I used to rear and sell aquarium fish to the many local pet and department stores{Gayfer's, Grant's, Murphy's and Woolco and a few other long gone department stores} so my wife is putting me to the test.

I thought since I am setting up an aquarium I might as well do it right.

What da ya think.

A hutch for me and a cobalt for the wife. You probably noticed a few marbles in there too.

May throw in a few more in the future.

Hey guys thanks.

Hey Ron, The fish start going in today. I think Wayne has already been in there. I seem to be missing a bottle or two.

Hey Warren,

Nice aquarium.I used to breed fish aswell but the wife got asthma and they had to go. I sold to other fish dealers my surplus, especialy Guppy and Xifo. It's a delight to see them vivipars, "giving birth". I use to keep count to when they are due and move at the right moment the females in another tank with freshish water. In a couple of hours they were making little fish like... rabbits.

I even made and sold fish tanks. It seems like I knew that the glass is my passion but I didn't get it right from the first try. Better now then never.

If you got some big stuff the fish could live inside it.I had a 500 gal tank, in it I had a big old demijohn + I buried stuff in the gravel hopeing the catfish
would get into digging, but no luck.
I used to bring my fish in from my pond every year, and every year it meant a bigger tank.
As luck would have it a heron saved me from going to 800 gals,it took every one.Now I just have frogs, and my cat's really into legs. so it kinda works out.
The word WORK seems to be showing up alot.

Warren,
You know, I have some pieces that I think would look REAL good in a fish tank.  I was scouting back behind the old local glass factory, and they have glass slag pieces by the truck-load back there.  They're all colors (well, mostly blues), and with all sorts of angles.  They would really refract the light really nice in a tank, I bet.
Let me know if you want some...like I said, I can send you a truck-load

Tim
