Best Decision I Ever Made...

[qoftheq]

Best: Special ordering a long, wide, low 70 gallon tank just for corydoras

Worst: Knowing nothing about fishes, buying four corys of different species for an uncycled 10 gal. Only 1 survived. But he's enormous, fat, and healthy now

BEST joining this forum

WORST allowing myself to becoming addicted to it, im so tired, it keeps me up all night and most of the morning

Ditto. Except also...

Best: Deciding not to buy any more goldfish.
Worst: Taking bad advice from two of my lfs's, on multiple occasions even after I had got burned. To this day I still have my sailfin plec in my 16gal......"Nah, he wont get much bigger than that" - he was 2 inches when I first got him..

[miss bunkface]

best - my soon to be discus.
worst - having all these fish i don't want, not that they're not great, but i only have them because they have no where else to go. also, not just sticking in the cichlid family.

Best - Not being a little kid that only wants goldfish... Those were the worst to have as a small kid.

Worst - Cycling with fish R.I.P. those that didnt make it and the few that did, I can only hope are happy now
