No, not Bogwoodbruce, lol.
For those of you who have noticed, I haven't been on MFK very much lately. Well, I've been busy with this new (and possibly worst) idea I had. I have a friend that I met a few years ago when I went over and purchased a 75-Gallon tank from her, which I no longer have, and she did this little "Fish Rescue" thing. Just recently she has stopped. She no longer has the money to keep all of the tanks running. She made sure the rest of the fish she still had were adopted out, and then quit.
So I thought, why not give it a try. I have been buying new fish all this time, when I could be helping someone else by taking any of their fish that are too large, aggressive, or they are moving, don't have the time for, etc. SO I posted an ad of Craigslist, explaining that I have all different kinds of tanks, lots of fish experience with many different species, etc.
The next day I got a call from someone that had a Saltwater Damsel that was too big for the tank and was beating up the other fish in the tank. So I went over and got the little guy and he now lives in my 55-Gallon Saltwater tank.(He was in a 10-Gallon with three others)
Next I got a call from someone who had a breeding group of Cichlids that they were trying to get rid of. (Had to downsize on the collection, and the wife was part of the issue, lol) They turn out to be 7 (3m4f) Albino Metriaclima Hajomaylandi "Cobue", which I have never seen in this area before.
And lastly, just yesterday we went to get a "10" Tiger Oscar" that was way too big for its 40-Gallon tank and also has HITH.(Knew I would get a call about an Oscar eventually) So we get there and get to see the fish in person, and it's HUGE! Def. not 10"! So we got him home and got him into the 60-Gallon, which isn't much, but def. way bigger than what he had! Got to measure him, and it appears that he is 14". For the first time in awhile, I actually named a fish. Bruce. The name def. suits him, lol. He makes my other Oscar look very small.
I also will be getting a 5" JD that is "In perfect condition, not a scratch on him" that they owner has to get rid of, because he is moving.
And the part that most of you were probably hoping for in the first place, pics...
