I am Niki. I'm 27. I'm profoundly deaf in left ear and severely deaf in right ear. And the unique thing is I wear normal hearing aids and successfully function and communicate with very little trouble in the "regular world" I grew up in the hearing culture, basically mainstreamed in kindergarten and so on. Anyways, I brought home a 4 inch Red Tiger Oscar October 13, 2014. Basically saved him because my friend was huffing duster and changing tank water and left him in a 5 gallon bucket with nothing but water. I incessantly told him to hurry but nothing... just passed out. Well I brought him home in a 1 gallon pitcher. I was so.... UNAWARE OF A SINGLE THING. I think my brain did a "Pearl Harbor" type of bombing because this was an overload to my mind and.... i do not take failure as an option. And i need to prove to my father how crucial the tank size is for him. He is nearly 10 inches. AND. He.... blew.... my.... mind.... i seriously thought I was going crazy. But he interacts and communicates in his own fish way. Like WOW. and i have exhausted my brains out and would just like a small list of what would be best and recommended for him because I cannot make up my mind and my father would be more agreeable if it was a list directly from someone like you. Because i have killed the biological cycle again. And have been on top of everything and just want to upgrade and never have to upgrade again if that is even remotely possible. And I've stayed up nights in a row just talking to him and comforting him and I know this is cruel but I'm waiting on my check to just get everything and i mean every fricking thing. I just have to prove to my father how necessary and it can just be a list of mechanical and all. And odd thing, why the heck is he obsessed with bubbles? He literally has to have more than one or he throws a fricking fit! I'd think a 38 is way too small, right? I am just losing my mind and just need someone who actually knows his stuff. (Btw Carl, wondershells are.... one of the holy grails of aquarium keeping, I'm going to start buying from you) I also have 3 goldfish and.... oddly enough, one looks like Hitler. Strange.
