Got it from a best buy. I dont think i have the reicept either. So now i have to choose, new kindle or stand for fishtanks

 

[Galligak]

Yeah - I've been looking into tissue culturing plants at home, actually. It'll definitely wait until I have a bit more money laying around - not that it's super expensive, but all possible funds are going towards stocking the 55

Yeah, I just googled tissue culturing. It doesn't seem too hard if you diy it. I might have to test it out once I too stock my 55g. It shouldn't take too much money though to stock mine. Maybe 90... Well, 8 for the barbs (did you see the PetSmart sale?), lets go 30 for harlequins, 25 for another angel, 20 for panda cories and 10 for peppered. Plus tax... Maybe. I can prolong this fish buying experience. Trust me my tetras are doing a very good job at it.

Oooh. That's not good and that's a pretty tough decision too.....

Same. All funds toward my 55 right now . What's the difference between tc and regular plants?

I have about $200 in fish

I generally try not to think about the money I've put into my tanks (it's easily in the thousands) but I have over $200 in just bettas. Maybe more. Nearly half was from just one fish. Importing fish is expensive.

i thats a lot of money

 

[Alyxx]

Yeah. Pretty much all of my spare cash ends up in my tanks. My black hmpk male was about $60 after shipping from Thailand, two of my females were about $20 each after shipping from only 45 mins away by car but the seller didn't offer pickup, and my other 9 females came from the LFS at $5-10 each. Only lost two since I got them, though. And I have a small batch of babies growing now and soon I will have more. So hopefully I will be making some of that cash back soon!

What are the pros and cons of real with fake plants?

I don't believe there are ANY cons to live plants

Over $200 in betas!!! That's a lot!
Throughout my entire fish keeping career, I've only gotten one beta.

 

[bmarine]

I've never had a betta, or a goldfish!

Wow! Really! When you were a little kid, you never had those carnivals where your prize was a little goldfish ? And betas seem to be everyone's beginner fish. What was your first fish?

 

[Surfer]

The first fish I've ever kept in an aquarium was a pleco, but my first ever was a betta called dolphin. He used to do leaps out of the water for food.... It's too bad that's how he died one day. Jumping.

XD but I've never had a goldfish, ever. I don't think the ones I used to give to my red eared slider counted.

My first fish was a dwarf gourami, I've never had a betta either
