Not fish but what about tanks/filters or supplies?

LyndaB said:I'm a rare breed of woman, I hate to shop. When I do shop, it's a planned event. If I do tell hubby "let's stop by the lfs today", it's because I already know what I want.
So no, I don't impulse buy. How boring!!!
Boogety48 said:Here's a picture of the impulse buy I posted about yesterday. The yellow one has red on the edge of all his fins(tequila sunrise guppy). The blue one is blue pearl. I don't know how to describe the yellow/blue/black/green one.

cruising for tanks on craigslist is too tempting for me, though. I have to avoid it because I have no room for another tank, but I feel like I would buy a huge one and just let it sit empty in the garage until I can use it lol
maxwellag said:That fish looks so awesome! But I don't think it's a bolivian ram... rams have pointed tails. Yours has a rounded tail and fins. Redirect Notice
^a bolivian ram...
Yours looks like an apisto, or Apistogramma nijsseni

So pretty-- aren't those called cobra guppies?
I've never had an impulse buy because my dad is always right there with me and he hates impulse buys lol.

They were $19.99 each... Together they costed more than most of my setup! But I had never seen Electric Blue Rams before, and they were bred locally, so I figured they would be used to my water. Went back to the LFS after work and picked them up!

Happened to stop on my lunch break one day. It was a shop I had never even seen before. Went back to that day after work and picked them up!
This photo was in November. Can't believe I have had them that long...
