before we get started, shout out to jeremy from aqueon for working in an aquarium sweatshop to build me my 20 high
ok long story short
*walks into uncle bills
mom: sees yellow banded pipefish, "noah, that looks cool, how much are they. they're probably the closest thing i will ever have to seahorses"
me: "yeah, probably" (looking at a big healthy Gramma melacara)
mom: "that guy looks cool" (looking at a pencil wrasse)
me: goes looking at one of the tanks on the bottom "speak of the devil, theresya horses"
mom: literally goes crazy cause shes been wanting seahorses for the last 10 years
so basically we bought all the stuff, got a pair of Hippocampus erectus got the industry food for em (hikari biopure) got sf bay, we go home. i set the tank up, exhausted, i go watch tv & read my english book. I went to sleep not expecting for it to become a commodity...
10:50 mom comes up talks about seahorses which were in 10g for like 20 min, i go back to sleep
12:48 i wake up mom going ballistic crying having buyer's remorse cause she spent like $350 (i pitched in all my money) scared they would die when we go on vacation even though my best friend lives like 10 min walk from my house & he can feed them every day with mysid and i can build a complex venturi pump brine shrimp feeder thing on a 72h cycle that would feed brine every 6 hours derived from a fish fry catcher invented by the great Paul B (read his book)
1:52 i add the seahorses cause waters clear and i want to not mess with it
