Regular Member smegypsiren Posted November 22, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted November 22, 2012 AWESOME!!! I just asked on the 911 thread. Been checking on here umpteen times today, was hoping for an update before I go into the yawning abyss that is Walmart. Nay, though I walk through the valley of the black Friday sale, I will fear no fat housewife. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member BurningIvy Posted November 24, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 24, 2012 Everyone is still doing well. I lost a few babies (down to 12) =( But the ones that are still here seem to be doing well. Water changes are of course helping a lot too! Pictures later =) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member smegypsiren Posted November 24, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted November 24, 2012 Well 12 is a good number, before long they'll be eating you out of house and home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member BurningIvy Posted November 25, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 25, 2012 I'm actually in the process of uploading pictures but my phone is being stupid =/ They're all doing well. I did a water change and the little babies got all excited. Bill has developed a dorsal fin. He's growing up so fast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member BurningIvy Posted November 25, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 25, 2012 I love his itty bitty fins. I can see his other fins coming in as well but they don't hardly show up in pictures. I know the other babies are sooooo little. I want them to start growing up! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member BurningIvy Posted November 25, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 25, 2012 Thanks =) this is just about the most exciting thing in my little world. In fact, i think i'm starting to bug my coworkers and family with my talking about them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member fantailfan1 Posted November 25, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted November 25, 2012 LOL!! I really would love to raise fry again. My kids were only like 3 and 4 when I had fry so they don't remember. I think it would be a great experience for them. Well except for the fact that so many of them die in the beginning. It's so fun to watch them grow though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member smegypsiren Posted November 25, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) The dying part freaks me out! Idk if I could handle. I had Mr. Common, my fair koi for 3 days when he passed and I cried for 2 days. Dead babies??? I'd have to be thorazined. Oh and my husband now thinks I'm crazy-er. I just showed him pics of Little Bill, I'm like look it's my godson! Edited November 25, 2012 by smegypsiren 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member BurningIvy Posted November 25, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 25, 2012 I send a pic of Little Bill to my boyfriend everyday. Here's your grandfish! and he just says ok? haha he's soo not into fish. Oddly, the dead babies thing is a lot easier to take than losing an adult fish. You can't possibly have a personal bond with each fry so when they die it is a little easier to handle. I just kind of say i'm sorry that you didn't get a chance to grow up and it's over. Now that I'm down to a small amount though it is getting harder to say good bye. There's a few little ones that I know aren't going to make it (weird deformities) and it just breaks my heart. And don't even get me started on what happens if Little Bill doesn't make it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member smegypsiren Posted November 25, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted November 25, 2012 Oh you bite your tongue woman! Little Bill is gonna live longer then that British fair fish. Your gonna have to assign him a guardian in your will, I'm just not havin it any other way! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member BurningIvy Posted November 25, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 25, 2012 Little Bill is my little miracle no matter how long he lives. I'm so impressed with his life so far. The man is a champ for sure. He better outlive me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
