    Default Drama at the house of Geh-Tao never stops!

    It has been a very long time since I have started a post here. I took a bit of a break from breeding and while on break my pairs decided they would break up, not spawn and some died. I lost one of my male T-Aqua RTs, my female RSG, a male Golden based San Merah and last but not least my T-Aqua RT female that quite a lot of you purchased fry from. I decided, NOT breeding sucks! I thought time to get back to it. Last week I sterilized the tanks twice...lol I rinsed, dried and rinsed again this morning because I was due to pick up a shipment of fish soon. I think however that my attention to detail in the fish room has dimmed a bit. I had tilted my 60g to drain it with a small piece of pvc pipe place on one side and somehow completely forgot to remove it before beginning to fill the tank. At around 70% filled, I heard the first crack and my roommate heard the first curse word. With each crack came more curse words and lots of water. I actually needed to leave in 10 minutes to get to the airport on time and now I am down one tank. The joys of fish keeping and breeding, oh how I have missed you.

    Sorry for your bad luck Mishka. We missed you here . How is your new place? You are not in the Van Nuys area any longer correct? I always wanted to visit your old fish room. If you start one back up, I would love to visit, so long as you are still relatively local

    Hey Rick!
    I think I forgot to mention that the reason I was going to the airport was to pick up the fish.

    Hey Pat,

    Glad to be back but I had to buy another 60g for the fish that came in.

    Picked up the fish LAX where they tried to overcharge me. Kraig and I were arguing over the price. Him in my ear and me to them.
