warning to anyone who does not yet have goldfish and are thinking of starting -

I have had my 2 small fish for 2 weeks now and I have to warn others that they are ADDICTIVE and will seriously damage your free time and bank balance....

I'm off this weekend to check out the prices on nice big corner tanks! and lots of fish!

CAUTION - VERY ADDICTIVE> smile.gif

benelliot is right. Run! Get out while you still can!

Seriously though, while it IS very addictive, when the day is done, I consider it time, money, and effort very well spent.

Benelliot, you gotta check out nnnnnn - while I never bought fish there and usually would prefer supporting the small guys, they have this amazing 44g corner tank - I bought mine (in Canada) for $300 cdn, including tank, canopy, fluorescent light, and stand!! And it's gorgeous - 24" by 24" each corner by 24" high.. Beauuutiful.. I had given up my hobby 2 houses ago, (that's 2 years ago - yeah in my area new homes grow like mushrooms, it's a little crazy but now we're gonna settle down for a while).. but am now back at it with a vengeance.

And yes it is an addiction, one that my significant other would like me to get treatment for.. when I checked out this tank at nnnnnn the first time and dragged him by the sleeve, he was not amused.. Thud.gif

I'm already hooked--

"Hello, goldfish anonymous, I REALLY feel the need to buy another fish, I need this fish REALLY, REALLY BAD..." rofl3.gif

I got my goldy because I missed my 55 saltwater, was just supposed to have a 10 gallon with ONE fish. Now I have 2, the other is in a temporary tank, and the 55 is going back up...

Once it's up, I can get TWO MORE!!! That is, until I buy ANOTHER tank...
