So, I was at a LFS a few hours from my home and I saw a beautiful, fat, 2.5 inch GSP cruising a tank with a few Angel fish. I walked up to the glass, it swam up to the glass and gave me the sad puppy eyes. I started to walk away but I could feel the eyes burning in to the back of my head, I couldn't escape the stare! I went back and I told him that I do have a tank for rent, with a beautiful view, in the country if he's interested and I explaind the rules: it's no smoking and no parasites. Heat, water and sewer are included. He and I discussed it and we came to a deal on rent, I throw in food and snails and he provides more entertainment than I could ask for. For a bonus I told him I would pay for his transportation to the new place.
Hank came home with me on Wednesday and took up residence in my 55 gallon brackish tank. He's a happy healthy FAT little boy. I'll post pic once he's settled in....

Re: New GSP
Nice one Dadof4
A bit off topic but what are you planning on putting in the other 180g SW tank?
Are you going for a SW puffer?

Re: New GSP
Congradulations on your new "tenent". I'm sure that he will live a happy long life and talk a whole bunch. My GSP never talks to me .
