Fish Dreams

[Kittiee Katt]

Yeah! That's a brasiliensis, right? He looks like a beast.

That's exactly what he was. My big, beautiful man.

 

[ehh]

He's pretty impressive. Have more pictures of him?

Most of them are on my other SD card atm, I've only got a few on this one. But, here you go. Again, please excuse the pellets in the second pic, I was trying to get a pic of him with his mouth open so I have lots of feeding time pics.. I never did get a full open mouth shot.

 

[ehh]

He's a tank. How old is he?

He's a tank. How old is he?

He was 5 years old when we lost him (about four in the pics) I raised him from about an inch, to 33.5cms in that time. He was awesome.

 

[ehh]

Damn, that's a shame. Very impressive fish you grew out there.

I was peeved when he got sick. I wanted to kill my in-laws when we picked him up, they'd only had him for a month, apparently they done his weekly water changes but unless they were tipping half a bag of hikari in for him I don't think they did. I lost my baby because stupid me thought that they'd take care of him for a month considering they moved states for 12 months and lumped us with their 4 cats, 2 dogs and birds.. But no, he came home with a pimple that quickly turned into a pit, it was all down hill from there.

It always sucks to have a fish die.

I almost lost my Pleco to ich. It was to the point where his eyes were cloudy, but he managed to pull through. Even though I got lucky with him and a few others I still lost half the tank. Here he is now. He's a monster atruck 9" now. I understand what it's like to lose fish after half my tank died within three days, and one of my favorite fish was the first to go.

The pictures of the ich are in the thread below. I can imagine Kittiee Katt was just as sad to lose her fish as I was mine.
