Have a case of MTS, but having trouble explaining to your parents/spouse/landlord/evil overlord/etc. why you need a new tank? Just borrow one (or more) of these handy excuses, and blow them away with the pure force of your logic! :Angel:

-You see three setups in the classifieds

-You have such a wide variety of fish foods that you need a wider variety of fish to feed them to

-You read on AC that your 10 1” oscars won’t do well in a 10g – only one 10” in a tank this size, dummy! (kidding, but why is it ALWAYS a 10” oscar in a 10g used to argue against the inch-per-gallon rule?)

-It’s important to test the structural integrity of the floor to its very limit

-They’re breeding, they’re breeeeding :eek:

-You need bigger, more predatory fish to consume your roommate’s tasty remains (along with a nutritionally complete staple food, of course)

-You bought too much gravel for the last tank, and need another one to use it in

-Maybe if you had a few more tanks you could charge admission! :dance:


I know you guys can think of more…
 
"Because I can."

I use that a great deal when questioned about my motives.
- why I bought another 10G
- why I bought another 20G
- why I bought 50G
- why my hubby is going to find out we are going to Hawaii :)
 
if i don't get a new tank what am i supposed to do with all this water?

Having multiple tanks rasies the property value of my apartment.

My betta doesn't get along with any other fish, he needs his own tank.

I need a quarantine tank for my quarantine tank...don't wanna introduce anything into my hospital tank....wait i think i need a quarantine tank for my quarantine tank's tank, to be on the safe side i better get a quarantine tank for my quaratine's tank tank .....the answer u should hear is: uhhh ok?

I just go out to my husband with these big brown eyes...I must have a certain look, because he always says, I quote "You don't have time for any more animals...". Then I proceed to convince him through my flawless female logic ("Honey, but he's soooooo cute.....and I'll need a place to keep him")....welcome to a window into my world...
 
But...that fish is being kept in such bad condition, and is not compatible with the fish I have.

I JUST found out it needs brackish water..my others are fw!
 
That's what I'm talkin' about. This excuse put the jelly on the bread:dance2: .
37g Tank on the left side of the desk, 37g tank on the right side of the desk.
I tried to get it with the desk in the middle to show the symmetry but my camera would not allow a wider shot.

the other shot is just a peak into the jungle of the 180g
