They are awesome fish, but out of my price range and size restrictions.

Yes you can get them here bluetongemad, they're real neat, keeping fish is easy, all I suggest is to get an external filter that 'll process water way bigger than you need, ie buy the filter for a tank twice the size as what you've, once your tanks established,if not over populated you can do water changes once a month, now cleaning a pet twelve times a year is not alot of maintenance is it?

at the moment i still go to school and have a very limited income, over the holidays i make a decent 1k a week or so ($1000) from various jobs with my uncle on a farm...the move to aus is no prob, a grand for the ticket and i have contacts i can stay with until i find a job and a place to live, the reptiles should be no big either as i have several thousand stashed away for this very thing..

i brought one tank, which i was told by the fish store owner man ( never believe him, he housed 6 bts together in a miniscual tank till they had all been sold, minimum of 2- 3 months, moron, he told me it would last two turtles until 2 years old, he was wrong and now i cannot buy a bigger tank because i live at home and mum and dad have said no more pets till i get my own place, so instead of buying another bigger 1500 dollar tank, i am saving up so i can have a bts and possibly a snake next year...i have people that breed these turtles so i can just give them to them when they get to big, the turtles love it lol, i assume

I had followed all of the directions I knew to follow. They were my first fish, and I realize I'm super inexperienced and all, but everything seemed fine, and then BAM! gone..

and I hear guppies are hardy and easy to care for.


It also matters where you got your fish from. If they came to you from a rotten source, chances are that they wouldn't survive. Also, its harder to maintain a small tank than it is a big tank. In smaller tanks the toxins are WAY more concentrated (think little kid peeing in an olympic sized swimming pool VS a paddling pool in the backyard) and can become deadly a lot faster. I like to see first time fish keepers start with at least a 29 gallon.

Wow! I must say it is actually pretty addicting. Ok, now for the dumb question, Is that a real language? or just various noises that sound cool together?

It's a scene from "Bleach," I think. My friend Tim has the actual artist that does the song, Eastern European of some sort. It's a real language. Polish? Czech? :noknow:

Fine, if you want something more direct, have this:

It's way funny. And REALLY REALLY REALLY disturbing, so be forewarned. Animated violence and blood. Mature themes. Proceed with caution.
