Damn done it again

[appleblossom]

I have just finished my degree and am applying for work near my dads house so of course, I decided I needed some fish to populate this otherwise fish barren home. I have set up a heated filtered bowl for a betta, an 8 gallon brackish tank for some bumble bee gobies and a puffer, and when I went to the lfs earlier to buy some plastic plants for the bowl, and some rocks for the brackish tank, I noticed they had an order of new tanks in, and accidentally bought a 10 gallon bow front coldwater tank with light and filter for £36.50 So I now have a home for some ADFs!!

All the tanks are empty with media maturing in established tanks....and I'm having to sort out all my stuff to sell at a car boot to make space in my tiny room...everything must be sacrificed for the fish!!

How can you accidently buy a tank?

 

[SailfinGirl]

Sorry if that sounded rude, I thought your post was quite funny. lol.

Hey Im glad you started this post. That gives me an evil idea. B) I think when I come home with a new tank in a few weeks I will tell my bf it was anaccident.
ya think he'll buy it?

It can happen all too easily. I went to a LFS to exchange an algae scraper my girlfriend bought (she got one for an acrylic tank, mine's glass) and walked out with a 30g tank, heater, lights, filter, air pump, gravel, plants & rock

Went in with a £2 algae scraper and walked out with £200 worth of kit..........and a £2 algae scraper

when my hubby took me shopping for my last tank he asked if i was going to do salt water. i told him that this was going to be a tropical community tank but the next one might be saltwater, then the next one will be discuc, then cichlid then i want a custom size for a stingray. he just sat there staring at me like i was nuts for already having half adozen tank planned right off the top of my head.

Thats funny

Infact a couple of months ago when I got my 3rd 55g tank I walked up to the door and siad to my wife.....It wasn't my fault It was a complete accident!!

Then she said Oh ok and walked off...not mad not nothing she infact acted normal and calm hehehe......Then 1 week after I got the tank she brought home a Brand new furniture!!!

2 leather sofas 2 leather love seats and a couple of kitchen chairs......Suprise suprise I deserved it LOL.....But then agian we needed new furniture.

So The next Time I want to buy a tank I have to wonder what My wife is going to bring home
