Man, its been the worst year of my life! I really haven't been able to take of my fish since I'm out of the house. All my fish were getting fed once a week and water changes were the same! It really took a toll on all of them. I decided to move ALL my fish into the dorm with me today. I'm just happy to have them all with me again, to give them the TLC that they require. Stay tuned for updates as they get back into shape! ;)
Eddie
really going to suck when u move
Is there any room for you Eddie? Dorms I seen are not really that big.
I know!Quote:

Barb:)
Thanks Barb, no help, I'm pretty self sufficient. LOL It wasn't that bad, only 19 fish in a 15 gallon bucket and 1 each 55 gallon tank. That makes for a little less than 3 gallons per fish at the moment. :)Quote:

Thanks! It was a piece of cake. Hardest part was breaking down the tank and getting everything in the car. Hauling the 55 gallon up 2 flights of stairs wasn't too bad. ;)Quote:

Easy, just keep the media damp. It will live long out of the water. :) I actually haven't even added the sponges back yet as I am working on cleaning them up and getting them back into shape. Purely relying on waterchanges at the moment.Quote:

Eddie I did some thinking and decided I would take one for the team. You just box all those pretty fish up and send them to me and I will keep them for you until you return to the states :D And if you get to missing them I could set up a video web cam for you. JK!!!
I wanna see current pics of your discus.... I'm really surprised that you didnt lose at least one or even one getting sick in this cold weather. Best of luck getting everything running good.
Wendy
Thanks Mike, its almost back to normal. Its a bit of a pain to do water changes but I'll live with it. As long as I go my fishes with me and happy.Quote:
