I read about how you loved decorating your fish tank with a "space" theme, little aliens and space ship...I was wondering where you found those decorations? I have been looking all over for a space theme!! Please advise. Thanks, JO
Answer Hi JO, thanks for asking about that. A local fish fan with a 100+ gallon aquarium wanted to do the same thing so I went on a quest to find those items I had. Let me tell you, I understand how frustrated you are!
I did find a spaceship on Craigslist, brand new from a private seller, but I found nothing in an array of local pet shops and markets.
Now, of course, you've got me curious again. Though I don't keep aquariums anymore (exotic birds are full time attention; my son and daughter-in-law handle the cats/dogs/critter rescues), it would be fun to have a display tank with the toys I used to have.
There wasn't just a spaceship aerator/bubbler, but also a spaceman.
