What to do.....what to do....

[bra8ndy8]

well i'm picking up that 75 gallon tonight.....I get to help the guy clean up his 55 in his office.....but the question is......what should I put in it??????!

[greeneyed]

Well, since REYREY isn't on..............

Piranhas!!!

[tsunderl]

Don't forget crocodiles!!!

[bra8ndy8]

lol its going in the girls room.....I'm not thinking those r good choices!! NEXT......!!!

[EAST_TX_RN]

I would put some regular dither fish in, such as neons,etc. Either that, or one Oscar.

[bra8ndy8]

I don't want regular.......I want something cool! I have a community tank already....

[tsunderl]

lol its going in the girls room.....I'm not thinking those r good choices!! NEXT......!!!

Alligators???:confuzeld:

[tsunderl]

I don't want regular.......I want something cool! I have a community tank already....

Rams? Gouramis?

[supersmirky]

Rainbows Brandy!!! Rainbows!!!!

[fatfutures]

Rainbows are cool! I love watching they way their shape and color changes as they grow up!

[fishyjoe24]

discus,rainbows,angels,silver dollars,pepper cory cats,tiger barbs,cheery barbs,
bleeding heart tetras,etc etc.

[lellison]

angels:)
killies
ooh a black ghost knifefish...providing the tank is long. My Granny used to have one. She handfed him every day. Neat fish.

[Haiven]

Definitely African Tiger Fish. It will really bring home the message to the girls that when you tell them to keep their hands out of the tank, you MEAN IT!!!

[lellison]

roflmao Yes! That or they will just carefully take him out of the tank and color on him with a blk marker :)

[bra8ndy8]

lol....yall r crazy!!!!

[fishyjoe24]

thanks, i already new that brandy.

[lellison]

what are you saying :aaargh SO: ?? That you think I'm crazy?
Yea, you're probly right

[supersmirky]

hehe....that's a way to teach a lesson! Brings back memories of Christopher Titus again!! hahaha

[lellison]

LOL I love me some Titus.

[kewlkatdady]

this thread is like deja vu...

how about a group of throphs

[bra8ndy8]

deja vu??? yeah probably! what about tangs in the 75 and shellies in the 30? i've never had shellies....but I think the girls would like them.

[AndrewH]

How about some goldfish?

J/K

Get a little hippo!!!

[tsunderl]

Nothing says love like a shark, but the hippo is cool too!

[bra8ndy8]

MAn yall are all about Jokes today!!! hehehehe....always in my threads!! Dammit be some help!! lol

[AndrewH]

B-E some help, be some help, B-E some help... (yes I'm a tard)

Well, do you want something kinna simple since it's the "girls' tank" or do you want to take on a bit of a challange (but still not too hard)?

[bra8ndy8]

I was thinking about shellies........would they be ok in a 30........and what kind? What type of stats do they need?

[AndrewH]

Cichlids are not my stong suite (ok not my suite at all), but I know Blake and Jarod both have some...

I'd recommend Rainbows along with Chris and Michelle, but they'd require a little more attention than cichlids (as in would do better with plants in the tank, etc.).

[xtc]

I liked Tanganyikan's- shellies and the smaller variety aren't the cheapest fish, or the easiest to find- good luck. They require similar numbers to your Malawi's. Higher PH.

[bra8ndy8]

Well I like a challenges!

[xtc]

jjriot has some shells if you need...or you could just go steal your own from any elementary school science department in your hood. :hehe:

[fatfutures]

:muahaha:

[bra8ndy8]

LOL!!! Well I will go right now!! hehehe!

[tsunderl]

Wait! She'll come to you!

[Misty]

hahaha...funny!! JJ will never be forgotten! lol

One can certainly try...

Has a decision been made? What's going in the tank?

[bra8ndy8]

hell I don't know.....alligators....a shark.......jj.....lol

[tsunderl]

Alligators, yes. Sharks, yes. jj, no. Don't want the girls having nightmares!

[supersmirky]

roflmaoHer legend lives!

