Ok so I decided to do something that I normally wouldn't do, I bought a larger Fish ... and Just from the name in the title I'm sure you've guessed it... it's a TSN... A 3yr old TSN at that!

I always feel bad when ever I see Buster chillin in his tank all by himself, and Waiting on the Little guys to grow up big enough for him to play with just seems like to far off in the future for me. I saw an Ad on Craigslist a month or so ago from a guy that had a TSN that he was trying to rehome but wasn't having any luck and or didn't find a home which he felt would be suitable for his TSN which he had been growing for 3yrs. After talking with him about just "adopting" the fish if he couldn't find a home for it we kind of lost touch for a couple of weeks and I decided to find an update on the fish and see if he sold it or not, He said he did Sell it actually and that the new owner was going to come pick it up the next day... (Sat) and that he was going to put it into a 200 gallon with a RTC and a jardini :WHOA::screwy:. Normally I would have just let the fish go if it was sold and not worry about it from there... but when I heard it was going into a 200 with those other monsters I felt I needed to do something and basically Told the guy aww that sucks cause I was going to make an offer on the fish (he knew I was better capable of housing this fish and I knew he'd prefer to give it to me instead) I got a fairly quick responce back asking what I was offering and that he would cancel the sale with the other guy :ROFL: so I picked it up today and honestly didn't pay all that much for it ($50)18" only though ... for a 3yr old its REALLY small but he fits in with Buster perfectly since he's just shy of 17".

I'll get some Pics posted in the next day or two as I'm still allowing them to settle in together (Buster went NUTS when Tigger was first put in the tank) and they seem to be figuring out who's the boss... So far Buster might be smaller... but deffinetly has the weight advantage and power Advantage aswell. Tigger seems to be allowing Buster to push him around so I think we have the power struggle almost finished. My Only concern at this point is that Buster seems to have ripped the Right front Fin of Tigger and there is a piece hanging off which doesn't look good... Not bad at all just looks like bait for an attach is all.

So Stupid me now has 7 TSN's 2 RTC X TSN's and 1 RTC and a partridge in a pear tree...I think I might need to rehome some of the smaller TSN's once they get healthy and a decent size so I can make room for the other 500 Big cats that I want :ROFL: (JOKES I'm not getting rid of any of them... I'll make space ;) )
