137. Methods of killing your LFS business: dead fish, dirty tanks, watching TV instead of helping customers, overdoing dyed/tattooed fish, overly high prices on common fish, bad customer service.
138. African cichlids seem to outnumber all other fish combined.
139. When people find out you are into fish, you at least get offered 1 free tank a year from those who failed due to new tank syndrome or mixing angelfish with goldfish and channel catfish.
140. Political topics on a fish message board are like oil and vinegar. They don't mix well, but apparently go together!

101. My Bettas like golden crisp cereal as much as I do
102. a love of mead + a need for CO2 for a planted tank = match made in heaven
103. If you ever get bored, sitting around watching your fish and making up "LOL" captions for them is more fun than television (ie. "I can has a fish flake" and In UR c45t13 eating UR flakes"
104. I will wince at 5.00 a pound for meat for dinner and not bat an eye at a 15.00 tiny fish for my tank
105. Aquascaping is the cure to my black thumb with plants - If I forget to water them, I have bigger problems
