yeah its almost easy to get your parents to let you have fish. they dont poop on the floor, you dont have to clean a catbox, they dont bark and meow, you dont have to vaccinate or bathe them, take them for walks...you can pretty much attend to the fish at your own leisure! too bad the equipment needed is so expensive to start out

mustang, just start asking for metal halides and corals for christmas and birthdays! (well, actually, ask for STORE CREDIT! You cant trust non reefing family members to go to the lfs for you, ha ha!)

fish are the only pet I have ever taken care of. and that is so true about the family members buying from the LFS. my mom asked me if there were anything i needed for my tank from petsmart while she was there

All of my friends often get annoyed with me because all I want to talk about is my tank...especially when I ask for a LFS gift certificate for my birthday . It's addicting, what can I say?

Music? Rock: Alternative/90s/punk; pretty much any rock suits me.
