Christmas Fish Wish List

[CACAdmin]

It's now exactly 3 weeks until Christmas. People are beginning to do their Christmas shopping (or so it would seem by the number of people getting on the bus in front of the mall with multiple bags). Question is, do you often get fish-related stuff for gifts? If not do you figure it's because people have no idea what you would want or could use? Have you ever provided family or friends with a Christmas Fish Wish List?

Not exactly a fish, but fish related.

Does hubby know about this? :wink:

[Pamelajo]

:no: It was purely innocent, honest:Angel: I am old enough to be the mother of some of the younger ones around here. I could have wished for an older good lucking man to clean my tanks, but hubby won't clean them. Build a stand or do wiring for them, but cleaning them is out of the question.

Age doesn't matter when you have dazzling eyes and warm and inviting lips! :laugh: Oh boy, that was just too funny!
I would like an extra 6' on my fishroom with another twenty 5 to 15 gallon aquariums for killies!

I think that's pretty nice that he's supportive of your hobby and willing to give you a hand (even if it's not with tank cleaning).

[Ursus sapien]

I think Pamelajo has the right idea- services over goods any day. Attractive or homely, male/ female / or other, if they're willing to clean the prefilters once a week I would be a very happy man.

As for gifts and wish lists at Christmas, our odd little clan decided back in the early '80s to skip the winter gift giving tradition. We have the usual holiday dinners and get-togethers, eat too much, tease each other like grade schoolers. But gift giving is now something that happens randomly throughout the year.

Thanks for the morning chuckle Pamelajo:Smile:.
For the list I've got my heart set on a handful of Adolfoi corydora and another mitt full
of Celestial Pearl Danios. Hoping they'll be in today or tomorrow. :SoExcited:
The :ChargeIt:is going to be smokin.

[pyro]

I've got my heart set on a handful of Adolfoi corydora

Now that is a cory that I have been looking for! Please Santa... I've been good!

[Cashmere_socks]

I asked for tank decorations once and ended up with a really ugly, fake, pink coral thing... I wont ask again!

I do get filters sometimes, which is nice.

[Pamelajo]

Please Santa... I've been good!
Were you not just offering dazzling eyes and warm and inviting lipsto a stranger and that is being good? :eek:


:laugh:

[moose113]

LOL! You guys crack me up! This has been a pretty entertaining thread.

My brotheer once bought me a royal pleco for Christmas.

This year, what I want is that nice 125 gal tank I saw at Aquarium Services and the stand and canopy too. Oh and not fish related but I want another newfie pup.:wink:

[vince0]

For Christmas, I want someone to come and wash the gravel for the last four tanks I have to set up, and finish building/painting/staining my multiple tank stand. Work on it has pretty much stopped since I added fish tanks on it. It would be an espcially good chrismtas present if I was allowed to just sit and supervise while playing games on my laptop. One of these days, when I grow old and successful, maybe my dream will come true. For now though, looks like I'll have to wait till spring and my garage warms up, its much to cold at the moment to get anything done in there, and I'm to cheap to pay to heat it up.

[Dan_G_Calgary]

I just want stupid danios to spawn/hatch/grow. And stupid white cloud minnows. and stupid bettas.

that is all Santa.

Then I will be a good boy. /promise Can you just pay it forward for me santa?

[Blossom112]

I would really like it if hubby could purge some of his stuff he has collected throughtout his lifetime ...... That is attracting dust that I am very alergic to ....
And I hope he does not notice while he is at work , I have thrown out everything in the storage closit :mask: :wideeyed::twitcy:
I want to be dust free !

OH and to be 15 years younger that would be awesome! Santa PLEASE ........:CRY:

That is a guy thing... we keep everything and I am sure that if mrs pyro threw anything away, I wouldn't have a clue until I needed it and then I would think that I might have thrown it away. I wish she would throw my stuff away! :rofl:

Really? Divulging guy secrets are we? Mwahahahaha!

