How many times have you come across a great deal, and thought nothing about where you're going to put it? I'm glad I bought what I did, but really should have thought first. Just picked up a 14" Black Ghost Knife, 2 gorgeous 6" Botia Kubotai, one 5-6" Hypancistrus sp. and just a regular old 8" Gyrinocheilos aymonieri. Paid $20. I had everything ready to go for the transport home (25 min drive), and had an amuzing time watching him try to catch the Gyrinocheilos aymonieri. Everything was caught, bagged up nicely and on the drive home, with the new additions on my wife's lap in a box, I asked aloud...."where am I going to put these?" I'm not sure they're in the very best tanks right now, but it gets me off my butt to start up one of the 5 other tanks I have sitting around on my work bench in the garage (another had-to-have "great deal"). I hope they'll be okay for now. The Botias are in with two other 8" Chromobotia macracanthus, so hopefully they'll start to school (and avoid the Aro up top), the Ghost Knife is in a large "community tank", so if I have to replace any community fish, no big deal. The other two should be fine where they went.
I hope this happens to all of you too. Anyone else keep bagging supplies, nets, and transport containers in your car just in case??!
