    Punting or Tropical Fish?

    Chatswood 350 a FS shop is situated above an aquarium.

    Today I came home with $95 worth of tropical fishes. But they may only last several days in my tank. Water conditions, too high or low PH, too much nitrates etc. etc. kills them.

    But a 30 minutes punt in Chatswood 350 costs $100. Used to be $90 several months ago. Or according to my friend $70 many years ago.

    Looks like I'm wrong in thinking that keeping tropical fish is a cheaper distraction from punting.

    3 feet. Neon tetra for schooling fish but some have disappeared probably eaten by angel fishes.

    I always wondered how you tropical fish owners deal with that scenario
    Luckily it's summer. The temperature wouldn't plummet that much.

    Some people have battery operated oxygen kit.

    One of my recent punts the girl did a pretty good impersonation of a tropical fish.....I'm done with pretty young girls, sticking to older uglier more service orientated ladies from now on at least I get something for my money

    Many years ago a friend of mine got some Siamese Fighting Fish.
    They lived up to their name!
    They pretty much fought to the death amongst themselves and I think also another similar looking species he had in the tank until it was last man standing
    It was like Ong Bak underwater
    Not sure if they are still available or legal in Australia

    I liked the Ong Bak movies all three of them. They are gritty and grungy.
    I dislike the Chinese ones were the guys are clean cut and they fly and fight mid air whilst bouncing off terracotta roofs.

    First get yourself a fish tank.

    Then go to upstairs of the aquarium: Chatswood 350. After your deed get a few fishes on your way out.

    Come home to show your wife you have fishes as proof.

    The upstairs FS place is just a coincidence. Tell your wife you don't want to go up but your legs walk you up.
