I'm trying really hard to act normal
Everyday my fish do something or something happens that I want to share, but it rarely warrants it's own thread. I've decided to start a personal thread that I can post daily happenings, that wouldn't neccesarily be important enough for a new thread. 
I'll first tell you what my fish family consists of....I currently have a ten gallon tank which is housing two "rescue" feeder goldfish (Nermal and Arbuckle), who will move to the neighbors pond in the summer. I've only had them a few days (seeded the tank so we wouldn't have to go through another tank cycle), and have been doing partial water changes every other day (it's amazing how much poo two one-inch fish can produce).
I also have four two-gallon tanks, each with a betta resident. The newest one I got today, dark blue crowntail, and the oldest one I've had for two years (Valentine, bright red with white lining around the tail and fins). I got my green/blue/red combtail (who is still nameless) about a week ago just because. But my favorite is Midas, my long sought after yellow betta. Ever since I fell in love with bettas, I wanted a yellow one. When I found him in a chain lps, I was practically squealing with delight when I left.
And my pride and joy is my 60 gallon tank. I was lucky enough to come upon a free 60 gallon tank and stand about six or seven months ago. Current residents include a ram, a krib, angels, yo-yo loach, cories, otos, various shrimp, khuli, mollies, platys, marbled hatchetfish, and pencilfish. I adore all of my fish, but my new cories are becoming a favorite because they are so tiny right now, and always exploring the tank (and the other fish).
So, there's the intro to my "journal" thread.....the only thing to report today was that for the first time, I was finally able to save some of my mollys' fry before they were all eaten.
Now in the nursery I have three pitch black fry, and one pale orange one (I'm thinking this one might have come from someone else) .

So I took him out, and moved Peckle from his two gallon home and tried him with the goldfish. Much better choice. Almost 12 hours and no nipped tails or signs of aggression. I'll just keep doing water changes every other day until Peckle can get his own house (next paycheck I'll be getting ANOTHER two gallon tank) 
Keep it up!
) Thanks!
I lectured Peckle a little (shaking my finger at him) reminding him he better not be harassing the goldfish. He just followed my finger and wiggled at me. I have not seen him chase the other one (and I never saw him chase the other one), so I don't think he is the culprit.
She came across the 60 gallon and was entertaining herself for a long time. She'd tap on the glass and about ten fish would come over to see if she was going to be feeding them something. 
Always looking for something to eat, or racing each other. I'm so glad I decided to try cories again.
Have no idea what this is...have to do some investigating. She was just laying on the bottom of the tank, but then when she saw the food she perked right up. Hmmm...weird.
