Curiouse how you all react to this... wether it be need finically, to keep the SO happy, Going off to school or the military, or some other reason?
Hubby broke the news to me a few days ago that we needed to downsize.. ( electric bill is getting to high ) which means I had to go from a 120,75,56,40b, and the pool... down to the pool, 120, and 40. So essentially the 75 and 56 had to be shut down 100% if I wanted to keep the pool. And our aba aba is in the 120... so not much wiggle room for tank-mates/moving in. So essentially I have a 40 to play with/stock that w/ the current fish wasn't gonna wash.
After growling for awhile I finally caved and started to do the math in my head... not just on what would go into what but also tallying feeding costs ect... I ended up loading up most of my grow outs =( either that or risk predaton in the pool and they where tiny yet compared to the beasts. and all my random odds 'n ends and headed to the LFS to swap them for something that could live in the 40 for life.. or possibly the 75 ( same heater/filter as the 40 so my hubby conceided that point but I can only run one.)
The plan was to get a pleathera of random colorful community fish and call it a day... >.>.... I am so gonna be in trouble. I brought home one fish... a knife fish. But he's cool... So now we have 2 knife fish in their respective tanks.. and the pool of doom.. with a fire eel who I am praying stays off the menu.
So whats your story of that time you had to downsize?
