anybody remember how a few years ago a canadian man named kyle mcdonald traded a red paper clip for a house?, i am gonna try that with fish tanks, i already found somebody to trade my complete setup 10 gallon for a complete setup 55 gallon, then i will sell the 55 and take it from there, but the hardest part is not doing the trading but convincing my parents that this is a good idea rather then spending several hundred to buy a 125g once my oscar get to big for their 55g. anybody got any ideas?

get a job jks

damn child labor laws,

parents always have fear of their kids failure...

i already have hooked to this hobby and forgot school, jk, i get b-c grades and enjoy life pretty welly, but my dad is a jerk when it comes to things like this, he thinks i am trying to turn the house into a fish tank again.

LOL, keyword "again"! Apparently you've done something similar before and they didn't like it.

lets just say my room was life the blob, taking over the rest of the house with fish tank and amphibian tanks, lol, but my room was a private pet store, (but did not sell anything)
