My favorite events are the frees! 500, 400, 200, 100, 50 ! I also like the IMs but i suck sooooo bad at breast its not even funny. What do you go in the 100 Flipturn? At practice the team and i make jokes about getting coach a bull whip to help motivate us!

Are there times when anyone gets "fished out" and wont even think of fish? Sometimes i love my tank other times i HATE it, mainly because my progress is sooo slow, MONEY IS A PROB, CANT WORK! Work in progress! The worst part of all is that my dad thinks its done! I have enough! Yeah right! I only have 3 diff species of coral 5 fish and about 12 diff inverts.

Dont you hate it when your mom or dad keeps pestering you to get a fish you now you cant get, then they say they will pay for it and they buy it for you against your better judgement and then you have to take it back? The voice of experience aka Queen Angel

My music, I like some punk and a little pop, right before i swim!

At night i turn my mood lights on and listen to jazz to fall asleep

I'm NOT a freestyler; I like the 400 IMs. But my free time is 54 short-course (nothing to brag about but oh well ).

My Dad keeps on trying to buy me a yellow tang (too big) or a maroon clown (already have 2 ocellaris). Yeah, if only he liked corals too...

You guys are all funny, i am 21 and have been doing the Fishie thing since 16 or so, Salt for a year. But my girlfriend is 19 and has had a 55 reef for years, funny thing is she was also a swimmer in high school.

Off Topic:
Superswimmer - I love your signature, but let me tell you something from experience, I dated Girly Girls for years, they are in it for the money/trips/dinners/ etc that you can provide them, find a girl thats very cute but a bit of a tomboy, tomboy's are usually much more truthful, and much more into fish, and hey we all look the same naked no matter what group we seem to fall into at first glance.

Does anyone do AIM?

How often do you rearrange your aquascape?
Do your fish bite you?

Yeah, i was starting to slip a little on my husbandry, and i started dating this girl and she would come over and say "Clean your tank" like everyday. So a few days later she came over with an armload of testkits and chemicals and i was inspired again. Spent all last night setting up a fuge and a new pvc return system and have actually put some LR in. My tank is beatiful now, in stead of people saying what is the red hairy stuff they all ask questions about the tank now. It's in my pool room so it reaaly needs to be beautiful.

There is nothing like the satisfaction when you KNOW your tank looks good. ahhh!

However, i dont like to be in the tank very much cause my clown is hellbent on biting me everytime im in there, he wont give me a moments peace. The worst part is, he's taught the rest of the fish to bite also.

All my fish are PIGS so are the shrimp! The forumula one cube can be clutched in my hand, and they will try to go for it. The shrimp jumps on to it and the clown attacks it. Its not starvation i feed twice a day. 1 cube and some flake. My clown will eat off hands anytime. My shrimp one time went a swam up to my clown, who had a big chunk of food in his mouth and climbed onto the clown and grabbed the food out of his mouth. Talk about greedy

My shrimp are such pigs too! Whenever I come into the room they start running upside down on the surface of the water looking for food.

Oh, and to all guys...if appearence really doesn't matter, then why must all guys talk/think/converse about...you-get-the-picture? THAT is the reason I'd rather be single (none of my guy friends are mature in any way). I need a guy who doesn't go after appearance alone...and who doesn't mind me constantly talking about my fish .

17 I have been keeping puffers, planted tanks, and other FW tanks since i was like 12.

Just starting my first reef/SW tank. I love puffers a lot, too bad none are reef safe.

Ok lets think about this the guys that tell you that are lieing but you know this is what i say and most all guys think this way if they say it or not. If the girl you see or wanna date has to be Good looking body/face/butt to the guy or he will lose interest. I won't intiate a conversation unless the girl is Good looking which for me is limited because i am picky. If they dont look good to me i will lose interest in a week that me. and most men!

I agree; I take interest in attractive guys when I am looking to meet someone. But when guys come up and say, "Oh your'e hot, wanna hook up?" or "oh...[something a guy would typically say]", it gets frustrating. They don't even know who they're dealing with .

Okay, back to reefing. Any other tanks out there?
