When i started up my tank this guy was so tiny about an inch or a little bigger. he/she is about 3-4 inches now and starting to color up. He finally found a place to guard. Eats like a pig always the first to get the food. One of my favorites.

I get up at 4:45 get my coffee and off to the hot tub for about 1/2 hour. About the only time I get to myself all day. Your GT looks great. I ordered a small one of those yesterday and a flowerhorn. Hopefully they can go in the same tank for awhile. I don't know much about them.

Beautiful Eileen the GTS could be nasty as well as flowerhorns even thought flowerhorns were originally breed to be peaceful. they should go together when little. The GTS are slow growers and the flowerhorn will outgrow the GT. Any more advice send me an email longshotboards1@verizon.net

Thanks Sweet Tony I'm sure I will need alot. You might be sorry.
Tony Idone » posted 2008/05/07 - 22:11  
Nah!!!!!!!!!!! i won't be sorry but i'm jealous because of your hot tub!!!!!! I don't drink coffee i am a tea guy Earl Gray is my poison. i have about 4 cups a day. how about you.
eileen lysell » posted 2008/05/07 - 22:18  
Tea, I like tea. I will have to give Mr Gray a try. A lot better for you than coffee. I looove my hot tub rain or shine I get in.
eileen lysell » posted 2008/05/07 - 22:23  
Here is my email if you ever need advice on buying a hot tub. I highly recommend it. eplysell@comcast.net
Tony Idone » posted 2008/05/07 - 22:52  
eileen i have tried all types of Earl Gray. the one i like most is from Bigelow the smell when i open the packet is like a drug.
eileen lysell » posted 2008/05/07 - 23:05  
Ok well thats the one I will try. I will get some tonight and give you my review in the morning. Don't take this the wrong way but you really don't look like a tea drinker. lol

Thanks Eileen. I tried coffee because i love the way it smells when brewing. i don't think that i had enough sugar in the house or milk.What do i look like i would drink? i like Jack Daniels alot and good homemade beer
eileen lysell » posted 2008/05/08 - 00:20  
No Jack for me got really sick on it once and that was all it took. I love the dark beers a little to much. As for what I think you would drink I will have to think about that one.
eileen lysell » posted 2008/05/08 - 00:39
Just not tea!!!lol
Tony Idone » posted 2008/05/08 - 01:56  
Beautiful Eileen you are too funny!!!! Think of me when you are in your hot tub drinking your coffee.
***kylie *** » posted 2008/05/08 - 02:00  
cant beat twinings earl grey sorry tony and eileen.. lol hahahahha
Tony Idone » posted 2008/05/08 - 02:53  
Kylie that is my backup. But the best i ever had was from a place by me called TEA-VANA. They have a loose white tea-Earl Gray that is to die for but it is so expensive and they don't have it on a regular basis.
eileen lysell » posted 2008/05/08 - 11:30  
Good morning Sweet Tony guess where I am off too! With a big cup of coffee stayed up way to late.
Tony Idone » posted 2008/05/08 - 11:54  
I hate you beautiful eileen!! only kidding i could never hate you I'm sweet tony. I am very very jealous though.Good morning also
eileen lysell » posted 2008/05/08 - 12:22  
oooo, it was very nice. saw two shooting stars.
Tony Idone » posted 2008/05/08 - 12:33  
I am even more jealous!!! How was your coffee?
eileen lysell » posted 2008/05/08 - 13:06  
Coffee was excellent, tub was better.
How many cups of poison have you had so far today?
Tony Idone » posted 2008/05/08 - 13:34  
One but it is about a 22 oz mug of goodness. So i count that as 2. Eileen what do you do for a living?
Tony Idone » posted 2008/05/08 - 13:36  
Beautiful Eileen how many tanks do you have and where are you going to put your GT and FLowerhorn??
eileen lysell » posted 2008/05/08 - 13:48  
Sweet Tony I have 4 tanks the GT and Flowerhorn should arrive today. I am going to put them in my 20 gallon for now they should be small enough. All I have in there is my male T-reef so he will go in the 90 gallon. I know I will need to get a bigger tank for the GT and Flowerhorn. I work from home so try and guess what I do.
Tony Idone » posted 2008/05/08 - 13:59  
That last sentence could have many choices some good some bad and some naughty.You could be a stay at home mom? You could have your own internet business selling just about anything? let me know if i am getting hot or still cold. Right now there's alot going through my mind. LOL
eileen lysell » posted 2008/05/08 - 14:07
You are funny Sweet Tony. I am a stay at home mom only cause I work from home. No it is not an internet business. There is always something naughty going on but not what you are thinking.(naughty boy) So try again. Or do you need more hints?

