Kev,
Nice to hear that you won one in the Goldfish arena. I am a little late in
seeing this so, because I have been pretty busy lately, so I would like to
suggest an alternative that may help with less strain on your credit card
during the holiday season.
You may want to get to a Farm and Home store, or a Feed store, for Mill in
your area and see about getting a "rubber" stock tank to tide you over until
after the holidays. A rubber/plastic 50 gallon stock tank or even a
rubber/plastic 100 gallon stock tank is a lot cheaper than a 3 foot long
glass aquarium. Granted you won't be able to see the fish from the side,
and a filter may be a little harder to set up, but it will suffice until you
are a little more open on your credit line, plus they come in handy for so
many other needs for people having Goldfish.
