who needs self control?

ionredline0260 · 04/22/2007, 06:51 PM

not me!

Picked up a dragon wrasse for my 29G today. Please no flaming, he is 1" currently and will be fine for the time being until I get the 75 gallon up and running. I'm looking at it like an extended QT period before he goes into the main tank.

Can't wait to see his adult colors, although his current coloring is very cool. Quite a deal for $13.50

Nice fish! Keep us updated on the upgrade.

Problems with control, uhmmm, you, me and the rest of the hobbyists out there.

Have fun, don't go broke.

I probably wouldn't have picked up this guy if it wasn't for the fact he was $13.50..For a good and healthy baby dragon wrasse it was too good to pass up (liveaquaria is $29.99).

Me too! nothing like speeding home with a new fish (or coral) in hand (or bag rather) and aclimating it

Yeah right! Went to the LFS today to see about replacing my Coral Beauty that died yesterday. Told the wife I'd be right back! 1 1/2 hrs later I came sneaking in to the house after spending $100 on two rocks!!!! On the bright side I got a cool leather, toadstool and wicked colorful red mushrooms out of the deal. I think I have all the control I need!!

Hmm...self control...reef tank...my wife is cracking up right now.

Nice wrasse!

REEFRHEAD · 04/22/2007, 09:31 PM

i def need like some serious self control with buying corals they add up soooo fast

but hey its only $$

bangaii man · 04/22/2007, 09:44 PM

I'm the luckiest guy out there, I actually send my wife to the store because she buys even more stuff than I would. I run to the car to see how many bags she brought home, It's an even better score if she takes a few of the kids with her!!!

Self control and moderation are not part of this hobby

He certainly is a handsome fellow: take care of him!

Just wait until your tank matures and you can trade in frags of your corals. Then the fun really begins, I have turned in almost $400 dollars wouth of stuff in the last 3 weeks. I am almost suffering from overload. LOL
