Im deeply saddened by the unexpected death of a close family member this past Wednesday. In the past year alone we managed to acquire a 75 and 150 gallon tank for the first floor of the house. The love of Oscars led to the purchase of two, as well as the fascination of Red Devils did. With the arrival of the 150 came an Alligator Gar and a Red Tail Catfish. Proper care and t.l.c. resulted in a 24 plus Gar, a 14 plus Catfish, 10 plus Devils, 10 plus Oscars, an 18 Pacu, a 6 Piranha and a 10 Dempsey.
Breeding came natural. Successfully raising, over time, enough Convicts, Green Terrors and Firemouths to almost feed for free. The obvious exception being the gar and catfish who needed a bit more than the usual cichlid pellets.
I was given the honor of deciding what the future will hold for his babies. The plan was for me to take everything home with me yesterday (Sunday) until my decision was made. As if what our family is going through wasnt enough, Saturday the 150 starts to leak from what seams to be the entire bottom of the tank. Every part the silicone met with the bottom pane was leaking. Now all the fish are packed into the 75. Dont know what to do.
Survived by three children and loved by all.
