Spreading the Addiction

**Fishfirst** · 12-18-2006, 02:51 PM

Well got my "in-laws" a 29 gallon tank for christmas. I hope they really like it since they always check out mine when they come over, and her dad always makes jokes about frying up my piranha. Wish me luck!

My boss knows about my addiction and has recently become interested as well. He wants me to help him purchase and set up a 20g tank for his daughter and grandkids.

**fish_doc** · 12-19-2006, 10:04 AM

Just be sure to stock it with somthing that taste good.

**Fishfirst** · 12-20-2006, 12:30 PM

lol... guess I gotta go fishing

Arowana is suppost to be tasty.

In the last 3 years or so ive inspired and helped start 9 different tanks with 7 new fish people. I think they see the passion i put into the hobby and it kinda rubs off.

iv only been in the hobby seriously for a year or so, but iv already inspired my friend to start a tank of her own. its a really cool feeling

There are a lot of people trying to give away large silvers that need to move them. same with pacus.

harif87 · 12-24-2006, 11:21 PM

**Fishfirst** · 12-30-2006, 10:23 PM

Well they loved it! I'm so proud of them.

Danyel · 12-31-2006, 11:55 AM

That's great, oh the things they could do with a 29 gallon...

Do they know what thier going to do with it, or are you going to help them?

robyn · 02-06-2007, 12:03 AM

im very proud: on friday my sister and i were just browsing around an lfs and i pointed out a tank of female bettas, some rather pretty girls among them. iv seen females once, but never any lookers. my sister wanted me to get them. she said she would buy them. i convinced her to put my little old tank in her room and she agreed.

the next day we were at another lfs buying gravel, decor and a filter (already had a heater and airpump) adn my father told her he would buy her a slightly bigger tank cos the other one was like a toy.

her 8G is now cycling awaiting the addition of her betta's who are currently living in my QT tank

**Fishfirst** · 02-08-2007, 11:24 AM

congrates... well here is the stock list the last time I stopped buy

1 lg angelfish
2 silver tipped tetras
4 black skirt tetras
1 Gold dust molly
1 Powder Blue Dwarf Gourami
1 Rubberlip Pleco
2 Julli Cories

I suggested they get two more silver tips and two more cories.

Giving someone a tank or getting a fish can get anyone atarted. When my brother set his up, I missed having mine up. About 4 or 5 months later, I got my tank set up and I really want to get a 20 gal. I have another 10 that I need to buy a few parts for. Filter, heater, new bulbs, and a cartridge. In my 10, my brother left my house, I got all his fish, the zebra, leopard, and pleco. I had to break down the tank...

but I got paid $20 to do it.
