Thinking about this all wrong. How much do coral supplements cost? $25 for a small bottle of aminos? Fish are fertilizer. And they last years! $25 fish is a great deal for growing those corals and making the big $$$$!

Oh, and my wife was standing next to me when I bought this last one. She walked by me and said "What part of when I said 'This has to stop's yesterday meant buy another fish today?"

My answer, "Hey, you're the one that suggested that we go to Petco"

Apparently she thought that was code for "let's get out of the heat" and not "why don't we go buy a fish"...

Do what I did, buy a 150cc scooter, an entire year full coverage and gear replacement is less than that. Think of the gas savings too!!!

Bad problem is I can't strap the kids too it. :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
I did this in my early 20s rode it for 2 years to work lol was able to buy a very good car after saving !

You're still young! Wait until you're married and everything becomes "ours" instead of "mine". It's cool that your dad shares the hobby with you though!

Awww come on that’s only 10 gallons. I have a 22 gallon cube (unfortunately not empty) that would work great for a slurpee….

Better yet bottle the fish poop water and call it ”All Natural Aquarium Coral Fertilizer”

When I go to PetCo for the fro food my wife asks what fish I bought when I get home every time….
‘Admittedly I’ve only come home fishless like only once …
