Do any of you ladies (or whoever happens
across this post) keep fish as a hobby?
If so what are some good online sites for
aquarium filters and heaters?! My fishies
need an upgrade.

i always always use PETCO.
Its where the pets go. ^_^ And they have
reallllly good prices.
Also try Petsmart.com.. if you find a sale
on there, print it out and take it to the
store, they'll honor it and give you the
same price.. and no shipping to pay for
^_^

I went to the petco site, and they had a
sale at the time so I called the store to
see if they had that filter.....but they
don't carry the same things as the online
store does, and they do NOT price match.
And we don't have a petsmart around here.
I have 3 sites up right now, and they each
have a couple things in the cart....but
I'm not sure which site to use 
They are all right around $50 for my
things, plus shipping....or the 1 site is
free shipping for $50 or more

petco is a really neat place to go an
thats where we get all of our pet stuff
do you have any fish stores around the
area you live? we have a few tropical fish
places here but if you have them around
your area you may need to check them
out!!! what kind of fish are you dealing
with?

All the pet places around me are too high
priced. So I'm looking online to get a
better price. Tho they always stick ya
with the shipping. It's not something
that I absolutely need right this second,
because the filter and heater work (so
far, they're really cheap ones that came
with the set up) and my filter has died so
many times and one of these days it's
gonna die and I won't be able to fix it
again. And the heater is not reliable and
doesn't keep a steady temp. Thankfully
these guys are pretty hardy.
They are Malawi Cichlids, PS. Saulosi to
be exact. I've had them nearly 2 years
now, and they still aren't full grown

Yeah, those things breed faster than
rabbits. They are too common for my taste.
I had to chose a fish I couldn't get
around here. But I finally found someone
online that had them. I'm glad I didn't
give up my search tho, I love these guys.

My nephew had a baby bearded dragon. He
was pretty cool. And as pretty as
saltwater tanks are, I couldn't do it. I'd
kill all the little Nemo's
I'm still trying to understand the
freshwater system. Maybe I'll do saltwater
in the next lifetime.
I do have a clown loach tho. I bought him
a couple years ago to clean up my snail
problem.

yeah me and trav went to this exotic pet
store to look at mini pot belly pigs
because i wanted one. he saw all of the
scorpions and terantulas and wanted one of
those first...hehe helllllll noooo!!!!!
so then he wanted a snake...once
again...over my dead body. then we looked
at the beardies and he wanted one of
those. so i told him yeah since i could
deal with a lizard instead of a huge snake
or scorpion thingy 
but bearded dragons are expensive
weve spent a few hundred putting the tank
together...and we dont even have the
dragon yet lol

My aunt has had 2 pot bellied pigs.
Webster and Andre. She doesn't have them
anymore, I forget why....maybe because
they moved. But they were like dogs, they
would go outside to use the bathroom and
such. However they root like mad on
anything they can
I've always wanted a monkey....but they
can be very mean, so that changed my mind.
When my daughter is older I want to get
her a mini-lop. I used to always have
rabbits and they are my favorite. I hope
she's going to be an animal lover like me.
So far things are looking good.

Beardies are pretty cool pets. They get
pretty large (about two feet from heard to
tail) when they are larger. Make sure you
get the correct lighting in the (UVA AND
UVB) and calcium dust their crickets to
prevent metabolic bone disease.
Can you tell We are reptile people?
As far as fish go, my boyfriend is on a
kick to get archer fish. 
He always wants something new.
