I'm Getting An Aquarium
Yay. I've always hated high maintenence pets mainly because I'm lazy. Those pets would include dogs and cats. I like them, but I don't like caring for them, lol. Well anyways, for my brother's birthday a few years ago, he got a tropical fish aquarium. As well, I got a few siamese fighting fish as a gift a few years ago, so I got sorta into the hobby. As my fish died about 2 years later, it never really occurred to be to get replacements. Recently, I've started to get back into the hobby and just bought 2 new siamese fighting fish a few weeks ago. My uncle "breeds" guppies in his spare time, so he has hundreds of really nice ones at his house. He said I could take some if I wanted, so I hit him up on the offer. I went to the pet store today, trying to find an affordable aquarium that fits into my budget (which is not a big one since school is starting up and I won't be working). Anyways, all of them were like $100+, including accessories and stuff, so I had no luck. Then I went online, searching through websites of some pet stores in my city, and I came upon a sale at a petstore across town, $50 for a complete 10 gallon aquairum starter set. It's perfect, fits in my budget perfectly, and since the fish will be free, that's all I have to worry about. So, hopefully in the next few days I'll nag my parents to give me a ride there (it's like a 35 minute drive away, sucks that it's across town from where I live) and buy it. w00t. Anyways, I'm excited right now.

cool that you're getting an aquarium... you can finally tell those infoers who didn't like your bowls to shove it.

Update.. I bought the aquarium last night, and I soaked it in water, along with gravel overnight to get rid of any gunk/ dust/ crap. This morning I rinsed everything out, filled the tank 3/4 of the way with conditioned water and am currently letting it cycle a bit. I went to my uncle's place and fished home a bunch of guppies. They're living in an ice cream pail as a temporary home while their permanent home is being prepared. After I let it cycle overnight, I'll put in the decorations and then put the guppies in. Yay.

lol you're so passionate about your fish... I used to have a freakin awesome fish and he lived for like two years in my room, he rocked.

The Imploding Voice- 09-07-2005

lol you're so passionate about your fish... I like fish. They're gorgeous, and I just love watching them while listening to music, or doing homework or when I can't sleep. It's much easier to care for than say a dog or a cat, and it makes me feel like I've accomplished something when I see the fish happy.
