Yeah more than likely. I couldn't find people on aquabid that would sell one or two. Everyone was selling 6 or more mostly that's why I got 6 :)

If I'm not answering, I'm probably at work. I usually get on in the late evening my time (listed timezone below)

Pronouns are they/them and you can call me Starfalling, M, or Morgan. I'm in Pennsylvania which is on EST (CStime -4)

I love trading, although I'm recently back from a long hiatus so I'm not fully up to date on demand. For any current event pets, I’ll only trade them away if I have a double, and I don't trade growing pets Real life got hectic and I somehow missed the whole month of May on here. Looking for all May pets, will keep WL updated as I go

I use bold a lot because it's easier for me to read, since you can't change other people's font size and being zoomed in constantly is annoying

I am a holibomber!
Sig was getting long, my counts have been moved to trade rules

How many tanks do you have: Four
Type of fish that you have: I have four common goldfish (used to be five but one recently passed on ono) in a one hundred and seventy five gallon, a halfmoon betta male and four pygmy cories in my planted ten gallon tank, two dwarf puffers in my fifteen gallon tank, and three fancy goldfish in a sixty gallon.
Your fish's names: Honestly, I am a terrible person and have not named my fish yet. I always think of a name, but later decide that it just doesn't fit them. However, one of my comets is named 'Golper'.
How long have you had fish: I do not even remember. My parents had fish when I was little, but they were not 'fish smart.'

Yay new thread! I love that there are people who love their fish as much as I do. I spend way too much time on my fish, but I enjoy every minute of it. :D After my part-time job, school, and sports I spend hours a day checking their water and staring at them. My friends don't understand, but oh well. x3

ATTENTION: There is a poll up to help us decide our new banner. Please vote! C: We'll be doing another poll for the badges once the banner has been decided.

So I just got back home after being away for over a month. I'm going to try and update the members list right now but it's already 11 pm here so I'll try and get as much done before I pass out ^_^

Starburstkitten: If you could please fill out the form that would be great! Also could you fill out the information refering to the tanks for both the tank your fish are in now and the one they will be moving into? Thanks!

Should we use the questions for everything? I think easy questions like this would be ok to not use it, it would be helpful to make sure their tanks are ok and provide helpful info for them though.

I clean out a ziplock bag and add water from their tank in the bag, just enough to cover their fins. Tape the bag on the rim of the new tank and let the bag sit in the new tank for 10 minutes to match the temp then I take a small cup and add just under a half of that cup every 15 minutes.

I spend too much time and money on my tank. Its already cost me over $600 dollars and I am not close to finishing it. XD

Edit: Here Kiara, I made it a little code box for the questions. Maybe people will see it better.
Code: Select all
How many gallons is your tank? :
How many fish and what types are they? :
How long has it been running? :
Did you cycle it? :
If possible what are the ammonia nitrite and nitrate levels? :
What is the issue or question? :

Can anyone help me on this? My orange shoulder tang has been kicking up the sand(swimming really fast then stopping and angling upward) almost like a horse rearing. He's also "dug" himself a hole under some of my rocks. Is this normal behavior?
