So I picked up a used tank on craig's list today. $200 for a 110g w/ metal stand, 2 lights (1 without a bulb) the top piece, filter that is way to small, and 2 nice rocks. (threw out the rest of the stuff)

That was well planned out and all, but driving home I stopped for some cleaning supplies since the tank was used

I of course had to look at the fish to see what they had.....I'm looking at a tank of maybe 10 black cons and I notice a female. Then I saw it rubbing up on the filter tube and noticed it was literally laying eggs in front of me. I ended up taking her home and added her to my tank of fish waiting for there new home


I had no plans on keeping cons right now, but something made me buy her. Once the new tank is cycled I'll find her a mate, maybe pink. (had blk male pink female pair once)

Anyone else get roped into bringing home a fish randomly like this
 
ditto...that's why I do my best to stay away from lfs...at least the ones that I know carry cool fish. lol
 
i always end up overstocking my tanks cause i have the dire need too buy interesting fishes
 
This happened to me just today when I went to my LFS and they had great looking festaes that they just got in. Had to pick one up.

3 festae is what the female convict is in with. Also have 3 jags and 2 haitians and a fire mouth

All my fish are 2" and under so I get to enjoy them growing up and keep my favorites but I do buy too many. To the point leaving with only 1 fish is a moral victory haha.
