Don't worry, it's a sickness worth having

 

[FishCr8zy]

Yea I am leanin toward a kissing gourami I really like their kissing faces and they are the only gouramis sold in my area

Those gouramis are really cool. I had one in my old 45 gal and he was pretty big. Around 5-6"!

Lol. A lot of fish keepers have to have that. It's almost irresistible.

I love it. I could not be happier there. I have learned so much and all the fish customers are so cool you will be very happy. disclaimer though, it's a huge amount of work for minimum wage so just be prepared to earn your paycheck. all in all very rewarding though.

Haha I gotcha. Thanks for the info! But its cool to get paid doing your hobby, so I'm sure I will love it too! As a customer, I love the fish store, so hopefully it'll stay that way as an employee!

 

[Maxw47]

What kinda fish are you breeding Max?

Well I began I with ya know platies and guppies, what everybody starts out with haha. Right now I'm breeding a bunch of panda cories, endlers, kribs, and my angelfish have spawned a few times but they always end up eating the fry once they hit the wriggler phase. I'm not too worried about them though so it's all good.
