You never forget your first....

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
here’s some more recent photos of this guy. Has been really well behaved. Only lost 1 scale a while back but it seems to be back to normal now.

eats pellets every day, and no hunger strikes to date. Probiotics 2-3 times a week. 75-150% wc weekly. Just shy of 1’ now and nice and thick body. I can really see the growth already. I just recently put a long flat heavy stone on my lid because I think it’s putting on enough weight to actually be able to open my lid now. ?

We still haven’t set a hard date yet. We looked at a few properties though. Now we are starting to sort out bank stuff. Need to make decisions we are selling or renting out our current place. Lol I have already sorted out a few bigger tanks though. Lol

I’m still not 100% decided if I will bring this guy with or not. Might have to trade it in for a smaller one if it keeps growing this fast. ??

I wouldn't be able to part from that fish if I were in your shoes.

It will be a move for sure, I couldn’t even imagine trying to move fish that far but I’m sure you already have thought that out. Don’t you have a baby on the way too? Buying and selling houses is a major todo best of luck.

The baby is here. She’s great but we don’t sleep much. But I guess that’s normal.

I have a friend that will keep my fish at his facility while I am in process of moving. Once I get the 300g set up on the other end he will be shipping them to me. But now I have lots of new resources, that I can get higher end aros for much less than what I got this one for. I like it but I don’t know if I want to move a 16-18” aro at the rate it is growing lol. Might be easier to ship a smaller one.

I will have to see if I can find the right home for it, if not then that would settle my dilemma. Lol.

My son is 18 months and just started sleeping through the night. You get used to not sleeping much. After you have a baby you realize how much you can get done with little time. In fact after I had the baby I was like what was I doing before, I had so much spare time that wasn’t properly used lol.

Lol. I have heard that before and didn’t really get it but now I do. Lol.

I hand my wife the baby to nurse then do a really quick wc. Then just as she finishes putting a new diaper on, I take the baby and she does payroll for the staff. Lol. Fun times.
 
slowly increase the night feeding and the baby will wake up less often... soon she will be able to sleep through the night...

Also if there is not enough breast milk, can supplement with formula milk

suggestion from a Father of 3 :evil_lol:
