I think we all get hit with that. I started with a 10g with turtles, the
turtles have since out grown the tank and live in a nearby pond with lots of
other turtles. Now I have a 125g, 90g, 60g, 29g, 20g, 2.5g, beta bowl (I
know,I know,I know), and a 160g pond on my back porch. I also have a pool
out back and a fountain in my front yard and live across the street from a
canal, you get the picture. We all get a little crazy. My wife will attest
to that.

========================
My mother bought our first goldfish and a bowl. They promptly died. She
went back to the pet shop and bought a 2g metaframe tank. That was in 1952
when I was a kid. It had a SS frame and reflector. There was a bubble up
filter with angelhair, gray gravel and a few plants. She had guppies and
few snails in it. When we moved to a house when I was 11 I had my own room
so saved up my allowance and bought a 10g tank for my bedroom. I got
married and had the space so bought a 20Long, then a 30Long for tropicals
and fancy goldfish..... and had some 5s and 10s to do some betta breeding,
had loads of betta bowls and jars..... and it's been more and more tanks
ever since.
Right now I have two 55s set up, four 10s, six 1g betta tanks - that's
indoors. Outside I have 3 inground ponds. A 2000g of mixed koi, a 800g of
diamondscale koi, a 150g of Shubunkins and rosy reds, five 150g above ground
pools of goldfish, pond plants and fingerling koi and three (about) 680g
pools-tanks of shubunkins and assorted koi. Our place is turning into a
fish farm.

Please log in for more thread options Hey guys, since I've noticed some people still posting in my topic
(yay, it's active!!), can I ask if anyone knows an alternative to
metronidazole to treat hexamita? I can't seem to get any in Australia
and customs might have a problem with me importing it. Other than
that, I don't feel up to faking a gastric ulcer in order to get some,
plus they'll make me try an antacid first.

I'm in the USA so can't help you there. Maybe it's possible to find
mail-order or someone can ship it to you from here.
