got the neons

[cocoa_pleco]

i got 5 neons. my lfs had them 3.64$ each, but a sale with 5 for 8$. Theyre jumpy, and one looks like it was through WW1, WW2, vietnam, and the cold war. Its got a HUGE gash on one side, and it just acts like normal and schools. Otherwise, theyre good

...seems a bit expensive...but I haven't bought any for a while...

...hopefully you managed to get your hands on a hardy lot!

...I didn't get anything so exciting...but I'm still pleased with my new:

Laser MOUSE!!!:19:

My old mouse died, so I treated myself to a new one!!! No more cord to help clutter my desk! Woohoo!

[xoolooxunny]

cool, are they goin in a tank by themselves? My lfs has neons for 1.99, and then cardinals are 3.99. I should have got a bunch for their 50% off FW fish sale! I could have gotten like 20 of em!

[cocoa_pleco]

ive had wireless ones for a few years. It sucks when you drop them. At least with a cord you can grab the cord in the nick of time.


some corys are gonna have to wait. At 6$ each, i need 4 and i already spent 50$ today

[Abbeys_Mom]

Geez, Neons are always 5 for $5 here.

[Rue]

...hey! Betcha you're the guy to ask!

In as few words as possible...what the difference between an optical cordless mouse and a laser cordless mouse...

...I'm assuming the laser is better (and considerably more expensive)...and so I bought it...but the store was busy and I didn't want to tie up a clerk asking...

[cocoa_pleco]

optical has the ball on the bottom i think, and laser has the red laser. All of mine are lasers.

WTF. Im always paying more for fish. I always go to super pet, and sometimes petsmart, never petcetera anymore. They ditched the 2 for 1, and neons are 4$ each there, and a 6 inch bubblestrip is 12$!

Why am i paying so much? And superpets store prices vary too. at one, snow white soccolofis are 9.99, and at another one 12.99

[Rue]

PetSmart is buying a bunch of SuperPets! That should make life easier for you!

...thanks for the answer regarding the mouse...which I'm enjoying very much!

[cocoa_pleco]

superpet often takes good care of its fish though. Their oscars are in WAY better condition now. Theyre not laying down half-dead.

[Chrona]

I think so far my fish are the least expensive thing in my tank......well maybe except for the 9 year old Whisper HOB....lol

[cocoa_pleco]

9 Years old? WOW

i bought half my heaters at a old crap store for 2$ each, anda aquaclear mini, and all are reliable

[Chrona]

Yeah, still alive and kicking. I'm anxiously waiting for it to die out so I can justify an Eheim 2213 canister ;)

Or maybe I'll get a new 10g tank. Mine is as old as the HOB filter and has some scratches that kinda scare me.

[Lady Hobbs]

So why did you buy one that had a big gash on his side?

They were expensive. I had a fit because where I go they wanted $2.50.

[cocoa_pleco]

i just somehow got him. Hes healthy, no worries.

[wijnands]

Perhaps a batch of neons caught in the wild? I know there's still cardinals on the market that are caught in brasil.

[cocoa_pleco]

i had my african butterfly imported from somewhere in africa. It was well worth it.

[tetra11]

congrats on the new fish!

[cocoa_pleco]

they got moved to the tetra 20g. the one 20g is loaded with tetras, and 1 auratus cichlid.