Tony Idone » posted 2008/05/08 - 14:21

Tony Idone » posted 2008/05/08 - 14:22

eileen lysell » posted 2008/05/08 - 14:27  
Nooo. Harvick got it right. Thats why I need my hot tub in the morning and cocktails in the afternoon. What do you do?

Eileen, I could use the hot tub for my rheumatoid.. how are you guys today?
Tony Idone » posted 2008/05/08 - 14:44  
Good Roger how about you ?
Roger Hopper » posted 2008/05/08 - 14:59  
Fine thanks Tony.. Need to get the house cleaned and do some laundry.. I help Patty anyway I can, since I am disabled and at home.
Tony Idone » posted 2008/05/08 - 15:14  
Sorry to hear you're disabled. work related injury? Old war wound? Car accident i don't mean to pry?You took up a good hobby with the fish.
eileen lysell » posted 2008/05/08 - 15:22  
Good Roger how are you today? The hot tub would be wonderful for you. Harvick you won the prize of coming and wathcing the kids today! Tony everyday is different but usually between 6 and 8. Sometimes more. It's been good but I'm getting ready for a change. My kids are older don't need me as much. Just have to figure out what to do. I used to do accounting but that was 14 year ago.
Tony Idone » posted 2008/05/08 - 15:37  
I am sure it is still in you.what are their ages that's the key?i'm guessing 2-4
eileen lysell » posted 2008/05/08 - 15:42  
The youngest is 15 mos. the oldest is 10 and he has been with me since he was 3. Teaching would be cool but I would like to do high school. I love the teenagers they are a lot of fun.
Roger Hopper » posted 2008/05/08 - 16:06  
I am good.. Yes the hot tub would be nice.
Tony Idone » posted 2008/05/08 - 18:52  
So you are like his second Mom. That is a wonderful thing that you do Eileen. I see how much my wife cares for her students and the love they show her back. That's what keeps her going and i am sure that is what keeps you going? Maybe?
eileen lysell » posted 2008/05/08 - 20:50  
Thanks Sweet Tony your name certainly fits you. That is alot of it I spend more time with most of the kids than their parents do. Ok enough of that. I looked at your pictures today and your tank is awesome. I need one that big. How long have you been keeping fish? My first tank was a 55 gallon saltwater about 18 years ago.
Tony Idone » posted 2008/05/08 - 22:39  
Eileen i will try and make this short. i have been keeping fish for about 30 years with some breaks in between.i started with a 20 high with swordtails and mollies when i was 13 i was fascinated with the live birth aspect of these fish from there of course tha natural progression for a youn g boy is fish that fight! Oscars and jack dempseys and pirahna. Yes pirahna i had 5 for about 4 years. i really got into the SA/CA cichlids and i loved alligator gars. i have breed many jaquars and dovii and convicts. i never had a tank bigger than a 55 gallon until now. i went big 240 gallons in the wall and i also have a 20 gallon long for my GT fry about 30 of them.I want to get another tank a 75 or a 90 for the gt pair or put another pair of fish to breed. i now want to get rid of the female gt maybe? i want to breed somethimg that is not very common in the hobby.
