It is 1:40am and i went upstairs to check on my fish and i sat down in the chair and just watched them and i realized my oscar is so buitful.....like theres no picture that can capture him. He is mostly orange and by his head he is gray and it fades by overlaping gray orange scales til it goes all orange and by the ends of his tail he is ashy gray and its fading til it gets to the clear part on his tail and my Red blood parrot is just so orange with the orange dots on his tail. My ob peacock is just just such a multitude of colars with the orange bloches that he is named after hence the OB. and the natural gravel mixed with the blue gravvel randomly placed all over it took my breath away then i got back on my computer to write this and i was like i know someones gona say im off topic but ya no wat i cant help how buitiful it all was i tried to take pics but i just couldnt capture how i felt.

I would like to see how everyone else feels about there fish and if anyone feels the way i feel when ever i look at my tank

Your words ring true, grasshopper, I see the wisdom in them.

It has lyrics included so you can sing along if the mood strikes you, but be warned--do not be surprised if you feel a single, solitary tear well up in your eye and roll slowly, ever so slowly down your cheek as you do...

I nearly spat my tea all over my laptop hahaha

lol wow johnny never fails to make me crak up but ya thanks for that wonderful song my grandmother probily knows lol

I was hoping PAUL could video himself singing along to his fish and we could sticky it in the vids section.

is this what brooskie calls hijacking a thread if i rember right lol and what does that even mean

Hyjacking is going off topic with your posts, and eventually changing the topic completely.
this is considered bad internet ettiquette, plus it makes it harder too find the correct information, when you are using the search engine.

But in this case we're talking the love for fish and sentiment, and i'm sure if Paul wouldt sing along with born free to his fish, i'd get very sentimental.

yay my first official hijacked thread muhuhaha lol. Not like she cares but ima tell my sister...........even though shell just make fun of me. One day shes gona piss me off and im gona kill her beta fish with a overdose of the millions of fish medicine i never used.

You generally don't want to hijack 'informational' threads, or threads where someone is asking for advice by asking for advice yourself and taking the focus away from that person getting help with their own unique problem. Like, say, if you were asking about the efficacy of transdermal inoculation through use of volcano bubblers, and I jumped in and asked for advice about using burlap sacks to trap hydrocephalic midgets dressed in clown costumes in order to obtain any golden treasure they might possibly be concealing, if any.

But if it's a goofy thread of no particular informational value, the chances of a hijack are raised exponentially...kinda like sailing a ship filled with precious cargo through Somali waters. The temptation might be too great to resist for some of our less, shall we say, 'noble' posters.

This is best evidenced in a thread PAUL created showing pics of himself cleaning one of his numerous tanks and it devolved into the best means in which to prepare him for human consumption, the consistency and frequency of his fecal movements, and preferred hair stylings for available young men circa 1970's-80's Philippines.

Does it make more sense now?

That being said...I see no hijack in this thread. Everything was generally topical. If I were to take this particular thread off topic I would ask PENN about the frequency in which he dons a 'Qing Guanmao' (the traditional headwear of officials during the Qing Dynasty in China), as a visual representation of his authority and status as Administrator of OFL.
