Bombshocked

my comment wasnt made to offend people, ive earnt everything ive got and if u dont like it dont give a fairy.... ive been working since i was 15 years old never got a hand out from no one i deserve everything ive got.

the reason i was outside smoking so much at the last auction... the room was so full i couldn't even stand it and the freaking ammount of sick people there i was hoping if i filtered all the air i ingest whilst around the germs through the burning cigarette tip it would be sanitary to breathe

I am not here to offend anyone but you smoke $360 in a week, well I'm too embarrassed to tell you what I spend on holidays, fishing, dinner etc

this is the point im trying to make, keeping fish isnt a dick measuring contest

It's a bit rude saying stuff like that considering some people might think it's a lot of money

well these people need to wake up because if u aint got 360$ how the hell are u gonna buy a house or support your self

lol i like it how u all claim like 360$ is alot of money, i smoke that in a week

Posting that there is crap ones being sold and ruining the hobby but not saying who's selling them seems pretty pointless to me, in my opinion

agreed atleast if you were purchasing some africans (i dont like them so i wont be) anyways you could be like, hey did you get the parent stock off so and so and if they said yes you would avoid them like the plague

and as for paying for quality yea its great theres a handfull of guys around who pay for what they want i class myself as one of them...but majority of people getting into the hobby just get some Bns and elec yellows maybe some tetras and after a few years they move on,

just a slap together low tech job

lol if you want quick cash, better get a job this isnt a money making game,

if you keep fish tanks you will quickly be racking up the 1000$ of dollars spent to buy/maintain/stock your tank/tanks

breeding fish for me is about watching the parental nature of dwarf cichlids and i also like the general increased need for me to be playing with my tanks (increased water changes and feeding) watching the fish grow and colour up is the best reward

if your breeding fish, dont just go to the LFS and get 2 fish from the same batch because there more then likely related ask the owner buy your fish from REPUTABLE dealers..... Research your fish species then source the best quality breeding stock, sometimes it might be a year or 2 before you find a nice specimen but if you really want to help the hobby evolve, dont breed/sell hybrids or subquality/deformed fish to others get a big fish and use them as feeders or whatever.....

IF you want to start breeding fish you have to be prepared to cull(KILL) deformed/sub quality fish AND have the tank space to seperate the breeding pairs if it is nessecary due to lack of demand on the market or lack of tank space for raising fry.

just my 2 cents lol

i got a soft spot for black angels.....

. If the species of finfish is NOT on the Federal Live Import List and not on the WA noxious fish list (and are not WA native or endemic)
Aquariums and businesses already selling the fish species surrendered are able to accept and resell the fish as long as they are already widespread in the aquarium trade in Western Australia and you can meet the requirements set out in Regulation 64*.

if only it was a cheapo tin shed, its got full ceiling brick walls and it still smells like a burnt peice of wood, hopefully it goes away soon,

ok here is what happend since i made that post,

put wood on to boil

do some wc  ,moss some wood , mix ferts, leave fish tanks ( shed ) ,browse ebay, eat, watch movie, come back on pcs check out my comment about flamethrowering said wood

Then i remembered, Holy Sh*t i put wood on to boil about 3 hrs ago flew into the shed opened rollerdoor and it was thick white haze had to emergency shut down air pump and crank up the industrial fan, you couldn't see 2ft infront of you...... when i tryed to stop the wood from being onfire inside the pot, i put it under the tap and the bottom of the freakin pot fell off

smoked out the neighbour hood but luckily i checked this post because it reminded me about the wood haha

it can be removed via flame thrower/weed burner

I want to know how to cure dropsy

euthanasia

whats the go with bidding on your own lots..........pushing them higher and higher i was bidding against a certain seller on his own items, effectively shill bidding me, got home and felt pretty deceived/pissed

i bet they were fighting over that sweet clay pot plant tilted on its side, probably just establishing territorys pecking order etc

even tho it says washed make sure u wash it

just a tip, if you get the flood lights they may be cheap but if you wire them yourself and your house burns down don't expect insurance to give you a cent
