| Kissy's 55g tank Yes, yes, the upgrade has finally arrived!!!  Unfortunately I can not offer more than this lame picture of just the tank, as I am in the process of buying the rest of the stuff (stand, hood, lights, filter...) So here is my newest addition to my hobby:
I'm going to get rid of/sell my 20g and my 5g in order to supply the funds for this insane project. I won't be able to set it up until the stand arrives...so I have to wait.
Anyway, it will probably hold at least the four cories I have now and live plants of course! I will continue to research other "bigger" options as I am sick of swordtails eating my flakes. Any suggestions for stocking are welcome!!!

I don't know how/why other kids do it, but my parents wouldn't be so happy if I had a regular job.
I babysit...a lot.

I babysit...a lot.  | I used to work on weekends at the family restaurant from the time I was 12, up until my 2nd semester of college...
And my senior year of high school, I had a co-op job. I went to school in the mornings, and went to work in the afternoons.
I was working 2 jobs while in high school and during my first semester at college. It's do-able. |

| Well, someone we know screwed up when they were working in high school and now ends up being unemployed all the time, so my dad kinda won't let me work.
Anyway, he paid for the stuff now, since it was on sale and I'll pay him back when I get enough saved up.

| Yeah, I'm kind of relieved I got the buying part off my shoulders. If I had waited any longer, my mom probably would have stopped me. 
Now I no longer have to stare at my 20g imagining it being twice as big wondering what I'd stock it with.
