I am a car guy for sure, and I also used to spend a lot of time/energy on martial arts. I even inherited the school when my teacher hung it up, but people only want to learn MMA today because the apes in UFC say it's all there is.

That has to be a terrible experience for the fish, but I know money when I smell it. You could make a killing with an only fans page! Lmao
Just busting your ballz Monkey man
 
Yeah, there's plenty of money in fish keeping and it's cost me all of it. :LOL:

Well, not really - music gear's always been the main culprit. :doh:
 
Knives and guns, guitars, playing drums, collecting new titanium body parts, dogs, truck and wife.

I am a 3D designer and printer. Since I stopped gigging, I had to have another creative outlet. I think I found it!

I've been into fish keeping for a good 25 years. Oddly my big tank is a tropical with an African leaf fish (Polycentropsis abbreviata) a couple varieties of guramis and 2 big ass goldfish. The goldfish were food that didn't get eaten. I guess they decided fuck it I'm part of this tank now LOL!
 
54 years now as of last September. Gettin' old. :doh:

I wonder which types of Gourami you've got there.

If one of them isn't Pearl, you gotta get some. So-graceful, peaceful and of course beautiful.

For the uninitiated, here's what pearl gouramis look like:

Well, I just shaved with a Gillette Old Type razor. Patent date November 15 1904. This example was manufactured in 1918 as part of a batch of 3.5 million that were sent to US GIs in WWI. It is a very aggressive razor. Attention to angle and pressure will reward you with an insanely close and irritation free shave though. Some things didn't really improve over the last 106 years.

Don't quote me on this but I thought years ago I read something about the older blades back then being thicker and to help make the old type razors less aggressive you can make a shim out of another blade with the edge taken off... You basically put the shim under the cap of the head... Anyway worth doing a search on - might make the shave with it more pleasant and less challenging.

Yeah, I have a pearl Gourami. They've always been my favorite.
Since moving to the new house I've only set up my 55 gallon tank with fish. It's been going for about 7-8 years now. Unfortunately I've lost a few fish to old age recently.
Aside from the Pearl Gourami, African Leaf Fish, and 2 Goldfish there's an Opaline Gourami, Angelicous Botia, Albino Bristlenose Plecostomus, and a couple random bottom feeders.
Recent losses were my Platinum Gourami, Rainbow Shark, and Raphael Catfish.

The other large tanks I have were set up for my turtles and snake. My 2 yellow belly cooters and red eared slider are close to outgrowing their setup. I plan on building an above ground pond for them sometime this year. I'm not sure what I want to do with their tank once the turtles move. I've been wanting a couple Cichlids again. It may get converted to that.

I prefer aggressive razors and even the Old model is nowhere near as aggressive as my Wunderbar. The main thing with the old is you have to physically line the blade up straight with the edge of the razor. It's not held in the proper place by a bar or knobs on the cap. No big deal really, just a minor inconvenience.

By the way the "New" model is very aggressive as well.
