fantailfan1 26,742 Posted January 23, 2015 Yesterday was Waldo's 1 year birthday so I thought I would do an update!! I am going to go largest to smallest, saving the birthday fish for last. Here's Saki. I got Saki from Jared in April 2014. She is the sweetest, derpiest fish I have. Last weigh in (November 21, 2014) Saki was 135 g. Today she is 138 g (up 2.2%). We got Bobbie in June 2012. She is Waldo's mom. November 21, 2014 she weighed 111 g. Today she is 122 g (up 9.9%). She was solid orange until recently. Swimmie told her whites have more fun. She's working on it. Waddles came to us via UPS in July 2013. He is soooo Last weigh in he was 80 g and today he is 82 g (up 2.5%, most of which is probably sand ). Swimmie is our oldest fish that we have right now. We got her August-ish 2009. She was all orange for several years and turned all white about a year ago. She was 74 g at the November weigh in and is 78 g today (up 5.4%). Catching up to Waddles. This is a super funky pic of her. Alyssa took the pics and only took one of Swimmie so no other pics to choose from. Peanut is next. Peanut is taking his name literally and staying peanut sized. We got him in June 2013 and he weighed 3-4 g. In November he was 19.4 g and today he is a whopping 20.2 g (up 4.1%)!! Last but not least, the birthday fish!! Waldo (who I have very strong suspicions is female ) was "born" January 21, 2014 and was my sole fry that hatched. In August, he weighed 28 g. In November he was up to 43.2 g and today he is 52.9 g (up 22.4%). I just love him and his white tipped tail. And another of the birthday fish Thanks for looking. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fantailfan1 26,742 Posted January 24, 2015 I need to do a tank update with the fish in their actual home instead of looking freaked out in my hand. I'll add the Waddles rug to that one. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yafashelli 9,540 Posted January 24, 2015 Remember when you were ready to tear down the tank, when you couldn't find him? Aren't you glad that you listened when I told you to just wait a few days? Happy birthday, little guy! They all look amazing! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmetzger72 6,976 Posted January 24, 2015 Lisa, it's funny in these pictures, Saki and Waddles look like brother and sister. Their body shape, fins, eyes and everything. I didn't have them here at the same time, but I bet they are from the same parents 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fantailfan1 26,742 Posted January 24, 2015 Thanks everyone!! They are being treated with a round of birthday prazi. Lisa, it's funny in these pictures, Saki and Waddles look like brother and sister. Their body shape, fins, eyes and everything. I didn't have them here at the same time, but I bet they are from the same parents I think they might be!! The are sooooo similarly shaped it's crazy. The main difference is Saki is smart enough not to eat all the sand. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
