On a similar note, when your wife yells at you to boil the driftwood AFTER dinner because it's taking up half the stove

One of the pieces of driftwood I have is a gift from one of my few friends that's in to fish. My other driftwood piece is huge and barely fits in my 55g cichlid tank it reaches from the top close left corner to the far right bottom corner, it was in my pond for a while so the tannins were mostly released then, after that I soaked in the bathtub and when none showed up I scrubbed it and put it in the tank.

When your friend dumps a fish in your tank that you like but are not sure how to care off and you research till midnight doing a 1 and a half hour acclimation for your new oto. Then you stay up the whole night hoping you did everything right and that you won't come back to a dead body the next morning

Did it two nights ago... 3 hour acclamation and still had 1 of three dead in the morning. I want to give up on them. 6 out of 9 haven't made it and it bums me out.

....you are bummed out when a tiny little fish dies...

They are delicate in a transition. Just buy 1.5 to 2x what you think you will need for the tank. Preferrably on sale.


....you take your friend for a quick stop at lfs you never get to go to and can name most of the sw and fw plants and inhabitants...

oh and they aren't named Nemo or Dora

.....and ask the clerks for types of fish they never and/ or almost never stock...

 

[Carriwin]

.... You walk into a Chinese food restaurant and name all the species in the tank they have... Then think to yourself the size of tank you would prefer for the fish along with matching aquarium decor/substrate...
