Seriously, you are missing out. The wet Pug solution.

[Redearsunfish]

1. Grab yourself a 30+ gallon tank.
2. Grab yourself some nice medium sized gravel, enough to make a 1/2 inch (at the most) layer.
3. Grab yourself a heater (set to 76ish)
4. Grab yourself some monster filtration. I'm taking at least a couple of canisters and a couple of HOBs. At the least (I run three canisters and three HOBs).
5. Grab yourself a huge assortment of dry foods.
6. Grab yourself a huge assortment of frozen foods.
7. Grab yourself some trumpet snails.
8. Grab yourself a single baby, Blue Oranda.

I'll tell you this, you grow that puppy out, and you'll have just that. A responsive, happy to see you, feed it by hand, puppy.

A wet Pug. An animal that will tempt you to pull it out of the tank and kiss and hug it.

The monster in the equation? The filtration and the fish.

Your welcome.

Lol you have a pic of yours?

I always thought it bad luck to photo my fish.

By the title, I thought you had turned a hapless pug into a wet-dry filter...

Taking pictures of fish is only bad luck if you do it in sunlight on Thursday. Word.

this is what they look like, looking from the top of the tank down.

Sunlight! Nooo!

I just recently began feeding hand feeding my Blue Oranda, "Daddy", earthworm cichlid sticks. He typically misses the first few times and ends up gumming my fingers.

In any event, I think I'll stick by my no photograph policy. Even during an eclipse! Or a rainy Thursday.
