    You could get a job and earn a little running change. I imagine you don't have alot of bills so even a minimum wage job would add up fast. at 15 you could do restaurant work, maybe some landscaping, etc.

    Best advice. Delivering newspapers can actually pay well and you can get up an hour or so early and get it done so it doesn't wreck the rest of your day or evening. I did that when I was like 11-13 to pay for part of my quarter midget racing.

    By the way, I had a bicolor pseudochromis and took it back to the LFS since he took out my 2 skunk cleaner shrimps, my coral banded shrimp and attacked my firefish goby until he finally stressed out and died. The killing of the firefish goby was it for me. The LFS gave me 5 bucks in store credit, 1/3rd of what I paid.... but it's worth it. Chromis get meaner and more territorial as they grow. Just keep an eye on him. There are also some chromis whose personalities are pacifist. I hope that will be your case.

    Good luck with your job search and finding a good skimmer deal.
