Yeah update the tanks are doing well.I just scored a 20 gallon with stand,filter,heater,air pump thingy and 2 1 gallon betta bowls so now more gothic style tanks.This new 20 galon really inspires me because the stand is iorn and kinda destressed looking but still usable and the tank looks old like i don't know how to explaine it but it's sealed different than my other tanks so yeah.I'm planning a saltwater with this one.Davey_8313
any ideas on all black salt water fish for this tank?I figure 1 all black fish and 1 or 2 clownfish is all that i'll put in the 20 gallon.And i'm getting black gravel for the betta bowl i plan on putting white bettas in them so it'll be a nice contrast.
Thanks for the update. I scored a free 20 gallon a little while back w/ stand and everything, :D I like the iron stands, they're nice. Sealed differently? Maybe you can get pics one day. All black saltwater fish? Hmm...
 
ok well here's ur update
i just got back from the carnivale about a week ago but i've been a little tied up
i made like 1,000 bucks in 3 days work not bad.But 500 went to the hotel and 200 for food and like 100 for "other things" and and like 50 bucks for gas to get home.I have 142 coming my end.What's the biggest tank i could get for 150 bucks?I want a 300 gallon but i don't think i could get that for 150 so yeah any ideas?
I had alot of fun it was awsome i saw a ton of my family and since i lost about 100 pounds since last year when they saw me in Talahassee most of them didn't recognise me it was kewl.I was beating guys off with a stick that last year didn't like me.Can you say karma is a bi*ch?lol
anyway off that subject.
My birthday is in 10 days so my grandparents offered to chip in 100 dollars towards my fish dream and my dad and step mom siad they'd chip in like 100 and i think my mom and step dad are gonna chip in like 50 so yeah that brings my total to like $375 so yeah how big of a tank could i get with $375-400 bucks?
would that be enough for say 250-300 gallons?
oh and the mollies are doing well i tossed so shiners in the tank from my fishing trip and put my convict ciclid in there as well i don't know why but i've had no problems with him killing anyone yet maybe it's because they are fast and there are enough to spread the agression around?
as far as the tank goes i'm getting another 55 galllon for my birthday
it will be gothic.
I'm redecorating all my tanks gothic.And my local LFS has gothic castles and stuff and Pets Mart has some killed skulls.
Since i'm good friends with the owner of my LFS and my birthday is around halloween when they usually have sales i think they'd give me a great deal on some stuff.I praticaly keep them in business they tell everyone that i'm basically the store embasator i have a little bit of everything from there.Fish,rats,parakeet,rabbits,betta fish,goldfish,tarantula,(which was sadly given away tears....)everything but my dream animal a snake.
So i think i could get a pretty good price on a tank from them.As for the 20 gallon it's still cycling.I thought about tossing a piece of shrimp in there but idk.
I think i may take the crushed coral out of the 20 gallon because i've thought about putting some type of schooling fish in there.And putting the crushed coral in a 10 gallon and just putting mushroom corals and maybe a small fish in there.
And then getting another 10 gallon for 1 of my blood parrots and taking the devider out of the 10 gallon that the currently share so they both have some swimming room they seem happy but yeah i think they'd be happier having their own tanks.
And making my baby mollie tank into a planted tank and maybe putting the adult mollies and some neon tetreas or lemon tetras in the 20 gallon and putting plants in the 20 gallon.and moving my 3 dime sized angewlfish from the 5 gallon to something larger and getting yet another 10 gallon to put the convit ciclid in.And ither using the shiners for fish bate or turning that 55 in the living room into a planted tank and putting another 55 beside it with some type of fish and then getting the 100_????? size tank for my birthday and utting some type of fish in there.Possibly salt water but i don't know because i leave sometimes to go to the carnivale sometimes as long a 1 or 2 months at a time.My grandparents can't eventake care of my goldfish muchless a saltwater tank.They always over feed them and let the water evoporate.
Humm i don't know what i'm gonna do at this point but i do know everyone is gonna be moved p up to bigger tanks as soon as i get my pay.
 
Well, thanks for the update. $375? You can get a new decent-size tank for that around here, but look on Craigslist, they have some good deals.... I don't know about a 250-300 gallon though, but some people have found them that cheap, I'm sure... G/L
 
hey anyone know if betta fish come in black?
