I have a Beta...when I was at Colorado State University the guys down the hall put 2 male Betas in the 4 different toilet bowls and bet on who would kill who first. It was pretty sick.

i have fifty goldfish, a sea anenome, a crawdad, and an angelfish as big as my head
============================

One day, a blonde takes her car into the repair shop because she says it's been acting weird lately. The repair man works on the car, and after a while he comes out and says 'Well, I've found your car's problem.'
The blonde asks 'So what was wrong with it?'
The repair man answers, 'Oh, nothing serious, just shit in the carborator.'
The blonde says, 'Okay, how often do I have to do that?'

when i was little i had fish,
they were cool.
They one that i picked out from the store wasnt
too smart. It would take a shit, swim in a circle,
and then eat its own shit,
I named him trash can,
he was the first fish to die,
i looked for a nother fish like trash can,
but never found one quite the same

I have like 10 empty 20 gallon tanks downstairs just sitting there because me and my bro used to have tons of animals in them. Such as geckos, lizards, newts, salamanders, fish, numerous frogs, toads, skinks (blue tailed), anoles, tarantula, scorpions.

nice man, i got into fish this past summer. i bought one of those clown knifes and they're suppose to get as big as your leg.

my guy is fucking huge now. i jsut dropped 100 goldfish in the tank and he is jsut eating them up. it's amazing to see how much he's matured. when i first bought him he was 4 inches or so. now he's well over a foot and he's developed some awesome hunting skills.

he heards the goldfish now. and then lets them kick it together for a little. then he swoops in and makes them all scatter. then he picks them off one at a time. it's fucking rad.

anyway here is my tank set ups:

75 gallon with 1 clown knife; 1 jack dipsee cichlid; 2 black convict cichlids; 1 needle nose; 1 plecostomus; 50 gold fish (food).

55 gallon with 2 african cichlids; 1 black molly; 3 chinese algea eaters; 1 plecostomus; 50 gold fish (food).

20 gallon with 2 clown loaches; 4 neon tetra; 1 white tetra; 2 gold fish; 2 chinese algea eaters.

10 gallon with 1 male beta; 1 female beta; 1 chinese algea eater; 7 zebra tetra; 1 male gourami.

all of my tanks (except the 10) have live plants in them, so the herbavours always have food and the landscape is always changing.


you should also buy an auto feeder. it cuts down on the time you have to spend messing with the tanks and your fish will heard around the area the food drops when they're hungry.

to cut down on cleaning time buy plecos AND chinese algea eaters for the big tanks. and just chinese algea eaters for the smaller ones. also buy an external water filter they seem to help a shit load more than the filters that go under the gravel. and you won't have tubes coming up on the sides.

damhn, how much money did you drop on all that? my brother spent well over 100 for just his 40 gallon tank and the shit to keep it running. not to mention the extra filter (one broke), 10-15 fish, and tons of rocks and shit.

cost plenty of cash. jsut the food alone is $12 for 100 gold fish....12x52=yr of food. it's almost like feeding your dog; except things die.

I have a 20 gallon with 2 angelfish, some tetras, some catfish, and a pleco, and a 5 gallon saltwater tank with nothing but some rock and tiny crabs in it now.

My aim with the tiny saltwater tank is to build an awesome reef tank without the cost, because on average they cost like $500 a foot, and I don't have that kind of money. The crabs act as a sort of natural filter so I don't need a protein skimmer or a filter, it's pretty sweet... I might be getting a clownfish or a shrimp to put in there today.

My tanks are pretty small because I live in a dorm, though. I'm getting a house next year though...

today, i bought some driftwood, 3 live plants, a clown knife (small, like 5 inches?) and a ploypterus (6 inches?), for $15 each. already the clown knife annihilated one tuppy (like a guppy or something, i dunno. thats what they told me to feed them). the other 5 fish are just chillin, stayin out of those big fishes way. i also bought a pleco. i gotta figure out how to keep the stupid feeder food alive though, dead food sucks.

that's why I have a freshwater tank. you really don't have to clean it often at all. I just gotta find a way to keep the live food alive, until they get eaten.
