Fish Crazy
Last night i had a horrible turn in one of my tanks, i lost 2 female rams and a rummy nose...so sad.
I really do enjoy my fish so much and have struggled to find why this happend, i checked my levels/filter and did a water change.
One of them had began swimming around with a male ram and they seem to get on great then he turned on her and started nipping at her until she couldn't find it in her to swim then he turned on the other female, then i woke up to the rummy nose who showed no signs off illness or bullying.
I went to pick up some more tap safe and saw a blue claw lobster/crayfish who was adorable and i had to have him (i had an empty tank ready and waiting for something like him) he's settled in lovely and seems happy in his new home.
I also bought a mate for my gold spot catfish??? the shop didn't know what he was and the intraweb picture look like that's what he could be, but he kept hiding behind my filter now they seem to have groups with my cory cats and are swimming around lovely **even with the light on!!** and i have a smile on my face again =D
Even my glass cats who i haven't seen since i put them in seem to be out in full force near the front of the tank.
I hate losing fish and i understand it's just one of those things but i love it when they all seem so happy.
Oh and my pangasuis and the 7 inch loach who i've only seen twice in a month are loving the 5 foot from there usual 2 foot tank.
Winners all round i say.
