I'll post pics soon as I remember to get new batteries :-? His/her name, well as it turns out my 3 year old grandson Brayden was with me and I told him he could name the new fish. Yep, he named him SAM :lol: :lol: He/she is a veiltail like beauty. My only concern is that the new Sam :lol: is quite small roughly a third in size compared to Beauty. If I wait 2 weeks before introducing the new Sam, Beauty will have been alone almost 3 weeks. I'm wondering if Beauty will become very territorial since she will have had the tank all to herself for that amount of time. Because Beauty if the only other fish in the tank, do you think it would be ok to introduce Sam earlier? Caper

Yup, very much so. Before you know it you will have MTS (multiple tank syndrome) for which there is no cure...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Caper

Hi & welcome! What kind of fish do you have? I don't keep real plants, not up to that challenge yet or may never be :-? Take care & have fun, Caper

You made this yourself...very nice Caper

Thanks lmsmith Caper

Are there lots of hiding places for the girls as well? I've read where doing, as you stated, a "time out" with fish does work sometimes. Caper

Thanks Mel I followed your advice and bought another goldie, he's in my 10 gallon for a bit before I put him in with Beauty. Caper

Hi & welcome! What size fish tank? What kind of fishies? Take care & have fun, Caper

lush, glad things seem to be better for your fish. Let us know if anythings changes. Caper

Good one Skaffen really good point Caper

Now that Sam my goldfish has gone to fishy heaven that leaves just Beauty in the 29 gallon tank. Should I leave him/her on its own? Should I get a tank mate? Before Sam died, there were times when he was sitting and Beauty would hover above Sam. Not in a menacing way, just staying above Sam. Almost as if he was protecting him or keeping watch over him. So, now I'm wondering if being on his own would be a good thing or not. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Caper

livingart thanks for that site, very interesting to read. WOW, I saw the guy trying to pick up the eels at your place I'm sure my jaw dropped to the floor. Talk about HUGE!!! Of course I don't like eels they remind me too much of a sssnnnakes. I remember one time years ago my husband & I were fishing and I got an eel on my line. YUCK, scared the heck out of me and it was nothing, nothing in comparison to the ones you have and on that site. Caper

Hi & welcome! Take care & have fun, Caper

Ahem, why do you want to make it smaller?? Caper

Congrats on your new house :bounce: Looking forward to the updates! Caper

I didn't know eels grew to that length Caper
