That's what I get every single person whos sees my tanks is so amazed it's quite flattering and like I said in another post iv got well over 10k invested in that one tank whos else can say they have a item set up in there home worth that much you get what u pay for and it looks as good as every penny I spent on it.

There are no entry level fish, only entry level fishkeepers. The oscar is the golden retreiver of cichlids, if cichlids were golfers they'd be Jack Nicklaus.

We need more fitness types like you guys in the hobby, to counteract our geeky image. You guys should do a physique / fishtank photo shootout, the most muscled guy next to nicest freshwater setup wins. ;)

Shredded is the way to be brah, check out the greatest physique of all time, google image search a man named Zyzz.

The ladies love my fishtanks and my fish. Lol
Back in college I used to ask girls if they wanted to come to my dorm room and see my seven inch red monster (see my avatar), it was a great icebreaker when I didnt get slapped :)

If it comes up I'll tell people all about my fish. Ex wife hated my fish, thinks dropping over a grand for a tank makes me weird. My son, new girlfriend, and her daughter loves them. It's people without hobbies who are truly weird.
