I introduced my dad to monster tanks

[PoopSmart]

My dad went with me to the fish store I always go to today on the way to my grandmother's house. He had never been before, but he knows that is where I go to get all my fish, trade in fish, etc.

Anyway, he was blown away by how big the tanks were. He had never seen anything bigger than my 125. Well he couldn't understand how big their acrylic tank was (8 feet by 4 feet) and how big the red tailed catfish was.


He stared at the tank for maybe a minute straight, and after that he just said, "Thats the size tank you need. All those big fish you have, that is what you need, but where woul dyou put it? The garage or something I guess."

It was like I didn't even have to argue with him. I just showed him monster tanks and he completely understood why they are 100% necessary.

thats such a good feeling, lol. the feeling of understanding by others. i get ragged on for spending money on fish, i guess some people will never understand. my dad acted the same way. lol

I wish my pet store had big tanks. THe bigges tthey got is a 180.... How sad.

My dad likes the 125-150's, I want him to get one.

If he sees some of the diy stuff on MFK, he'll plug up the garage with silicone and just flood that..

It's always nice to have someone understand the need for a big tank. It's funny that your Dad has never seen anything bigger than a 125g. When people I talk to around here says they know someone with a "huge" tank, it usually ends up being a 50g-60g. They get really shocked when I tell them that I have a 75g

get the parents into some pretty fish to make the living room look a little nicer. its what i did awhile back. got my parents into goldfish. started with a small tank, and wasent hard to convince em their now beloved fancies will yet still need bigger than a 55g.

goldfish or planted community tank with extremely colorful fish works well too
