I love huge fish, but I also love tiny fish. We got a lot of cool anabantids at work recently, so one of my tanks is getting converted into a micro anabantid tank. Inhabitants:
1 pair Betta brownorum
3 Burmese chocolate gouramis (Parasphaerichthys ocellatus)
1 chocolate gourami of unknown species
3 sparkling gouramis (the latest addition, I have been looking for these for AGES)
1 pair zebra shrimp
1 pair cherry shrimp

These are all in a 5g for tonight because I am too lazy/tired to net out the incompatible guys in the 10g they are going into to move them tonight, but tomorrow they'll be moved to the 10g that already has 7 khuli loaches, a couple more chocolates, and 5 licorice gouramis (unknown species.) It sounds overstocked, but these guys are TINY.

Sparkler.

This has got to be one of your coolest ideas so far in my opinion, and that really is saying something. Keep us posted.

Whats a very attractive blonde lady like you doing all alone in a 2 bedroom apartment? Sorry if thats too personal, feel free to make a derogetory comment about fish being better then men or something, or just choose to ignore it perhaps.....nice fish also!

:lol: But it's so true! Flattery will get you nowhere ;)
The answer to this is very simple: I am picky.
That, and I don't like living with other people. I've tried it, and I just don't like it. Even when I have found a life partner I think I may prefer to live in separate houses next door to one-another, or possibly even with a little bridge between the two like the arrangement Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera had. That would be ideal, but separate rooms, at least, for when I want to be left alone.
 
Good answer, and flattery gets you everywhere, has anyone ever told you you have beautiful fish? ;)
