Regular Member uberleslie Posted October 11, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted October 11, 2008 Took some fish pictures and figured I would share! Fisher and Starbuck are doing well -- Starbuck has been a bit more active the past two days, so I'm thrilled that she's perking up. Of course, also waiting for that to change in a nanosecond. Kenobi and Sephie are doing marvelous. Their 20 gal isn't cycled yet, so I've been doing more frequent water changes. But the media I transferred to it from my 29 seems to be giving it a bit of a kick...today, nitrates were at 5. Whee! In other news, I almost came home with another fish yesterday. I was at the local chain pet store and there was a cute little pearlscale with a piece of gravel jammed in his mouth. I pointed it out to the fish employee, who had no clue what to do. So I asked her to just get me a net and tweezers. Instead she returned with net, tweezers, and a gruff employee who proceeded to grab the fish and yank the gravel out with the tweezers. When I peeked back in at him, his lip was cut and a piece was dangling. I just KNOW that the water conditions there will worsen the condition and he's probably not going to make it. *sigh* Guess you can't save them all. But I still want to! How awful is 3 fancys in a 20 gallon? Starbuck posing... Kindly requesting that I remove the camera from her face... Yet being a camera hog when I try to snap a Fisher picture... She looks so cute in this one! A good Fisher shot, though this is the side that's a little beat up from being sick last year... Gotta love the goofy ones... The best I could get of Sephie, she's so quick and jittery... Kenobi looking concerned that he may have a twin... I love this one because it looks like she's trying so hard... Swimming together... Sephie, the hoover... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member amynmitchell Posted October 11, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted October 11, 2008 So cute! I can't tell you how much I love Starbuck. If I ever run across his twin I will have to immediately buy him and a larger tank so I have room. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Hidr Posted October 11, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted October 11, 2008 Great pictures. You did what was best for your fish by leaving the pearlscale at the store. We as pet owners must think of the ones we already have before adding more of anything be it a dog or a fish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Chrissy_Bee Posted October 12, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted October 12, 2008 They are all looking so great As for 3 in a 20 gallon...it's bad, I tried before and it didn't go well. You did the right thing by leaving him at the store 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member arabpaso Posted October 12, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted October 12, 2008 Great pix of great fish! All are beautiful but I like Fisher cause common's get overlooked sometimes and he's been through a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Carolinedoodle Posted October 12, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted October 12, 2008 I was just about to say what Kristi said, Fisher is lovely, even though I'm biased and love commons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
