I apologize for not updating, so around September we were moving houses and long story short left ny tank unattended with my brother having a party at the house with the tank and one of the guys switched off the pump leading to lack of oxygen and the next morning I came and the Greens were gone, they were so beautiful and l living emeralds honestly, grew to 6inchs in diameter. I have some pics of when they passed if anyone is interested. As I graduated High school last year my life plan changed and Iam currently in the process of chasing my dreams in a military career. So ive had to down grade, and even now I dont find much time to care for my tank which currently holds a few apistogramma agassizii wild, flame back bleeding hearts, neons, green neons, GIANT Vanpier Shrimp, 2 CW45 corydoras. It hurts me a lot to get out of the hobby, especially cause its always been an achor for my wellbeing and a way to express myself, but its a sacrifice I had to make as I knew if I didnt take the opportunity to chase my dream now, I never will, and I would have to live with that regret for the rest of my life. The hobby has helped me make connections with so many great people, learn so much great things, and forever changed my perspective of the world especially the natural world, Iam a rather religious guy as well so every time I spot a new stunner of a fish I think about how perfectly they have been crafted by god.
To add Iam never gonna officially leave the hobby, Iam gonna keep learning just wont be keeping any of my own until I reasonable can, Ive kept Panda Uaru, Heros Severus, Myleus Sp Neon Green, Corydoras Orange Laser, and Holpo Catfishs and yet I already know Iam gonna revist them some day as they are all gems in my eyes, and Ill never forget my wish list haha, will be cool to see where the hobby has gone when I can get back in.
