My Dad was an electrician for a while, so he knows the amount and a base cost of what it would be. We don't pay a water bill either so it is a bit better on my part lol.

It is a Tetra, the so called silent airpumps and filters series (Total bull, get an Ehiem and wait for silence lol, the 10 gallon airpump on my Moms tank when more air is let through annoys me. I am only gonna use it as long as i am doing DIY CO2, after that the regulator I want uses an electronic solenoid, so i can just plug it into my light timer and bam it is perfect. I need like $100 for everything though.

We use to have the nicest mail man too! If we were outside he would just give is the mail and all that, but he retired

Yeah that is what I was trying to say but I don't know all the breeding terms... Lol. I wish my mom would accept my deal for paying for part of the electricity bill so I can have more tanks, I think she is afraid I may go over board lol, I have a total of 4 tanks right now, two not running, and i will be "upgrading" Mars to a 5.5, I wouldn't say it is an upgrade for him, but more for me as i can actually clean the dang tank without scratching it!

I think I might order my diffuser before and just use my money for it so i can start the DIY CO2, I need a timer for the air pump, my sister that lives with her boyfriend ordered it and decided she didn't like the ornament with bubbles. It is rated for 40 gallons, so hopefully it doesn't make too much racket, or I am throwing a towel on it lol.

I hope the guy doesn't hurt himself lol.

Yes, I plan to. He he just getting antsy now. lol. Now almost his whole bulge is looking purple and smaller! Yay! :))

Wow, I am selling 4 of my games I never play on Amazon so I can buy my NPK doses, the stratum, the Azoo filter, and a CO2 diffuser. From buying all those, which they all get two day shipping (Muwhaha) and I only went like $23 over from what I should get from the games. Sucks for the guy carrying all that stuff, the stratum weighs 16.7 pounds alone lol, plus 3 250mL bottles of ferts.

Yeah, it can get annoying lol.

I have never seen one either, maybe it just hasn't been tried to be done or something. I wanna see some now!

I think i know what I wanna put in the 16 gallon now! It would be cool because nobody really has them. You should find another breeder with them to introduce new blood or else they will turn into petstore guppies and have crappy genetics. You could just keep breeding the original mothers or F1 generation back to the orginal males unless you can get new blood. You would need to have a log system or something to keep track if you do make it a line. I wonder if they would breed true or not to a regular sword/platy (Since you can breed the two). I want some F1s oe F2s whenever I can get the tank setup.

Ouch. Those little guys are expensive. But I'm glad I could be of help :)

I feel cramped at my house so I am always in my "room", the tv in the living room is watched by my sister that had the baby like all day and she lays on the couch so there is never seating, and they are always asking why am I always in my room...

I think the endler, I should give him a name since I can distinguish him, is getting a tad more comfortable as he sometimes comes to the front. Though he is still scared of my hand so he doesn't eat very much. I even tried blowing a couple of pellets near him. He is at the front at the moment as well lol.

Guppies always need to come from a good breeder, or else they will be super fragile, which they should be harder, but stupid people let them breed with the same bloodline that is already crappy and make it crappier, then sell them back to the petstore... Some of their tails are so long though!

Wow T2 lights are awesome! You can link them together and you just have a holder to hold the light, they don't need a fixture!

Those little guys sure do have a hefty price tag on them. Is there any way you can buy six to take care of the problem and then return them? Or buy a single yo-yo to return later? If he stayed alone he would probably become a fin-nipper (loaches didn't get that reputation for nothing).

I think being the token fish vet would be better! You help people so much more than I do. I'm just an encyclopedia.

Haha! I guess I'm the goldfish and loach lady now! XD Do you plan to keep the dwarf loaches? Because they will be shy and reserved in those numbers. This could also cause them to become nippy with the other fish (many Botia get that reputation when they are kept in small numbers). In a group of 6 they should be fine with everyone, including the kuhlies!

Thank you! I want to move him into a bigger container now but I'm scared he'll get worse if i do anything different. :/
