Thread: Aquariums and fish..

  1. #1

    Aquariums and fish..

    I've always been fascinated with fish since I was a little kid..always wanted my own fish tank too, so I bought something little to get me started. Just a little ten gallon tank, picked up a Plecko (algae eater), two Bala Sharks, and two Pictus Catfish. Pretty awesome set up for around 65-70 bucks. Anyone else have any aquariums and some cool fish?

    Planning on picking up a 50 gallon tank from a friend of mine for cheap and some bigger supplies when the time comes. Also like to add a few wild but neat fresh water fish..ideas or tips?

    A couple of my buddies were real big into all types of fish and had some pretty big aquariums filled, but the one recently converted to exotic lizards!

    Are pirahnas illegal or something?

    EDIT - Nevermind... i just reread this sentence and I think he meant "why buy when you can get them for free" since he knows someone giving them away, and since he's a police officer the deal should be on the up and up.
