You Say Goodbye...I Say Hello...Hello Hello
On a Saturday this past October, we said goodbye to the three common goldfish Matt purchased for about .30 cents each (when he was in high school). They were healthy happy but were being evicted from their home because some other fish needed to move in - and out of our house. So the three Fantail's moved into the 10 gallon tank in Matt's room...and got ready to be transported to their new home.
In the meanwhile, the 29 gallon tank was filled with the new cichlids because we didn't have the new tank yet.
Jared had arranged a spot for the tank, so we loaded up the truck and moved to Hiawatha (just the fish silly).
A gallon of water weighs about 8 pounds. so we emptied the tank about 1/2 way so it could be carried up three flights of stairs (yes they live on the top floor). Got the tank over to Jared & Ashley's, but when Terry said where are we putting it...and Jared pointed to the glass end table..(insert screeching breaks here)..Ah that won't work. Fully loaded the tank would weigh 80 pounds and bust through the glass. So Terry and I hopped in the truck in search of a 10 gallon tank stand. After about an hour and no luck, we return to Jared's and said, we'll get a stand, and then bring it back. So the goldfish are now back in Matt's room until we can find a black 10 gallon stand for Jared & Ashley. Hello Craigslist!
