Quote: look at me... or you can use vinegar and neutralize the burn.
About Yourself: I have always been mesmarized by fish, especially moon jellies (and other invertabrates). I especially get off on fish from different continents not killing each other. We could all learn a lesson.
Fish Kept: an ultimate mixture of deuschebag pet store favorites: 2 medium balas, 2 stupid-as-hell albino korys that can't even find their cave, 3 male and 1 continuously preggo zebra danios, a very aggressive standard pleco, best red halfmoon betta alive, angriest black ghost knife ever, and one fat ass black mollie
Corals/Plants: not acceptable to discuss, but have you noticed that all new Pearl Jam is much better than the last 5 albums?
Tank Size: 55 gallons
Advice: Mollies and male bettas are an enjoyable and non-lethal mixture of hatred
