The AquaBid Thread!

AB is torture for me, and yet I keep coming back to it shaking my fist saying "one day!"

[ravenwinds]

Tell me about it! I still think we should form a support group...we could call ourselves ABA...

It's funny when I read what you guys write about what's in your head...your justifications...they are almost the same as mine...its like "hey! How'd you know what I was thinking!"

On another note: all of us here come from around the world, have different upbringings, are different ages, sexes, and races, come from different socioeconomic levels....and yet, we all are having the same thoughts and feelings! Maybe the next time someone says something prejudiced against another person or group, if one of us is around, we could point this example out: we really are so much alike! :)

Yes, the Betta bug is very widespread! You are not alone! I think we all may need a bit of counseling :p a support group sounds like a great idea (though we would probably feed into each others addictions, at least we wouldn't feel alone LOL).

+1 to this!! We should really come up with a name for this addiction. (Other than the betta bug;) )

I have found that bettas are the "gateway drug" so to speak (They Might Be Giants fan) ...then its NPTs, corie cat fish (my emeralds are breeding out of control...on F3 generation...every time I do a water change (about 2x every 6wks, they get a partial since its a newer NPT)...they spawn! And let's not forget the gouramis,and my shoal of rainbows....and it all began with 1 2.5g and 1 betta! LOL!

Now, I am researching a vivarian for poison dart frogs...which I only found out about because it seems over half of your freshwater shrimp breeders also do dart frogs and they are gorgeous!
....did I forget to list the shrimp? Tangerines tigers, blue velvets, and RCS....which all need their own NPTs since if they're housed with fish, they tend to feel a bit hunted (go figure) and will lose color and hide...the ones that don't, get eaten...

Did you guys know that all of this can be found on Aquabid, except the dart frogs, of course! :)

I am such an addict!
This guy is on a FB page, and the seller is selling him to me for the most amazing price, so I put him on hold....now, I'll have to work my butt off for the next few days so I can pay for him and transhipping! It'll be we'll worth it, but a pain in my ass. It really is an addiction!

Agreed. This one with a full white mask if hard to ignore. I was tempted too.

Thanks! I'm hoping I can come up with enough money for him soon!
