Bought a "few" tetras

[taksan]

My 1000 liter tank went from having 3 fish to having 300+ in about 20 mins.
It was looking bare with just 2 gibbies and a snow king in it so I decided to go and buy a few tetras.... I went a bit overboard but hey nothing exceeds like excess.

Seems he forgot to tell me they were already ordered :shock:

So that's what he was hinting at today. LOL

I hope they're going to one of the tanks in the office :roll:

Seems he didn't know himself ! :shock:

[BSW]

Taskan or Merrilyn ( I guess) -
That's an amazing tank !
Being new here, been reading through the posts. Saw the pic's of the "tank building" extravaganza !! That was very cool, lucky you !
Checked out the wilds, those were awesome. Taking it that you and Merrilyn are either a pair or husband & wife, (she's been a very nice person)
Just how many tanks do you all have ???? A million ??? Are they ALL HUGE ?? What types of fish do you all keep, several ???? Gosh it seems like one tank after another ! You all must be knee deep in the "fish" thing !
Very cool though, wish I could do that !

[Merrilyn]

Thanks for the compliments BSW. Taksan is my very best friend and partner in crime ................ errrrrrrr............I mean partner in fish.

According to our respective families, they would suggest it's partners in crime :lol:

No one seems to understand our obsession with fish.

Can't imagine why :?

[BSW]

Your very welcome Merrilyn -
you have been very nice to me, it's not easy to be new and from another Country on top of it. So have others on this forum.
You guy's have some awesome stuff.

[Merrilyn]

Naaaaah you're not new BSW ........You're one of us.

Another fishy person. We're a close little family, related by our obsession with fish :wink:

[starreys]
