Saltwater maybe? Or some really big,cool FW guys, like arowana or something. Don't give up. -Formerly known as the Ferretfish

Sold 4 tanks already and every time one goes out the door I breathe a little easier. 8 more to go and I'll have 2 left. Yeeeha! I'll have cool fish to look at but no more trying to rescue babies or trying to find room as the fry grow. I'd say if you cut back you'll probably enjoy it more. But if not you decide to go really big I've got more tanks and fish to sell. They're listed in the classifieds. Good luck, Mike

I've just set up a planted tank and its been fun and interesting doing all the research and seeing it all come together. Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Such is the plight of man. Scale back and get to know your fish more personally. Last edited by john.stone at 25-Oct-2004 05:09

For you I'd say try something besides bettas.. Like a community tank with various types of fish so you don't get bored. Then you can see how the various fish interact and school etc.. That should hold alot more interest for you The Amazon Nut...
