Just curious as to how far some of you have gone (distance, expenses or whatever) to help/keep your fish.
I ask because I ve done some pretty intresting things for my fish and was curious if I am really that nuts lol.
1. Last year I moved out to Tampa over an hour and 1/2 from my mom's. I could not take my large 150gal tank, so I left it with them. It has my most expensive fish and one that I have had for over 4 years. Well one of my kig's burnt themselves on the heater and I made an emergancy rescue after work one day. My parents met me up about 40 minutes out from Orland where they live with the fish and tank which I picked up and took back to Tampa.
2. Just the other day I was visiting my parents and cleaned my tank. Well my filter (which is very expensive) was making noises.. I went to check it out and that thing was retarded nasty so not thinking... I cleaned it. If you can't tell already... that was a really stupid move (as I JUST cleaned my tank). The following day I woke up and tank was clear fish were good, a few hours later the parents woke up tank clear and fish good. I left for work for the day and the left to visit family. I get off work drive home to Tampa and 5 minutes after I get in the house my mom calls me... "your tank is cloudy".... my thoughts are "@#$@%#*&^*&()(**&^%&%". Put ammonia neutralizer in it and I am on my way. I grabbed 2 buckets....filled with water from a tank at my house.... a battery airater and off I go to east Orlando at 7pm (when I have work at 7:30 am 1hr and 20mn away the next day - I work next to oralndo). I get there just before 9pm net the fish (yeah that water was really cloudy and spiked...I got there in time for the fish though) get 17 fish between 2 buckets. Pop on 1 working air pump and off I go back home to Tampa which I arrive sometime after 11pm. All fish alive. My bf has the only spare tank ready to go with a filter from another running tank and water from it, pop them in that tank and so far so good. After all was done it was about 1 am.
so What have you done?