[bra8ndy8]

LOL.....I think we are going to have to move this to the NSFW!

[fishyjoe24]

the nsfw section why? i think i found a post on craigslist.org it said call jj at so and so number 30 free fish or the first to show up at the hurst petsmart gets them.
i want her silver dollars but hurst is to far of a drive.

[bra8ndy8]

Ok.....now that is funny!!!

[supersmirky]

hehehe.....oh yeah.

[bra8ndy8]

Well Braylen and I went to Petsmart so she could pick out what she wanted.....she took the 30 gallon......put white gravel.....they were out of pink, so shes gunna mix it! she picked out hot pink, purple, and a white plant that glows in the dark!! so the fish can see! she also picked out 2 deco pieces....that match of course! I was pretty proud for a 3 yr old! On to the fishies..........she loved the guppies! so we picked up 5 of EVERY color....30 in total, 2 otos....and a blue mystery snail (she thinks is a crab,and i'm not arguing!!) as girly as the tank is.....its pretty cute!! And she loves her fishies!!

[supersmirky]

Wow...$90 in guppies!!! That's cute she likes fishies. That tank will definitely have some color and movement. Very good!

[bra8ndy8]

Yeah it has a LOT of color!! She's trying to name them!

[lellison]

lol good luck with that! My little sister did her 29 gallon very bright also. A little girly, but it turned out really pretty

[bra8ndy8]

thanks hun!! its definatly not their natural surroundings.....but to each its own! and she put up a big fight!!

[REYREY]

ok... what is this thread about???

[bra8ndy8]

everything!!!!

[AndrewH]

LOL, I was thinking about putting up a "fun" tank with all kinds of weird stuff in it to get the girls interested in the fish (well more of keep them interested).

Sounds like she did an awesome decoration job!!! I'd love to see some pics when you get a chance. ;)

[bra8ndy8]

sure will!!

[xtc]

Walmart is selling colored sand- They had green, pink, purple and a couple other colors. It's a crayola product and I didn't see any toxic warnings on it- so for you folks after an interesting look- check em out.

[bra8ndy8]

well I have some bad news......my regent hob.......ate 6 of my guppies.......I took it off and put in a fluval 1.....hopefully that will work. has anyone had that happen?

[lellison]

I've never had a problem with it. Sorry to hear that though. :( If you need a little pick-me-up, I almost have enough snails to make a trip for your loaches :)

[bra8ndy8]

thanks hun.....we just told braylen that they were sleeping! cool.....she has a mystery snail in there.....its her favorite!

[lellison]

oh yea, the crab. lol

[bra8ndy8]

lol yep!!!

[tsunderl]

This is a bummed forum tonight. Joey and Skipp's news... Brandy's HOB gobbling up guppies... And I just lost a ps. saulosi after she got stuck in a hole in the holey rock. :(

[bra8ndy8]

what a terrible day!! poor fishies and grandparents!

[kewlkatdady]

i'm certainly sorry to hear about yalls fish...
but its kinda wrong to speak of your dead fish and someone's family member that has recently passed in the same sentence.

I know yall aren't "actually" comparing the two, but still...

[tsunderl]

I didn't mean anything near a comparison between the two and apologize if anybody takes it as such. I was just pointing out that today's been a downer on the forum after I read Brandy's post.

Again, sorry. Think I'll go until this passes over.

[lellison]

I didn't see it that way at all. I just saw it as a statement of bad news all around on the forum tonight. I wouldn't worry about it. Just pray for everyone, that's the best thing you can do.

[bra8ndy8]

i'm sorry to...I never meant to compare the two!

[biggin]

I had it happen with a power head. Sucked up 6 or 7 fish.

well I have some bad news......my regent hob.......ate 6 of my guppies.......I took it off and put in a fluval 1.....hopefully that will work. has anyone had that happen?

[supersmirky]

Aquaclears seemed to do that to me in the past, but my current one hasn't ate a fish yet

[kewlkatdady]

FYI, you can put a pre filter sponge over the intake for any filter to prevent loosing fry.
