Male BN Green Dragon Has Picked His Love Cave

Ancistrus male BN purchased from and bred by Don Petty of Finatic's Tropical Fish Store

Tiny Super Cool Net

I ordered in a telescoping shrimp net in my Ken's order last week. It is sooooo small I couldn't picture using it. We all admired its design and telescoping handle though. Well today I decided to net some rainbow fry to move too a different tank. No net would do the job but then I spotted the shrimp net, worked like a charm! Would recommend it to anyone moving small delicate fry.

RIP To Another C. Seussi...........

As you can see he looked pretty rough...

The two listless and hollow seussi members that arrived have both left for greener waters........Yes, a second male also died.  I did finally manage to get some food down him but he died overnight anyway.  The remaining 4 are very active with full tummys..............so fingers crossed they stay that way!

Rainbows Depart To Better Waters

I bagged up and shipped off my Australian Rainbows this morning.  I guess I should say my son Lane's Rainbows.......... Two of them he purchased when he was 10 years old, so about six years ago.  The female was real close to 6 inches and the male not far behind.  They spawned almost every morning for most of the spring and summer this year.  I have a tank full of their offspring!  But, it was time for them to move to a bigger tank and spread their fins.  I'm hoping to have a photo of them in their new 120 gallon home in the living room of Finatic's Tropical Fish Store owner, Don Petty.  He says they're schooling with some other large rainbows and arrived unscathed. The Zebra Danios are no longer hugging the gravel in and out of the plants and are actually schooling up towards the surface again now that the big bullies are gone ;)

RIP - The Perils Of Starting A Wild Caught Species

C. seussi with caudimaculatus in background

Woke up this morning to a dead C. seussi, believe its one of the males.  I pulled him out of the tank and noticed he had a hemorrhage behind the gills on his right side, quite a large hemorrhage to be precise.  I observed all the other tank inhabitants and noticed another male seussi was a bit listless and wasn't enjoying breakfast.  Think he might have eaten some baby brine......not positive.  Hoping he'll hang in there!

RIP
