You can't beat free!

I got a good bargain at my aquarium society meeting last night: 10 2.5 gallon tanks for $2 each. These are the old, stainless steel ones with slate bottoms. They will be good for fry, etc.

i always give myself ridicolous discounts the shop makes money on pump, pond and tank sales, a few mbuna are never realy missed

it not ilgeal by the way .. the manager lets me do it

I feel like I can fit into this topic normally ocean rocks are £1 per kilo but got a bargain of £10 for 35k of rock, this lady had it on for 3 days auction at £9.99 and towards then end I bidded for the sake of my cichlids lol and won! The funny thing when I went to pickup she passed me and my brother the 2 bags of heavy rock that was almost ripping and when it came to paying she acted like it was a business woman, she said 'nine pound ninety nine please' handed over a tenner note and she was going into her purse to give a penny back, we was like don't worry about the 1 pence

To be honest with you I didn't have a clue if the rocks were too much or too less for my 4ft but instead it came out just perfect to fill the tank up with enough spaces for fish to swim around front, top and even back. If you go click on to the website on my sig, on the left side of the rocks it actually looks like a dog with eyes, nose, mouth, body and feet, if you use your imagination you could also see a tail. I didn't know how to set it out other than I wanted the rocks built up in the middle high up and at sides it lowers down, I feel like it has gone better than planned alhamdulillah. All in all it is definitely my best setup ever .

ps that is a really nice rock setup there doresy (picture on your writing post).

Ocean rock is best reply so far (as helping one's self to stock does not qualify )

I once found 7 small bottles of Prime in a lfs basket labeled 50p an item

 

[bae1994]

[synodontismultipunctatus]

now theres a problem.... i never suggested the puffers... i wouldnt know what species is the least agressive and best to risk .. but with most its going to be a risk

at a guess id say collomesus, cause they can group within thier own kind

 

[didz04]

lol alright no problem I will have a look around and it seems like the SAPs are the only one I can find at the moment so might aswell try these. It has been a problem with all the airport shut lately because of the volcanoe eruption, they all do seem to be opened so bring on the imports

I think my big Frontosa ate my bargain fish! I thought the Cyprichromis Leptosoma were too big but i guess i was wrong as they have completely disappeared one by one
