mustcooktea Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Well, after our sad time losing my daughter's blackmoor and it's replacement, a fantail, we seem to be doing well with the lastest addition. :bounce: His name is BJ and he is a very unusual looking fish but I have grown to really like him over the week that we have had him. I finally retrieved our digital camera from hubby's ute so that we could take a photo. MCT (keeping fingers crossed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustcooktea Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Hi Casey I have been following your aquarium endeavours with interest. It is so exciting to choose fish and set up a tank. We are about to do the same with my son but will wait until after Christmas. BJ is now in the big tank with Santa (a gold fantail). After some initial shyness he is now a busy little fish and holding his own against Santa who is twice his size. Santa chases him a little, particularly at feed time, but BJ just heads back for more food. I panicked the first day I put him in the tank as I couldn't see him no matter how hard or how many times I looked. I even did a water change and looked under and in everything but still couldn't find him. I looked all around the floor thinking he had jumped out as there is a small gap at the back of the tank due to the hang-on-the-back filter. A little later, there he was :roll: Here's hoping he grows big and healthy! MCT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey05 Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Thats great to hear that BJ is getting on with his tankmate Santa.yeah i suppose i have been on a bit of an endevour.I really had no idea what i was doing but now thanks to people on this forum i have a greater knowledge on how to care for fish,how to pick the right fish and plants and a little help on what and how to decorate a fish tank.Your son is lucky to be getting a new fish tank setup.What kind of idea do you have in mind for his tank if you dont mind saying so?Im glad that you found BJ in the end.I know how worrying it is when you cant find a fish and i speak from experience.I was doing my first ever water change and well i'd taken 20% water out and replaced with 20% freshwater and well i went to put my ornaments back in as i had wanted to take the stickers off them which i had forgotten to do and well anyways i was counting up my fish to make sure i hadn't accidentally sucked up any fish and well i was missing one so i recounted and still couldnt get the magic 15 number only 14 so i was rushing to the bucket and checking for my missing glowlight but no matter how many times i searched for it i couldnt see it and it wasnt til i was sitting on my bed looking at my fish tank upset about this fish when i realized i might have squished it when i put the ornament back in so i reached in afraid of the outcome and pulled up the ornament and out hastly went my glowlight i had been looking for.I must of placed the ornament right on it and so well i felt soooo guilty and was watching it like a hawk to make sure it wasnt hurt and well til this very day it still swims around normally but now i dont remove the ornaments cos im scared that i might squish another and well yeah one of my few fish heart throbbing, tears down my face moments :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
