Getting my kid a fish tank

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
You’re supposed to clean these ?
 
I’ve already decided to sell the fish tank. Thanks for the help guys.
 
He can put his guitar and self-built computer that are already in the garage inside of it...so it will actually serve a purpose.

I am using the self-built computer to call you a cunt right now.

What’s a guitar?

This could be the post of the year.

As if there was ever any doubt as to the direction this thread would go....
 
This sounds like a pretty big pain in the ass.
It can be but if you get the type of hose that has a T that connects to a sink or tub it makes life much easier. You open the value on bottom and it uses your water pressure to suck the dirty water at a much faster rate. Close the value on T and it puts water back in.

Otherwise you have to siphon water to a bucket or tub and obviously has to be below the tank for siphon to work. Carry buckets with water back can be a real pain in the ass too. It's worth getting the T
 
Fish are great. Have had them for last 20 years. All of the shedding, food waste, and feces is contained. Can't imagine dealing with all that stuff in my house.

If you've got feces in your house, you've trained your animal poorly. Or you're a heathen cat owner. @King Stannis

Not sure what you mean by food waste, though. I use dry dog food and there is no food waste other than the giant bag it comes in. As for shedding, you either live with it (I have a maid service deep clean my place every two weeks and just vacuum twice or so in the interim), or you can buy a breed that doesn't shed. Those breeds usually end with doodle and are for pussies, though, so I've opted to live with it and own breeds that don't suck.

My dogs shed and it’s annoying. Love the dogs, hate the shedding. All the cleaning is fucking annoying.

You’re gonna change your tune on so many things once you get married and have kids, it’s gonna blow your mind.

Bet anything if you have two kids, one of them is allergic or at least one of your nieces or nephews they play with at your house is.

Just because the universe is going to decide to fuck with you for these posts.

Can’t wait to watch it all go down.

If it comes down to the kids or the dogs, I'll give away the kids. :chuckle:
 

@Jack Brickman is parroting Jigo posts from five years ago. I'm getting so much pleasure watching RCF regulars go through these stages, I really do.

If you want to believe your relationship with your dog is just as strong as a bond between you and your own offspring, enjoy it. Pets do tap into biological reactions in people to care for those you love. I get a little put off by the pet industry telling pet owners there is minimal difference, but it's your choice to get manipulated by advertising.

I will say Jigo is right, and if you ever settle down with the right person and start a family, you will feel it for yourself.

I worded that poorly. Didn't mean to refer to food waste being in the house. The other two though...

I LOVE dogs, but I could never have one just because of how I view cleanliness. Even if the dog never deuces in the house, it's got to be spreading fecal particles all over the place, especially if you let the pets on couches, or *gasp* in the bed. I just can't understand the whole sharing a bed with a dog thing. Folks at my job think I'm the devil incarnate because I think that ish is gross.

Eh...I just wash my comforter and sheets once a week. Doesn't really bother me. Dogs don't sleep under the blankets anyway. They've got fur.

And like I said, the maid service comes once every two weeks and gives my place a deep clean. That's good enough for me.

Not being terribly serious with most of my posts on this issue.

Except the parts about cats being useless and fish being a horrible pet that's all work and no reward. :chuckle:
