So in Aussie we have Mother’s Day the 2nd Sunday of May each year. So this year I thought I’d asked for something.. to be honest I really don’t ask for anything and also prefer the kids handmade gifts. So I said to my husband ‘this year I would really like something for my fish tank’, instantly I got the eye rollSo I continued on and said ‘I would like a couple more cories’ ... well the stare came and the you don’t think you have enough? I said ‘a couple more to even it out and I’d be happy’. I got a few mutters and asked where to get them etc. I texted my daughter and said ‘I have let Dad know that I want a few cories for Mother’s Day’ and got the whole ‘really mum.. really for Mother’s Day’!!
It’s a hard life sometimes!!
Usually those who don't share the same hobbies as us will never understand us....LOL
It's too bad that you don't stay in my country, else I can get many fish for you...
Over here, the fish are pretty cheap (except for the rare/unique species).
And the local made aquariums are cheap too.
There are 2 fish stores within 10min walk and 6 fish stores within 15mins drive from my house.
We have many fish farms around the country, all within 30-45mins drive from my house.
Happy Mother's Day!

My kids wanted to buy me a 75 gallon tank for father's day, but the wife said no 
She was right to say no ( I need a bigger tank)

Lol that would be hilarious. I already have a few tanks, a dog, a cat, and 10 chickens. We rehome our bearded dragon and chinchillas before we went back to NZ for a family emergency. Neighbors think we run a zooTell them, I've only got 200 tanks, I will quit when I have too many

So I have a 268lt tank are you suggesting I can comfortably fit more Colin.
As it stands I sit with 8 x albinos, 6 x bronze and 6 peppers maybe I need to even this ratio up

I get that all the time with hubby, ‘anyone would think we own a damn zoo. We can start charging entry fees’!
3 tanks, a dog and6 budgies is where we stand for now till i can convince him. I want a pig, the girls want chickens and ducks and a bearded dragon
We can legally have either a pig or 2 goats here so we might get a goat or twoI get that all the time with hubby, ‘anyone would think we own a damn zoo. We can start charging entry fees’!
