Definitely. Unfortunately, the barb didn't have a hit TV show making him $2 million a year.

Oh, wait. Charlie Sheen doesn't either.

Water changes last night, been spendin' 3 or 4 hours in the fishroom every evening: cleaning, planning and rearranging the decor in the empty tanks more than anything. Gettin' it just so. That relaxes me.

Hopefully the legal B.S. I'm goin' through will be done this week, so that the financial uncertainty that has been hangin' over my head the past year and a half will finally be done and I can start actually acquirin' the fish I want and the equipment to replace what I know needs upgraded. Some of the 20+ year old equipment I have is just tired and needs to be put to rest.

lol


Sounds good Ivan! Good luck with the BS

Thanks Dawg. It's settled, as of yesterday. The attorneys are drawin' up the paperwork. I'll feel better when it's signed, sealed and filed with the court, though. After 17 years I have no reason to trust the opposing party. Fortunately my daughter is almost an adult in the eyes of the law.

Good luck, glad to hear all the BS is almost aside. I bet you and your family will rest easier in a couple weeks. Keep pushing and moving forward. And you got to get another camera or I am going to get donations to get you one to get us pics of that damn room!

It's done. Just waitin' to sign the agreement. The daughter got all riled up again and came Saturday and moved all her stuff out. Time to let it go and let her grow-up and realize everything isn't so clearly black and white. Balls in her court now, she'll be back when she's ready. Figure when she's away from her mother in another coupla years and starts gettin' a dose of the real world she'll come around. Until then, its best for my youngest that the B.S. stays at a minimum. She's had a helluva time with the whole mess.

So, I'm fallin' back into the African rift again... . Or . Can't decide. LOL. Latest acquisitions: a venustus, a brichardi, two six inch Labeotropheus fuelleborni (one is a simply beautiful deep metallic blue), a golden puffer (Auriglobus modestus), seven scarlet badis (have my fingers crossed that the shipment wasn't males-only and I can get a coupla pairs, the guy at the shop was sure it wasn't a males-only shipment), and a feeder factory.

Well get to sharing!!! LOL

customer:Hi I want to put 10 2" comets into a 1 gallon bowl
me: does this bowl have a filter?
customer: no I want them in a bowl
me: goldfish need a filter otherwise you will be doing water changes everyday
customer: I have to change water?
me: yes even if you have a filter you still need to do a water change
customer: Oh ok.......I have a filter now
me: ok now the most goldfish I suggest putting in this filterless bowl is 1
customer: no I want 10
me: "sigh" ok
-next day-
customer: how come I put my fish in bowl and today all dead?
me: did you dechlorinate the water?
customer: no chlorine in water I have alkaline water
me: just because you have alkaline water doesnt mean there is no chlorine in the water.
customer:ooooooooooooh
Me: "yells to boss" can you take care of this? I need a break

I handle about 10 people like this on a daily basis...theres one guy that likes to come in ,and while I am telling people they need a heater for tetras, he insists and expresses out loud that tetras do not need heaters blah blah blah.

lol...unfortunately some people learn the hard way and some people never learn.

And some people just need a swift kick in the ass...LOL

Man sometimes i think they need a slap and a shake hahah

Make my shake chocolate, and it all depends on where ya wanna slap me, Brisch...

bahahah

A chocolate shake does sound good right about now.

I picked up 7 Neolamprologus savoryi at my fish club meeting on Tuesday. They are cool little fish. Right now they are all pretty small (under an inch)

Spiffy. Are those the crazy aggressive ones or am I thinking of something else?

They are pretty mild mannered unless they decide to spawn, from what I understand. Typical cichlid behavior. I'm hoping to get them to spawn so I guess I'll find out.

Sweet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get off your ass, or really don't, sit your ass down, and vote for POTQ!!!!

So I went to my monthly fish club meeting last night. Makes me wish I had a tank set up right now. Hopefully I can get settled and set one up soon. I'm thinking of stocking it with some local sunfish and possibly black crappie. Not 100% sure yet though.

I visited an old buddy of mine this weekend. I checked out his new 60gal SW tank which was pretty amazing. Some great coral and fish. He has a system on his tank where he can control lighting, powerheads, filters, etc...from his I-phone or I-pad. It was sweet!! I need to hit the lottery...lol
