Filter Math posted for Photo Tuesday: Filter


It's not about the 36 cents they make selling you 3 fish. It's the 9 bucks per pack of 3 filters changed once a month for the (so far) 4 year lifespan of a 12 cent fish.

  2. LOL! I'm one of those idiots that has tropical fish, which cost $3.75 for three and goes and spends $55 on a tank and $30+ a month on filters, food and such.

    I clean the tank once a week, but now only change the filters once a month. And my fish have lived over two years so far. ;-)

  4. trout: I am to educate and enlighten. Since I've given up trying to win at backgammon.

    alex: I found one on the floor with a dust kitty stuck to it 10 minutes after a botched transfer and it lived. I think they are little snakehead fish. I want to release them in the wild to see them cross a road.

    cbilly: I can mail you one for 12 bucks. :)

    abhi: you can. It just makes it harder to see the fish through all the suds.
