The Newest Addition: Baby Goldfish

Post by ILoveLola »

I've been skimming Craigslist for a couple days now for a new aquarium. My dad and I talked and decided he would not be bringing me the 55 gallon in two weeks for any number of reasons (such as he wants to set it up again, my fiance and I will likely be moving a LOT since he is in the navy, it might not even fit in the car, etc, etc).
Well, I had really gotten excited about getting a new aquarium/fish, so I figured a small tank would suffice for now. Found one that I liked and mentioned it briefly to my fiance while he was on his way home and I was on my way to work. We were also planning on selling our TV on craigslist, and the guy was supposed to contact us today about when he was going to get it. I told Gage he could get on my email to communicate with the prospective buyer.
When I got home today, and he had in fact corresponded with the guy buying our TV. He also corresponded with the guy selling the aquarium, and went and picked it up while I was at work! So I came home and viola, a new aquarium!! I am so spoilt. :smitten:
