sad day... bye bye super mota...

[Camphilophus]

hehe... he's not dead. just not in my tank anymore

yes, ewok officially grows out fish and gives them to other people... sigh, so stupid

It's alright, I do the same thing. For example, right now I'm growing out some odos, rtms, and barred midas. I probably don't have enough room for a single adult of any species but when I get rid of them, at least I can say I've kept them lol. Realistically I might keep the favorite fish out of each batch of fish.

I guess we're all guilty of it. I'm giving away a 10" Jag I no longer have room for. I think I found a good home for him.

hehe let this post be a place where we can unload our sad stories haha...

but on an off topic about what is really sad - three of my discus died last night. there must have been something crazy in the water cuz everything was turning black at 1am this morning. woke up to a bunch of splashing sounds and i thought all my discus had died...
long story short, saved 8 of them... THAT is a sad story...

Man, I would be P.O'ed but I guess it is the risk we run with a delicate hobby of sorts.

Hope you find out what caused it before it does more damage.

This was the FIRST RTM that EWOK sold me about a year ago! I bought him at about 7".... now he's pushing 11"! (I've shared this photo many times!) He's by far my favorite fish....... now I also own his Brother! It was a good trade/move for Ewok..... I'll give the RTM a good home and he gets a more scarce fish for future breeding projects!

I did however give EWOK the son of my breeding pair of RTM, "super mota's" nephew if you will! He's only an inch but we'll see what EWOK does with him.... it'll be a good story/project to start from a fry! I'll post new pics of "super mota" in his new home in a few days!

No... it's a pure bred fish....... EWOK was being silly by calling him "super" as in a "super-hero" and putting that silly red cape and mask on him. I know.... he's a weirdo... not telling me something I don't already know.
