    I had some neons that we "rescued" and dammed if they didn't always try to get themselves sucked into the siphon. Had a couple close calls! :rofl: :lol:

    LOL. Yup. I've had many small guppies go for a free ride all the way to the basket! It's at least a half inch plastic tube.

    Speaking of neons, I just added five of them into the smaller tank with guppies in it. And I put an ad on Craigslist to sell some guppies. I have way too many! I must have 50 small babies. Must move some adults. LOL

    Undergravel filters usually create more issues than they help the tank out, in the longer run at least.

    I know just enough about salt to understand the work and care and knowledge to do a tank like that. WOW!

    My wife had a 10gal with some Mollys in it. (Dalmatian Mollies?). We were new to fish at the time and I remember noting that they give birth to live young, which I said, cool but they will prolly never breed in captivity right?

    Ha. Ha. Ha.

    I woke up one day to see some tiny specks swimming around in the tank. At first, I thought I had some kind of parasite brought home from Petco (tank was maybe 2-3 weeks old?) and then I realized that I had about a bajillion little baby fish swimming around! Never had to buy the wife fish again!! :rofl: :lol:

    It feels wrong drinking egg nog with the windows open at 65 degrees.

    Have a safe evening everyone.

    Post pictures when it happens. We'll have to live vicariously here at my house.

    No snow here, and only far northern Wisconsin will have a white ( barely) Christmas.

    Most of you are probably off with family and friends just a friendly reminder to save the juices from your Christmas ham - check the smoke house in the morning;)
