What's YOUR aquarium lie?

But it was really cheap…

 

[fishywoo]

I can't spend anymore.
*Spends more*
This is going to work. This time, it's going to work!
*It didn't work"
I'm not going to run into anymore problems!
*Runs face first into more problems*
This is the last plant...
That was the plant before the last plant, this one is the last plant... Before the next plant...

I will not set up any more tanks.

Yeah, right.

This is definitely the last time I’ll ask you if I can set up another fish tank.

"A 5 gallon is definitely big enough."
2 weeks later... "This 10 gal is surely enough."
6 month later... "Ok 20 gallons is my max!"
2 more years... "Do I go with the 40 or just skip to 75?"

"OK, I will go in, get the frozen food, and walk out. Short and simple trip."
*walks out 20 dollars less and with 5 leopard danios and a breeder box*

I think my LFS loves me lol

"Sure that 10 gallon can be torn down and put into storage..."

Week later..."Guess who laid eggs! Time for the 10 gallon tank again".

Now my school of Cardinal tetras is big enough….I don’t need any more.

This is definitely the last plan I am going to come up with.
2 weeks later I have come up with 9 more combinations of fish.

I have that problem too. Endless ideas but not enough time (or money) ( or space).

I keep fish in my Quarantine Tanks all the time ….”only”…..to keep the beneficial bacteria population healthy.

I ****only****keep tanks with my “absolute favorite” fish….my “must haves”.
*******interesting how my favorites have grown in number*******

My little lie: I hate fishes.

Now my school of Cardinal tetras is big enough….I don’t need any more.

Yea i'm trying to decide if my school of 25 needs a a few more - maybe 30 or 40 more.

How big is your tank? My 50 CTs in the 75g w 18 Green Neon Rasboras is a delight to watch

They are in a 100 blackwater aquarium - actually they were intended for a 200 gallon discus aquarium but came in too small - i might try moving them after they get larger.

 

[bgarthe]

Wow….2 huge tanks Considering the fact that I’ve become a fan of larger tanks w nano fish schools, it’s a no brainer. 40+ more for sure, and in a blackwater =s awesome.

A shrimp tank will definitely work this time...
