I have the best mom ever!!

Thats very lucky maybe I'll mention this to my parents, But something to be carefull is that when buying a tank the most expensive part is the canopy and the stand so your still looking to spend another couple hundred moneys

We already got the stand as well, so all that's missing is the canopy

I'm going to see if the midas and oscar will get along in the 80 gallon, but if not, the midas is still only about 4 or 5", so she can live comfortably in the 29 gallon until I save up enough to get her a 55 gallon.

SirMinion: That's what I thought, but I went ahead and bought the pair because it's a 2 hour drive to the nearest store that carries them. I guess I'll watch the puffers closely and upgrade them if/when problems arise; they're young yet. I have a 10 gallon hospital tank I can toss one in if they start fighting until I can buy a 10 gallon that isn't covered in silicon like the hospital tank

I wish my mum would buy me a tank like that!

Then again...seeing as I am 30 years old, with my own home, mortgage, car, well paid job and two holidays a year I don't think I have much chance of persuading her to fork out cash on my fish addiction!!

my dad used to keep fish as a kid and he likes helping out with tank care but not monies. If i buy the stuff he will help me use it.

when i first started, my mum didnt really like the fishkeeping hobby, but after spending some nights in from of the 90 watchin the fish swim, she became a believer. Now, she helps out to pay for fish stuff and she wants to buy me fish all the time!!

Ha! That's exactly what I was thinking

Although in my case, I am a stay at home mom, so I guess it's my husband financing my addictions B)

I wish my mom would buy me a big aquarium too! I guess I aughta call her... I wonder if she's changed her number........

My mom hasn't seen my tank yet. I hope she likes it when she does--she was the one who got me interested many, many years ago. She hasn't had a tank in years though. I remember that she had to put our African frog in a separate tank because it decided fish were tasty. It grew to be quite large. She also had an Angel fish with the same appetite. She put them together. The frog held the angel fish up out of the water and killed it. I will never have a frog in my tank. I suppose this all happened close to 40 years ago--I'm scarred for life BTW, I think it's super when parents support their children's healthy interests, no matter how young or old the child.