LOL... ask yourself this.... am I divulging guy secrets or is this a test!!!??? :laugh:

[Pamelajo]

:Think:

Storage areas has been a discussion topic at our house more than once. Hubby has a 3 car garage, and two sheds and one is a two storey and I have some shelving in the basement, and he keeps telling me I have too much stuff!!:swoon:

[pyro]

I will admit that it pains me to throw anything out. However when I really think about it, I wonder why I am keeping so much junk (cause I might need it tomorrow is always my thought). Every once in a while, I have a really good purge.... I really wish I didn't have so much clutter.

I was thinking just that when I tossed everything , I didnt even go through it lol
it hasnt been looked at in 8 years so I figured it was "safe"
I put shelves in the cupboard and asked him to get some office boxes to sort the stuff lining our bedroom and dining area TODAY and he didnt lol

I have the balcony for my 2 rubbermaids of fish stuff .... lucky me lmao

We have 1.5 weeks to CLEAN his "stuff" b4 people come to visit , I am tired of feeling like I am boxed in .

I went Christmas shopping today and didn't buy one thing for anyone else but me :laugh:. $80 at one fish store, then $50 at another fish store... working away at my fishmas list.

Awesome you're not the only one:Smile:. I went shopping yesterday and phew got away with it, thankfully hubby was exiting the store when the cashier blurted out the bill.:swoon:
Here's my purchase as well as CPDs.

Tough to get a decent pic of these guys, they are never still.
Please excuse the water marked glass and the ratty plants:frown:.

[pyro]

A nice school of corys! Which cory are they and where did you get them?

[CACAdmin]

sass and Melody, I think you have the right idea... buy your own "fish-y" Xmas presents. (People are never sure what to get anyways). :laugh: That's where gift certificates for a fishstore are a good choice for family members buying you something for the hobby (hint, hint...:wink: )

[sass]

pyro........I got them at La Niche in Quebec.
The corys are Adolfoi.
They were a special order, I've been hunting them down for almost 2 years.
If you are ever up in this neck of the woods be sure to make this lfs a stop
on your list of to do. I can't say enough good things about this store.
Anyway as they say in the reptile community this cory was a lifer for me.

[pyro]

I saw some today at Big Al's in Scarborough (Toronto). They were three for $26.99. I was tempted but they were small and didn't look too healthy so I passed. I get to Montreal on business a couple times a year so I'll keep it in mind.

[Melody]

Very nice Cory's... I love those little fish. Who doesn't love Cory's? Breed some for me ok? :Smile:

I would have been fine if I wasn't tempted by stores I don't usually get to...

No REALLY! :laugh:

[amaruq]

lol@ Pam! I think we have the same hubby!!!! But same idea of a cute hunk to clean things lol! Are we dirty old ladies or what lol!

I like to say I'm 29 and holding but really I'm in my AHEM late 40's.

I don't know what the heck i want. I did get a fish tank one year.

[Pamelajo]

lol@ Pam! I think we have the same hubby!!!! But same idea of a cute hunk to clean things lol! Are we dirty old ladies or what lol!

:laugh: nothing wrong with wanting a cute hunk to clean our tanks bout time us women starting admiring the younger hunks, men have been admiring younger women for years.

@ Rabadswompe.........I've sent you a pm, I wasn't sure it was okay to post the info on the store here?
Lol Amaruq and Pamelajo:Smile:. Try early 50's and wanting a buff bald headed hunk to be at my beck and call:laugh:. lol

Well keep your fingers and toes crossed since that is the big plan.

My husband was calling me that last weekend after a young man in a electronics store was being very helpful.

Looks like this "very west coast" trend is moving east.:yes:I think that may mean we are behind the times or just learning to be vocal about it.

See Jay I am not the only one!!:tongue:

No problem posting the store info when someone is asking because they are trying to find something.

Is that what you said to hubby? :wink: :DevilGrin: :BOLTS:
