New fish: Chaca Chaca

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Nice! Well that's one way to ensure you always get a fair shake at the lfs.
Please keep us all posted on how your feedings go. I will do the same.
 
yepp, the best thing about working at a lfs, getting things at cost.:headbang2

Don't tempt me. Besides, I don't think it would work out. I would demand the TV for Vikings games.

Umm yeah...we have to watch the Colts. And of course Bret has to watch the Bucs (:screwy: ), so I don't think it would work out...but the fish would be happy at least.
 
Bad news. The Chaca died. Apparently I should have drip acclimated, the pH of the tank at the store was around 5....:( I'll see if we have another, and I'll acclimate properly this time.

I'm really sorry to hear about that man. It's always rough losing a fish, especially when they're hard to come by. What was your home tank PH at?

On another note my Chaca has just claimed the life of a smaller cichlid. I actually went to bed worrying about it's health because it seemed like it hasn't eaten in a while only to wake up the next morning to see it bulging at the belly and one of my cichlids was missing. Pretty upsetting as I am trying everything I can to get it off live food and EATING IT'S TANKMATES!!! :nilly: :cry:
So that's 2 ID sharks and 1 Cichlid thus far. I guess I'm going to have to try keeping a few larger Goldfish in the tank. Ones that will be too big for the ATFs to eat (at thier size right now at least) and a perfect meal for the Chaca.

Let us know if you get another. Good luck Ewurm.
