So I was put on a fish purchase moratorium by the wife. I picked up a new friend today for my 120. How many days till she notices the new fish and chews me a new one?

We have Misty's email address, so maybe not as long as you think... (cue the maniacal laugh)

No cheating Mike!

I didn't add him till almost lights out. I was very careful on the acclimation this time. It was going to be at least 1 day before I got in trouble.


what did you get?
My exquisite wrasse from a few months back disappeared. I was over at elegant yesterday and they had a large male so I'm taking another shot at one.

Please see above. I would be surprised if I made it past day 1. This fish is right front and center cruising back and forth. This is mainly done in jest. The only reason I kid is that it took her over 3 months to notice my splendid dottyback but most of the times she catches me about 2 minutes after the fish hits the water.

She got a baby regal angel in her tank. And I was suppose to get a redsea regal that was 3" and it came in 5+. But at less than $ 100 I guess I can't complain? But the next 30 days will tell

I will have to remember the World Holiday! I just hope it doesn't die, I will definitely be toast.

Cory: Oh well if the original wrasse disappeared maybe it was just hiding in the sand! and now it's back. Lucky you. :)

Oh I like that. I'll have to go check Craiglist and see what kind of Anniversary Ponies they have for sale there...

The tank is an in-wall build that faces our dinner table. It's going to be hard to miss. Birthday/anniversaries just passed. No way I can make it 10 months.

Labor Day maybe? That's the gamble in this whole thing. If it lives we can get away with it, because we picked up beautiful fish for a good price. But if it dies, the proverbial poopie will hit the fan.

Possible false positive on my sarcasm meter? Nah, same as every other husband. You can paint the house, mow the yard, make dinner, and draw her a bath. But slip up one bit and your back to nothing. But hey, we married the type of gals that are worth it.

Thought about that, bit this one's way bigger and a little more colorful so no go. I'm showing her tonight. I had a gc for the store so it only cost me $35. I don't have as much riding on this as Alton.
