to NZ. lol

 

[Nick G]

Over here Bettas come in 3 colours. Red, Blue, or Dirty Yellow. Or Red..............

I don't yet, I have the spare tank and everything, as soon as I see a white betta I'm buying it lol

 

[Amanda]

I can't find a red betta ANYWHERE.
I want a pure red betta, and for the life of me, can't find one.

 

[Nick G]

Heres one.......He's called Bailey. I'll swap him for a JD!

How tempting that offer is. There were around 4 juvie JD's at my LFS last time I was there.

 

[Red1313]

just trying to help the MTS along....

 

[pinkfloydpuffer]

Maybe I'd ask for a significant other...
Yes, I'm a bit bitter around this time of year. Yes, I'm so sick and tired of being single. Yes, I hate being lonely and being *almost* 20 and still living at home and going on like one date a year. I guess my weirdness is just too much for the boys to handle.
Anyways, shut up me! Enough whining!

I never thought of Valentine's as a day for presents... I just always thought a few roses or a box of chocolates, lol. But hey, some people get presents for Easter too, which I'd never heard of, we just got candy lol.

 

[Nick G]

Don't feel bitter Pink! Your not missing much, my wife won't be getting anything either!

 

[pinkfloydpuffer]

Well, I just don't like Valentine's day, that's all. Maybe when I actually get to celebrate one properly then I'll like it...

 

[Mike19]

haha, I'm sure your puffers have something arranged lol

 

[pinkfloydpuffer]

haha, I'm sure your puffers have something arranged lol

Aaaaaawwww! lol! I hope so. They are my pride and joy after all ;D
Hm... that makes me think... what should I do for them for Valentine's Day?

 

[Noahkm18]

I would ask her to pick a restraunt that dosent drain me out of 100 dollars to eat some sushi.

 

[Mike19]

[pinkfloydpuffer]

Hey, I'm doing all I can! lol! But I'm pretty sure it'll be done next week...
Oh, I know, I'll give them a girlyfriend. Named Kiwi. ;D

 

[jgon_]

I want a pure red betta, and for the life of me, can't find one.

Wow, really? Pure red, pure blue, red/blue; are the most common ones to find in any petco/petsmart around here.

 

[Red1313]

My boyfriend hates Valintines day, his ex apparently broke up with him on it. Just means I need to be nicer to him that day.
