Jailbroke iPhones for $20 a pop in highschool. Blew it all on fireworks.

Flipped broken consoles before the market got too saturated to profit. Blew it all on video games.

Currently breeding fish. Blowing it all on more fish.

I'm bad at saving money.

Ooh, what kind of fish? I used to be deep in the world of aquarium fish before life had its way with me.

Corydoras catfish, mostly. Trying for otos but haven't had much luck yet.

Ahh man I love me some Cory's.

We used to have an Orinoco basin themed tank, Corydoras Delphax, Otto's, Cardinal tetras, Farlowella acus (twig catfish) and a couple of huge Altum Angelfish.

We had some luck with the Cory's but just like you the Otto's proved stubborn.

That sounds like a fun tank! I wish the fishkeeping communities were more active here.

I left reddit for all the obvious reasons but yeah... Lemmy is significantly lacking in the niche community engagement. Reddit was great for that and getting a REAL answer to something you were googling.

Aquariums, miniature painting, hell even on LemmyNSFW 90% of the posts are all posted by the same three bots that somehow always end up on the "Everything - Top/Active" page.
