Chin and I were talking, and I think that clownfish might be a possibility a few years down the road, if not sooner! But if I don't get going on my paper and get lower than a B in English, then my parents are going to kill me and there will be neither sooner nor later... I'm signing off! No, really, I am. Oh, who am I kidding? :) I'm getting a The Clownfish Forum account right now! I'm such a deadbeat. :lol:
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

why 3 big tanks just get all three of them and let them share the same tank. the valentini wouldnt be to happy though lol but the Dogface and the S&S would be just fine. so you would need 2 tanks

lolol

At monster fish keepers, I came across someone's huge tank build thread- he literally tore out the garage and built an L-shaped tank with HUGE fish. Now I *know* that was more than $5K. lol

I went to my lfs today just today look at lots of these fish "in real life"- wow are they colorful! I took some videos of a dogface and a lookdown- I put them in a thread I started here in the marine board called "lookdown fish".

Could have crossed one of my dream fish off my list the other day. The nile perch (Lates niloticus) saw one around 4" at wharf aquatics, looked fantastic, priced at £115 (if memory serves) worth that to me and probably would have paid it too, but it wasnt 100% onto dead/prepaired foods. And the fact that i couldnt guarentee that it would have been safe in one of my tanks i decided not to take the risk.

Also its a big fish when grown, + i just got my Barramundi a few weeks prior (lates sp.) and at £45 for a 9" a much better price. Hope you get one of your dream puffers at some point :)
