LOL I'm only 14, I can't go out to burnaby and buy it myself!

I showed my mom the ad and she said. "That's too big"

TOO BIG?!

She told me she'll buy that 30 gallon she saw yesterday for Serra instead...

Well we actually really don't have any room for a 50 gallon....It's a tiny apartment with only 1 bedroom and 1 den.

Maybe someone else from vancouver can get it.

A 50 gallon would be awesome. But if 30 is the biggest you can go now, then go for that. But tell your mom serra will need a 140 gallon tank one day...dont cooters grow up to 14 inches?

16 inches...

I already told her that, but there is NO WAY we could fit a 160 gallon tank in our apartment.

When I move out of the house I'll get her a stock tank.

Tenodera, it's very difficult to remember that you're "only" 14. Your mind is active and as sophisticated as an adult's.

LOL!

Only on here, though!

In real life I'm as immature as 14 year olds can get!

WyredHarware- She'd be too big for the tub! :shock:
