parents and your tanks

[Nyghtfire]

drove my mother to look at fish tanks, shower her the fish i wanted and pleaded my case.
now i have to tell her off for feeding the fish -_- overfed fish soon, lucky all i have right now are the fish i'm using to cycle my tank, which will most likely be eaten when i put the new fish in there, and if there not eaten, i'm gonna take them back to the pet store, which said they'd love to have them.

or you could make a deal with her. like clean the house for a couple days or a week. but tell her that before you suggest the tank. lol it worked for me

OR breed fish you have in the tank you have now (youll need lots of babies) tell her your water conditions will turn to crap and all of the fish will die if you dont get a growout tank soon.---- yioull get a big tank, and it will be soon lol. hope i helped

my dad loves the hobby and got me into it....so i think he sort of convinces my mom...but we still get grief from her sometimes

My mom wouldn't mind if i picked up a 10g there or a 30g periodically. Then they would build up and clutter the basement. Then I offer her trading the equivalence of the smaller tanks for one large tank. To cut down on clutter and save room. Works everytime, I've done this 3 times now resulting in a 90g, 120g, and a 125g.
