For those out there that are having a hard time finding the right tank for their fish/reptiles...be patient. I have been looking for a 20-gallon tank for 2 months & have found that Walmart wants about $80-$100 for their full setups (sans gravel & decor) & Petsmart is about the same. Smaller hole-in-the-wall shops like Scamps want that or more for theirs. I have been patiently looking at garage sales & 2nd-hand stores. At a garage sale yesterday I saw a used setupo w/gravel that would have to be dumped for $80. The guy wouldn;t come dowen on the prise even when I told him I could get a BRAND NEW setup for $80. Then I went to 3 Goodwill stores & at the last one I found 1 FULL 20-gallon setup w/stand for $22. They were having 50% off their green tags & the stand & tank both had green tags!!! I got an awesome tank for only $11!!!! I brought it home, cleaned it really good, boought new gravel & a net breeder & put all the stuff from my paradise fish tanks into it & I love it!! So please be patient & a deal may come your way. They ARE out there. Good luck in your search!!!

thats a great deal! Just make sure it is made to hold water, or your have some problems. Good luck!

So far so good. Everyone seems happy. Especially me lol.

can you post a pic of your paradise fish? i would like to see them.

I'm relatively new at this posting thing. O'd luv to show you my "babies" but I'm not sure how posting pics works....maybe youcan tell me.

i would like to post some pics of my fish so you guys can see them. Im tagging along.

I don't have my own web page & it swon't seem to let me send any pics otherwise.

i dont have a web page either but robyn knows a way we can do it.

If you e-mail me a small jpg photo, I can post it up on my site and hence onto this forum. It may take me a little time to process them though.

cool im gonna do that when i find the time.

Thanx loads RObyn...I'll do that pronto :)

val we should make a thread where everyone can post pics!

That'd be cool. I already send Robyn my pics. Now we'll wait patiently as I imagine she's super busy. The pics of Eden will be bigger because she gets closer to the front of the tank. She's the brown one. Pari's beautiful blue & red.

Yay!!! My pics are up! Aren't they gorgeous? I put live plants in their tank (philodendrons, just the roots in the tank) so that he will hopefully build a nest. He keeps building & tearing down. Plus the roots will give any fry a place to escape from mama. Enjoy the pics & thanx again Robyn.

some nice fish you got there val!
