Regular Member Chrissy_Bee Posted August 19, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hi everyone! I'm very very very jet lagged but I just wanted to check in and see what's up around here. I had a fantastic trip to California, my conference was a ton of fun (biologists like to party...a lot) and then my sis and I spent some time in San Francisco, which was great. I'll post some pics later As for my fish, there's good and bad news. The good is apart from demolishing a very nice plant, my fish were little angles while I was away. Penny apparently escaped over with George and Fred again and all three are living peacefully! The sad news is Elaine passed away last night I'm sad, but I also know it was her time. My bf took great care of her while I was gone but I think she had an internal infection. To be honest, I'd suspected it before I left, I saw some red streaks in her tail, but I didn't even want to put the poor girl through treatment. I took her out of the tank today and there were no real signs of illness, so I don't think she suffered. I'm happy to know she passed peacefully, but I sure am going to miss her little begging face in the mornings! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Acupunk Posted August 19, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 19, 2008 Oh, I am sorry about Elaine. The poor girl! But you were so good to her for a long time -- a lot of people would have euthanized her. Glad that George is still behaving himself -- will you remove the divider now and give the three of them the run of the whole tank? Glad that you had a good trip. I miss the opportunity to go to professional conferences. Now that I have kids I am on a short leash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member cometgirl Posted August 19, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 19, 2008 I'm so sorry about Elaine. You gave her a much better life than she would have had otherwise. She will be missed. Glad your trip was fun. Can't wait to see the pictures! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Chrissy_Bee Posted August 20, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 20, 2008 Thanks everyone, I'm going to do an obit for poor little Elaine now. I'm sad but in a way relieved, I think I felt this was coming. Kristen, yes I have the divider out of the tank, the fish were together day and night for 5 of the 8 days I was gone and all is well. I'm still watching them closely, but everything is going great. And yes...pictures are soon to come. I got to go to two aquariums (Monterey Bay and San Francisco) so I have a few fishey pics that will only be appreciated here! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
