Is this an okay deal?

[Trohr]

At the moment I have a 30 gallon aquarium, and in a year or two my two White's Tree Frogs are probably going to need something a bit bigger. I would like them to have something bigger as it is.

I found this tank on Craigslist and I think it's a pretty good deal, but wasn't sure....

I have car payments that I should be making, and would like a tuneup for my bike before winter hits. Trying to decide if I should just wait to find something bigger/cheaper/more reasonably priced, but I can't decide. I have a horrible time making decisions.

Opinions, input, suggestions greatly appreciated.

I don't know if that big of a tank is needed. I think a thirty is ok.

It would be awesome though, huh :]? They would have all sorts of exploring room. I don't really mind spending the money too- just wondering if it's a good deal. I would take the 30 gallon, and get a tarantula or a small salamander to put in it. Car payments are pretty important though....

And so is your credit rating, don't screw it up. Forget about the 125, your White's are perfectly fine in a 30. Thats what mine are in.

Bleeeeeegh.... My credit score is pretty bad....

I think i'm going to live off of rice, vegetables, not bathe, wash clothes, wash dishes, etc. and set aside $50.00 every paycheck until I can afford the tank- I should be able to get it the end of December or January. I don't think that tank's going to be going anywhere anytime soon.

To the bank to pay off debt!

The seller just gave me a call a few minutes ago and said that he needs money soon, and is willing to sell the lights along with the tank for $150.00 instead of $250.00. Is it a steal now? I can't decide if I want to get it just to have it or what.... I think I might just get it because I get paid this weekend, and am going to have a bit extra on top for watching a relatives house for awhile....

I remember those days of deciding if I pay a bill or buy a new "toy". It sucked. I used to make the wrong choices and ended up with bad credit, but slowly I came to my senses. Do what I do, pay your bills AND buy your tank... just don't eat (I do eat, but if I need extra money, I just don't eat out for a week or two)

The deal is definitely great. But car payments are important I hear (I am 15) You could keep the white's in their current tank and get something else for the 125 gallon like turtles or toads or a super large colony of dart frogs Or put the white's in the 125 gallon and get more to join them.

You sound much, much older than 15.

Haha thanks I am so glad I don't have to worry bout all that yet.
