Hi guys


just wondering anyone else got fishes? I love em nice and relaxing only got 2 small tanks at the moment though. Hoping to expand when I get a house,


Got a lil 35litre tropical with a neon and a few barbs. needs restocking just got rid of my red tailed shark as he ate the other fish(gone to a bigger tank)


and a 60 litre marine which is quite new(5months) just put in sand and a new power head only got 2 shrimp in at the moment will hopefully be getting some fish soon.


Its quickly becoming a hobby. Ill take some pics later if anyone is interested
 
I managed to kill a bonsaï (I kept him a bit more than a year), lately I even nearly killed a succulent plant.


So animals are banned

Meh, plants are harder to keep than animals sometimes. Pets let you know when they are unhappy, plants not so much. Besides, who cares if you kill a hamster, they are training wheel pets for a reason. You can't get a dog unless you can successfully care for a lesser pet who was going to die soon anyway. :lol:
 
I seriously thought this was going to be about a cooling fan from thinkgeek with blades shaped like fish.


I got one of those fake aquarium lamps at a garage sale for $3. It's so awesome, and low maintenance too.

I think it's going to go very well with my lava lamp and plasma ball, but I don't have room for it yet.

I had baby guppies few months ago all were eaten quickly except one who evaded the bigger fish for about 3 weeks before they found him :-(

Well, I also got 2 water turtles in an aquarium with some Guppys.


And I also got a second aquarium at work with quite a few various fishes.


My girlfriend got a gecko and a snake (rainbow boa).
 
Did she name her gecko Gex?

I had a small lizard long ago, sadly he was pretty short lived. (looks like I'm fated to kill living things one year after I've bought them)


It was a green anole, a friend of mine gave him the name Gex.


If I was a bit more careful with plants and animal, I would probably buy again one of those small lizards.


It was fascinating watching him hunt the little insects!

Both very nice! I especially like the bamboo in the first (I like bamboo, I don't know why). I didn't know that you could put bamboo in a tank like that. Is that salt water? I guess not because the bamboo wouldn't like it. I like it when people put plant life in their aquariums, it seems to add a lot character to the tank.
