Went To The Lfs Today...

[star4]

... where Chops came from, No I didnt buy anything . I just popped in to let the lovely man who gave me Chops know how he is getting on. He was genuinly suprised that Chops was still alive, let alone getting all the mischief he has gotten himself into. He was really happy that Chops is doing well I told him how greedy he was and he was suprised because aparantly Chops hadnt eaten for weeks in the shop

Goes to sohw the stress fish can be under in LFS where conditions may not be optimum and swimming space is severely restricted. Also showes even more how much a healthy tank and clean water can do wonders for a fish. Three cheers for Chops! And many more for Lesley

i bought an angel that looked like it wanted to commit suicide by stressing itself out the other day!

 

[ChilliPepper]

Blimey he must have been stressed to not eat, bless him. Good work Lesley.

I wonder if you would have bought the poor little firemouth I saw in a LFS last weekend.
The poor s%d had hardly any fins left, they'd been almost completely stripped down to the base by some Tiger Barbs in the tank. I was tempted, but thought it may be too far gone, and the transition to my tank may be too much, plus not sure if the fins would actually grow back.

guess the angels attempt was a near success. he lodged himself between rocks, and he was almost dead, so he just got flushed

Did you just say you flushed "an almost dead" fish, if so you are one sick person. No fish should be "flushed" whether they are dead or alive for starters. I'd reconcider some of your morals within the fish keeping world. Flushing a fish that is technically alive is just sick, that is the impression you gave with your last post.

flushing fish is a BIG NO NO in my book as well

Should be a big no no in anyone's book....Aston, what were you thinking? If the fish was nearly dead it wasn't actually dead then was it...you may have been able to bring it well and truly back into the living again with lots of water changes and care and attention...

 

[N0body Of The Goat]

I agree with others, really hope "flushed" is a metaphor and not that you sent a poor fish to a slow death in the sewers!
