Help Distract Me?

[Turtle4353]

So I am looking to get a new fish tank and have found some good tanks on Craigslist that I've made offers for. The problem is, I am probably the most impatient person in the world so I keep compulsively checking to see if anyone has taken me up on the offers and it's driving me INSANE! Any tips to help me wait?!

Plan out your tank scape designs :)

Ooo ya. I want a semi planted tank with lots of fishes :)

What kinds of fishies? :)

[Turtle4353]

Bettas and guppies and tetras, oh my!

Ooh that sounds delightful! I recently started a little community tank, and I bought a school of 10 neon tetras, because they are so pretty... I've only got 4 left :'( Most of the dead ones had no tails, as though my piggish mollies had eaten them, 1 was in fine condition apart from being, well, dead, and 1 disappeared and I never found her *scratches head* Apparently, I'm as good with tetras as I am with plants! rawr. The mollies are doing well, though, even coming over and nibbling my fingers when I reach in the tank, and eating from my hand. :)

I really want to add a dwarf gourami in with them. Petco is supposed to be ordering some, but I'm hesitant because they are so sickly :(

Oh ya, I was considering oto's but they need pretty good water an with my little bro dropping in the odds and ends I didn't want to risk it. I love the neon of neon tetras, sorry about your loss though. :( My female sorority does the same as your mollies, they chew my hand off!

I haven't gone to petco though, I do mostly petsmart

[toad]

I have a Petco about 30 seconds from my house, which is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because this particular store is a very good one, and it's always clean, and the animals are cared for well. It's a curse because I end up in there 5 times a week to pick up things, etc.

I used to be a hardcore PetsMart lover, but the nearest one to me is at least an hour away, and I'm too lazy to drive that far :)
