Hey guys - sorry I haven't been as active recently. I haven't been having as much fun with my fish after I lost those two Nigerians I told everyone about, and after my beloved Izzy developed those spinal problems that ended ultimately with her death. I haven't taken on any new fish, and I've been continuing to downsize. On top of that, the centerpiece of our collection (Dusty, the massive Koliba I got for my bf for Xmas) came down with an infection which became HIGHLY septecimic. I quarentined him, Maracyn2ed him, StressCoated him, and nothing worked. Pictures to follow. In other news, the beautiful little endli I got from darmalisdragonfish this past Christmas is doing wonderful. After I downsized, he had a few new tankmates I wasn't sure I could trust him with. He's very fat now, after eating a loach, a pictus cat, and a small senegal. He's only 6'' long, and I can already tell he will be a big handful. I love his markings, and if his growth rate continues he will soon be the new centerpiece. The laps I got a few months back that were VERY thin have begun to fatten up very nicely. I gave Polly (my favoritest upperjaw) his present... a young Palmas Polli named Molly who I like to call his gf. I grew her nice and fat just for him to be buddies with :P I think he might have a crush lol

I'll add another post in a few with the pics of the Koliba's septecemia, and anything else I have thats decent and recent.

Bizzy - *you guys remember that Volta variant who jumped out a year ago and I had the pic of her in the net covered in cat scratches and balled up in pet fur??* She is growing into a striking resemblence of Izzy, which excites me to no end.

Thanks ~

I really like the fish and I've contacted the company I got him from to see if I could pick up a few more itty bitties. Unfortunately they're out of the country on a fishing trip (wouldn't that be AWESOME...)
