The wife cleaned up the fish tank last week and this is the new addition. Me likey.

I just hope it doesn't off-gas stuff that will kill your fish!

All I see is one Molly, and they're pretty hardy. Keep an eye on em though...

I've never heard of off-gasing. Is that something to do with residual chemicals decomposing in the water? It's made to be in fish tanks so I'd hope they took that kinda stuff into consideration but you never know. I do like the way the bubbler is set up to make the front wheel spin...

The tank is the wife's thing. She's got a few mollys, some neons, scum sucker (that's what I call him) and another couple that I can't remember. We're going to replace the clown loach that died a couple months ago once the water settles back down from the cleaning.

I think she got it at Pet Smart. That's where she usually goes to get filters and stuff.

Dude, my bad. I never woulda guessed that was intended for fishtank use. It looks so good!

I'm sure they doublechecked the toxicity of the item.

That looks great in your tank, and it's a cool thing for your wife to think of

That Platy needs to learn how to ride better

I told her it was a good thing it wasn't an SOHC or i'd have to fish it out and start working on it.

Given my recent influx of projects, not sure she was as amused as I thought she'd be...

Somehow seems wrong to me. A motorcycle underwater? I'm sure the fish are enjoying it, but wouldn't they like it better if it wasn't half buried? The fish are probably thinking "How are we ever going to get it out of the gravel?". I'm sure the fish would like to at least think they could ride it. I know fish like the feel of the water in their scales and traveling at 2 gallons per hour.

She could get a Motorpike and Sidecarp to go with the loach too.

Sorry couldn't resist

Cool.now you need a Beta (i like the purple ones)

Good thing there is no windshield on it, as I 'm sure the fish would rather ride with bigs hitting them in the face. $:-\$

I agree with all of the above. You may also consider sleeping with one eye open.

I'm with Mr R- very well could be a subliminal message.

I Barbie bandana floating on the surface would be funny. I used to put big toy dinosaurs in my tank.

Cvillechopper · « **Reply #18 on:** February 26, 2008, 07:07:42 AM »

So instead of the "I enjoy your fondness of motorcycles as well, honey" that I was taking this as... I should really hear "The bike sleeps with the fishes". That doesn't sound good.
