i didnt get past them, my story is rather stupid on my moms part, about 3 years ago i had a 40ga lwith an oscar about 8in, 2 plecos about 5 in and a white stripped pim, anyways, their was some tension between the 4 fish my oscar was the one getting picked on!!! so i wanted to take all my cats to my 180 at my dads, that way my oscar would have a tank to itself, i asked my mom and she said no, i said why, and she said cause said so!, i new then I WAS ABOUT ****ING POWER!!.
What i did after that over a 3 week period was put one fish in a zip zock bag and put it in my backpack, then when i got to my dads i would put it in the 180 gal, took 3 sundays to get em all over into my 180, luckily my mom didnt notice cause i had the lights off one day. i left them on after feeding and my mom got pissed and was yelling at me and she got my net and was gunna flush him down the tiolet, i pysically stopped her from doing it, i was gunna bea ther *** if she kept on fighting, then she told me that when im at school shes gunna drain the tank and take my oscar to my lfs, surely enoguh thats wut she did. I hate her for doing that ****, well afew days l8er i went with my dads and i saw him in a tank with baby red devils, TORN TO ****!!!! and very pale, the next i went back he wasent their, i think he died, he was my favorite fish, and he was a pretty oscar to.
Ive 'cheated' on my hubby w/ fish and tanks many times in many ways -usually I would just buy the tanks/fish (or have them shipped ) and bring them in before he got home (managed to hide a 6'X2; tank under a blanket in a spare room for a long time). I had some giant danio dithers that somehow turned into a 22" silver arowana
But Ill admit Ive lied -hes come home early on days Im getting a box fed-exed and I'll be like .."oh someone from the internet just sent me these,i dont know why" . My usual tactic is to say "it only cost like $5.00"(yeah right ..5 X 10) to this day my husband has no idea I actually spent $480 on a fish one time.But when I decided to build a 360g tank in our living room had to swear I would get rid of some smaller ones ,which one of these days Ill do (when i get my 500g
that is ).I figure what the heck ,i work! and my hobby is way less expensive then his- hot rods and motorcycles
Women are deff smarter or something. 
Do you think you could set up a small tank in his hot rod? 
No I dont have any pictures up yet. I have some really icky ones but they dont have my cool fish. I will post pic's as soon as I can though ( I dont have a digi cam, the one I had takes blurry pics
