A miniature gourami. Interesting. Mine is getting HUGE compared to when I brought him home. He's a meathead now with a blonde (golden) girlfriend.
Post up your fish tanks/aquariums!

We've been waiting for the Rotkeil for 6 months now. They were supposed to call us when one came in. We've been over there about 10 times since then and every time they'd just sold out of them and we never got a phone call... Just excuses that they're hard to get a hold of 
Glad we will be picking him up in the morning
I'm still looking over the tanks. Robert really wants me to get the 29gal but I'm concerned about the height with plants. I don't want anything less than the 29. We were looking at the T5 HO tonight...lololol Do I need to get the 30" because it's a 30" tank of will the 24" work? I thought I read that the 24" would. I don't know. Everything is moving much faster now, because if things don't do well with Tobias in the tank with Eddie (EBJD), Eddie will be going in the breeder net for a short period while I quickly cycle the new tank. Then I won't be getting the puffer and doing that planted setup for an even longer period of time.

The 29 will be fine with a 24" light. The $1 per gallon sale at petco happens every 4-6 months so a bigger tank can be easily obtained for a decent price if needed.

Meet Jaws! He is getting huge. Getting to the point where I need to purchase at least a $500 tank for him.

Oh my! What is he?
Tobias (Rotkeil) is starting to pick on Eddie (EBJD) :\ I think Eddie might be going in my 29 gal instead of a puffer...

The 29 may be your best option with Eddie. Slow growers need there own space.

Holy smokes! That's crazy!
Yeah, he does seem to get depressed when he's alone though. Maybe I should get him a guppy

Get 3 giant danios. They wont hurt eddie and will keep him out and about. He will chase them but not be able to catch or eat them. They are a schooling fish so get at least three of them. The guppy will die by eddies mouth sooner or later.Holy smokes! That's crazy!

Yeah, everyone else is perfectly fine. I didn't see much of him on Friday. Saturday he was going black and hiding up against anything possible... I put him in the breeding net so he'd be safe and away from Tobias as he's been hiding a lot. Came back today...dead 
I really loved that little guy
