Any fishkeepers here?

the smell of vegetables cooking is a stinky one. i don't blame you there.

That and I only rarely get the itch to cook.

My Tiger barbs used to love the egg whites and peas. I'm going to try it (maybe this weekend) and let you guys know how it goes.

Has anybody ever gone to a fish store and done this? :

You walk into the fish store and spend a long time loking a certain spieces of fish. Buy a few of that spieces and just before you leave you ask the casheer:
" Say, these are good eatin' right?"

Before we moved to Florida we had a 75, 2-55's, and a couple 15 & 10 gallon tanks, all tropical. Would love to try salt water someday, but the expense and upkeeping do not fit into my budget or lifestyle just yet. We have been pricing tanks/equipment as we miss our fishys and would love to get back into the hobby (too bad I sold everything before the big move, we had quite a collection of equipment, guess we'll have to start over, but that's fun too!).

Yeah, I really enjoy the planning of species and decorating the tanks - same with the herps! Bet you can find some species at petstores in Florida that maybe you couldn't really get where you used to live.

I have a 30 gallon fish tank filled with, platies,rasboro hets,guppies (that i breed) neon and glowlight tetras a betta and a chinese butterfly algae eater. i used to have sword tails but i had to get rid of them becuase they would eat the babies.

I love the Harlequin Rasboras - my 55 has them, Cherry Barbs, Bristlenose Pleco, Boesmanis (sp?) Rainbow, Albino Corydora, Peppered Corydora (I think) and a neon Tetra. At one time we had 7 tanks going...now just down to the 1 - and it is really made up of all the fish left from the other tanks...on

i had a whole fishroom setup in my last appartment, and had to sell everything before i moved to florida. i used to have an awesome piranha shoal (caribe and terns), 2 huge bright red oscars, dwarf snakeheads, a rhom, a spilo, and a community tank.

i really want to get into saltwater, but this climate is way better for reptiles . . . and they fit way better into my budget also.

i kinda wanted an oscar and i REALLY want salt water but my parents said no to both becuase i already have 6 tanks filled with differnt stuff in my room

I have a 40 gallon octogan tank with:
1 bubblegum parrot (big and PINK)
1 algae eater (sp?)
5 tiger barbs
1 african chichlid
2 rosefire barbs
1 spotted green puffer
2 midas barbs
and one other I forget the name of...
We used to have a butterfly fish, but the poor guy jumped...
He was one cool fish.

Well, after having FW tanks since I was 10 and breeding guppies, platys, mollies and bettas, I got into SW tanks. I still have bettas (3 at the moment) and a 5g FW tank going. I also have a 10g reef tank, and a 30g fish only tank w/ live rock at the moment. I'm going to be putting seahorses and pipefish in the 30g once I can get some time! The thing with SW is the initial cost. After that it costs no more than a fresh water tank to maintain. All I do to my SW tanks is a water change every week and to off the tank with FW every day. It's not that hard to do
