I have no idea why the fish gods love me so much.

I inherited a Jade Goby, found out they eat hair algae, and in the next three days I had an outbreak of hair algae in my main tank that I was able to harvest and throw his way. I had never had heir algae in that tank since week three of setting it up, and nothing had come into contact with is that I knew of which could have introduced spores. They must have just floated in or been activated by water conditions.

I inherited a paralyzed betta and already was randomly in possession of every little device needed to make his 5g tank handicap access.

I went to a puddle to collect daphnia and got not only buttloads of them, but also blue gammarus sp. female loaded with eggs in just three drags of the net!

There's plenty more I could ramble on about, but I want to hear your tales of luck with setups and filtration, collection, etc.
 
can't think of any good ones off-hand, but I will congratulate you on your excellent use of the word "serendipity" :thumbsup:
 
I've still got it. I just built three DIY filters without buying a thing. It's madness I say!
