    I dont know how this keeps happening ...

    Well, it seems like only a couple weeks ago that I got rid of most of my fish when I moved. My fiancee wanted me to get down to three aquariums. I have managed to go down from fifteen to three when I moved.  Somehow I am back up to nine! I managed to convince her that I REALLY needed four. (Five is next ) I stopped netting out the holding yellow labs, but I still have too many of them. Here we go:

    50 x Labidochromis caeruleus - $1 per inch (group discounts available)  
    6 x Synodontis Eupterus - $5 each (Smaller ones went for $10-$15 at the HAS auction)

    There are pics in the photo gallery.

    Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

    It was just a matter of time, hehe.

      Maybe you need to sell groups of them with tanks.....LOL.  And maybe quit stashing tanks in your closets so that she can't see them.  I know if I have empty tanks laying around I somehow manage to justify in my mind why I need to put something in them.  Then you might need to start like a 12 step program for out of control fish keepers....LOL!!!!!

              Make one room / garage a designated fish tank area and make a simple rule.   No fish stuff outside the fish room/area and all the stuff you can get into the fish room is OK ..... :idea:

                  Well, most of the Yellow labs have been sold... I'll always some an extra couple for whomever want some. Just PM me if interested.

                  I still have the Syn. eupterus though!!

                  Phishfreek - I thought about the idea of a fishroom in the garage... but I actually have to use the garage for the car as there is a fire hydrant infront of my house. And living downtown, space is at a premium so I cant devote an entire room to fish.  :idea: If anybody out there has a room that they aren't doing anything with... let me know!

                    Well, I studied my house and the room voted lease\t useful in the whole house was the formal dining room.   But you do what you gotta do.

                            I have found that the space above the toilet tank is just the right size to build in a 29g.......
