Tiger fish


I dropped $100 bucks on an African Tiger fish and the damned thing died eating too many rosy red minnows......

It was cool while I had it....

The worst purchase I've made has been very recently while ordering live plants from Singapore. After a rude email from the salesperson, they shipped more than a week later than promised, and finally....THE END UP GETTING CONFISCATED BY CUSTOMS in the US! The moral of the story is to not order outside US or buy the proper permits (I don't know how you would get the other seller to add them to the packaging and be sure it's done). Basically, pay the extra buck and ensure your shipment from quality US vendors.

Aquatic plants. They were on Aquabid.com (like Ebay) and were really cheap and I ordered 92 plants from Singapore (Vals, chain-swords,Anubias, and Crypts).
