The False Flying Fox has left the building! er... tank. He fought with the krib too much. now it's peaceful...
because the tank is under the rule... of... The queen!
And the better piccy
She demanded to be let free, and she was
And then, it's not a great pic. The sad story of the Glow-lite tetra. He has survived more than you can Imagine.
Life 1: an uncycled 5 gallon with 4 other glowlites and 3 danios.
The danios, as you;'d imagine, harassed and killed 2 glowlites from stress. when I left over fall break, I came back and everything had died. A bad start in fish keeping. So I let the tank alone for 3 weeks, and, when I pulled the net out 3 weeks later, not everything HAD died. Alive, in the net, was my glow lite. 3 weeks without food.
Life 2: A sad life in a bug carrier for 2 years, sometimes not getting water changes for 2 weeks.
Life 3: I had a dream about fish, and got a 10 gallon. Uncycled. Once again, a foolish newbie with no reasearch, I got a dragon goby, some neons, and other things. Betta and my first FFF. Eventually the neons die, I get cardinals, the cardinals die. Cycling ends. I then got 4 glowlites. He has friends again
Life 4: I got the 38 and set it up. Bad idea to put fish in, as a temperature shock killed the dragon goby, killed the FFF, 2 glow lites, and 1 neon.
Life 5: back in the10 while the 38 cycles with Giant danios. He lives with a senegal who eventually ate everything "tetra" but him more feeders.
Life 6: in the 38 with the senegal who had eaten an African butterfly by now
Life 7: still a dangerous life, living with an ABF. But no harm, yet. He has this cool trick where he zooms and does a circle loop, ends up behind the predator to see him, and then runs away.
So yeah. Not the best of living, but the hardiest fish in the history of TFF as far as I'm concerned to have survived all that. Give it up for him!
And I still don't consider myself an experinced fish keeper, but at least I'm educated now. His story is sad. He really deserves his own shoal to command.
