Pipe Dreaming

Post by mrgreen »

I'd like to someday get a Dogface. I'd thought of Stars n Stripes but they require MUCH more room. Then again, if its a pipe dream, why not?

why would it be a pipe dream? is there a major something preventing you from ever getting it?

You can have any puffer you want as long as you give them the proper tank size. ;)

Well I'm not saying never, just that I am living somewhere kinda small right now. He'd cost several hundred dollars as they only tank I have is my 5 gallon hex for my dwarf puff. I'd love to do a full salt - over 100 gallons. There is a beautiful dogface at my lfs.

At least your doing the right thing, some people would just go out and buy one and keep it without the intention of upgrading at all :)

And I wanna have some clownfish. And now I want cowfish too. And a fahaka, and a mbu, and a GSP, and a yellow betta, and marine hermit crabs, and also maybe some figure 8s, and someone to write my final papers for me... OOOOOH and an octopus and a ferret.

Hm...After you finish collage you'll get it.
Instead of an octopus what about an octo-mom?
