when you do both cocaine and keep fish and you decide to downsize your fishkeeping to be able to afford the drugs? or when you are datnoid101...

I agree you should keep your coke and fish budgets in line at all times

That's crazy man. I got laid off too and have really upped the fish buying. Upgrades, fish, bulk items. I guess it's our outlet. I worked at Freightliner. They'll be going to Mexico. grrr

GOING TO MEXICO??????
I just helped replace your paint shop in NC. Now going to Mexico? WTF. What a waste of money.

Keep this in mind keeping fish is a way to relieve stress and getting laid off is a type of stress.....Watching my fish swim around relaxes me right out. So buying some new fish is just away to keep me in a good mood.

same with me... not just buying more but getting rid of the ones i dont want and testing behaviors. yesterday i added a lil pbass, i bought 2 of them about a month ago and one jumped out but the other is 2.5", the new one was in the same tank as the 2 i bought last month. He's about an 1.5" and the 2.5"er wants to kill it so do i get rid of it or do i wait and see if he stresses him too much?
not asking a real question just wondering.
