Da U.P.
:( Worst damn weekend in fishkeeping history for me

1. I was going to transport some fish up to MI for my brother. My friend brings over some of the fish. While in the living room we unpack a 8.5" creamsicle female midas (we left her the styrobox with the bag open). Before I take her down to the basement my friend calls me to look at one of my tanks (a 55 planted). What do I see but my bushfish, all 4" of him dead and floating :swear: . While I'm netting out the dead fish my dog walks into the room and belches very loud. I turn around and his muzzle is wet------you guessed it, the meathead ate the whole fish!!!!!!! :swear: It was my fault but I am so pissed!!!!! That midas was perfect.

2. I call my brother to apoligize and he tells me his girlfriends son had smashed two 90 gals and one 75 gal (one 90 was mine:swear: ), so he cannot take the fish. i Guess the kid thought it would be fun to shoot them with a slingshot. So now I'm stuck with a flowerhorn, two small RDs and a small female jag.

3. My female jag and male firemouth have spawned three times. Never saw any viable eggs. I know they will most likely never produce but one can hope. So anyway on Wed or Thur of last week she spawns and bingo, she does not eat the eggs. The eggs look good until Sat night, when she promtly eats them:swear: . Near as I could tell only a few had fungused over. Just was not my weekend. I posted some extra crappy pics of the two of them. Thanks for listing to me piss and moan.

man that really sucks! I'm sorry about your losses/crappy days.
 
Your day is has bad as mine. Ok, maybe worse because you lost so many fish and those tanks! My dog ate part of my fire eel this morning, but the eel was already dead (I think.)

Sorry man, must just be a bad fish day for Yoopers (I'm in the UP of MI)
 
Yeah, I never thought the dog would do that. I should get one view of that beauty at about 6 am tomorrow morn. I envy you, I wish I was home. 1.3 years left to go. Once home I'm not leaving.
 
That sucks man.
 
Fish was free (well, traded for some african fry I had left) Dog was $1800.00. He is still a pup and has alot of growing up to do. My fault, not the beast.
 
Thats a tough break really funny if you think about it though , I'm not trying to be a jerk but its just funny vision I have in my mind with your big puppy eating the fish, still sucks though. Hoe your days get better can't get much worse. :)

He is a nice looking pup. I figured by your avitar, he was a keeper.

just tell him, "Fish are Friends NOT Food" I am sure he will understand.


The Tanks Vs. Slingshot sucks too.. is the Bro's GFs Son a keeper too? or should we feed him to the dog?
