-- Posted by blufindr at 1:07 am on Nov. 16, 2008 I've seriously spent about $1500 on my fish since September-ish. Granted, I bought a new tank too. But still. They're fucking spoilt. They better be happy -- Posted by TheAntiBarbie at 1:08 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Wow. That's a lot of money to spend on fish! Are they at least cool exotic ones? -- Posted by angelsexyme123 at 1:08 am on Nov. 16, 2008 wow -- Posted by sdkarr at 1:08 am on Nov. 16, 2008 wow. thats alot -- Posted by Solitude at 1:08 am on Nov. 16, 2008 lol -- Posted by dreamweaver at 1:08 am on Nov. 16, 2008 lol Lucky little boogers. Planning on breeding and selling? -- Posted by sdkarr at 1:08 am on Nov. 16, 2008 i thought i was crazy for paying $75 for my kitten -- Posted by roflfuckyou at 1:08 am on Nov. 16, 2008 I KNEW THIS WOULD BE YOUR TOPIC i love your fishies -- Posted by blufindr at 1:09 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from TheAntiBarbie at 8:08 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 Wow.

Planning on breeding and selling? Yes. Platies go for about $10/pop. A couple of my platies are pregnant. Supposing all the fry survive, that's about $100 I can make back per pregnant fish. Course, the profit would only be about $5 once you count in food, water, electricity etc. But still. Pretty good for FISH. -- Posted by blufindr at 1:10 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from roflfuckyou at 8:08 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 I KNEW THIS WOULD BE YOUR TOPIC i love your fishies But you haven't come to visit them yet... -- Posted by roflfuckyou at 1:12 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from blufindr at 8:10 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from roflfuckyou at 8:08 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 I KNEW THIS WOULD BE YOUR TOPIC    i love your fishies But you haven't come to visit them yet...

Lulz. -- Posted by Lulamae at 1:24 am on Nov. 16, 2008 I didn'T know you could actually spend that much money on fish... -- Posted by blufindr at 1:27 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from Lulamae at 8:24 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 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. -- Posted by dreamweaver at 1:32 am on Nov. 16, 2008 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. BUT I can tell it's mainly a hobby, and that usually is worth it. -- Posted by blufindr at 1:38 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from dreamweaver at 8:32 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 But compared to how much you put into it already...?

BUT I can tell it's mainly a hobby, and that usually is worth it. 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. -- Posted by dreamweaver at 1:40 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Still take you more than a year before you start making money... *shrugs* Fish are fun to have though- not going to lie. I have my frog and fishes, myself. :) -- Posted by blufindr at 1:42 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Hah, cool! 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. -- Posted by dreamweaver at 1:54 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Oh dear... my bf wants a python. I think he's crazy, personally. lol -- Posted by blufindr at 1:57 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Lulz. They're actually very intelligent animals, and can become tame. You just have to try to get them young, some of the larger ones can be very strong. I know someone who's had her python grab her arm in a vice lock and refused to let go until it was fed. We used to have a carpet python, but the fucker escaped It was about 2m long, too. Soo -- Posted by dreamweaver at 1:58 am on Nov. 16, 2008 He basically just wants a snake he can handle whenever he wants. :S So I'm a little worried he might not actually be able to handle it. And for some reason, he won't settle for something smaller for the time being. -- Posted by blufindr at 2:03 am on Nov. 16, 2008 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. -- Posted by dreamweaver at 2:07 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from blufindr at 5:03 am on Nov. 16, 2008 See if he can get a small python.

I don't know about Australia, but pythons are not natural in this area. More like copperheads, rattlers, and queen snakes. -- Posted by blufindr at 2:11 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from dreamweaver at 9:07 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from blufindr at 5:03 am on Nov. 16, 2008 See if he can get a small python.

Urgh, poisonous snakes really aren't good to keep for a first-timer. -- Posted by dreamweaver at 12:54 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 lol, I know... I was just giving you an idea of what kinds of snakes are in this area. -- Posted by babybluebitch at 4:40 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 i got  betta's and  gold fish
