I didn'T know you could actually spend that much money on fish...

---

New tank: $900
Food: roughly $50
Plants: $50

That's already $1000

Medication, water treatment, other chemicals: $100
Tank decorations to keep them happy: $100
Assorted invertebrates to keep the water quality good: $25

What's that, like $1250?

The other $250 were spent on assorted crap, tank cleaners, nets, hoses and pipes and such.

They're very, very spoilt fish.

Must I prove to you how good we are together?

BUT I can tell it's mainly a hobby, and that usually is worth it.

But compared to how much you put into it already...? I can't see how that is making you money. I don't know how often Platies get pregnant or anything, but it would take quite some time to make back all that you've spent on them.

3 female platies + 2 male platies?

That's about $500 every... 3 or 4 months?

I also plan to do the same for guppies.

No, not a business. But darn, it's fun.

Fish are fun to have though- not going to lie. I have my frog and fishes, myself. :)

I'm gonna try to get a water python sometime in the near future. Having my own ecosystem in my living room makes me feel like playing God, lulz.

Plus I gotta put both tanks to use somehow

Besides, I don't really care about making money. They're pretty, they're starting to develop very different personalities of their own, and it's cute watching them fight over food.

See if he can get a small python. Not only are they easier to manage, and very much cheaper, he can also find another home quite easily should he choose to not keep it.

I don't know about Australia, but pythons are not natural in this area. More like copperheads, rattlers, and queen snakes.

Yeah, pythons aren't indigenous to this part of Australia either.

Urgh, poisonous snakes really aren't good to keep for a first-timer.
