Continued from prior post...
As you know from our first auction adventure, we didn't really know what we were doing (as if we ever do). But we a bit more selective this time around. However, just before Jared arrived with our lunch, Terry was getting pretty disgusted at how cheaply the bags of cichlids were going....so he whipped out his cell phone and called up KJ and said.."lets make a deal".
He sold KJ the 29 gallon tank (that the goldfish were in) for the babies and decided to keep the 55 gallon were were trying to buy for ourselves. He said to me..."I thought you always wanted a tank with cichlids?"
I have to say...he got me there. I am mesmerized by their different colors. Somewhat like I am with the angel fish. Well, then the "auction bug" caught Terry and he was in his element now...bidding on bags of cichlids.
This is all before we knew what the heck the experts were talking about. KJ always said you can't mix African cichlids with South American cichlids.
Since Terry likes to keep the action going, he bid $1.00 on a bag of baby fish no one wanted, got a bag of yellows for six bucks, a catfish for $9....we spent less than we did the first auction and came home with about 27 fish.
By this time, Jared had shown up with our McDonald's and we had been discussing where to put the 55 gallon tank he was trying to get and where in the world were we gonna put the three gold fish because if we put them all in the 10 gallon tank in Matt's room, then we are back to the problem that started this whole mess...some goldfish picking on the others. Geezzz.......
Ah Hah! Jared...how would you like to have some goldfish? We have the perfect tank for you...all ready to go, we can even give you food and gee, won't Chance (the cat) LOVE to watch them all day long when you guys are at work? (Hee Hee). Of course, he is his father's son (mine too) so he called Ashley and they talked about it. Her response was...."you have to take care of it so it doesn't smell". "I can do that" he said.
So everything was going to work out just fine! BUT WAIT....what do we do with the three original goldfish in Matt's room??
Terry said, "well you know...Petco has a tank for adoption fish. We (meaning me) just have to take them out there and give them up." Seriously? give up fish for adoption? No way....
