What are you doing today?

My local fish store agreed to buy my Anomalochromis thomasi young adults born on April 5. This is the third brood since October. These guys are fantastic looking and it’s wonderful to watch their interesting interactions and other behaviors. So I began the netting process at 9 AM. By noon I had only netted 4 fish. I had to arrive at the lfs by 1 pm. I gave up netting and left with the four cuties. They are just too quick and clever for the reflexes of this 72 year old curmudgeon. Well I received $15 in store credit and immediately proceeded to buy one orange female a. cacatuoides to breed with Mohawk jr. and 11 n. beckfordi to act as dithers. This was not an impulsive purchase. The fishes have entered quarantine and their dedicated 20 gallon long tank is in the fifth week of cycling. Even though I started the cycling process with old sponge filters and a bottle of Dr. Tim’s one and only, the tank is still not completely cycled. It takes three days to metabolize 1 ppm ammonia to undetectable levels. Frustrating! Any suggestions?

Swell . My arm that got it the worst in the dog attack is broken . I thought it was infected because it was so puffed up and swollen . My daughter took me to the clinic and they X-rayed it . It’s broken down by the wrist . Tomorrow I go to the bone doctor and see what he says . I’ve initiated legal proceedings in this matter and I felt kind of funny about doing that but I don’t now . Now to figure out how to do one armed water changes for awhile .

That is just terrible. Heal quickly. You’re a shoe-in to win. I hope Judge Judy gets your case.

Sigh, just trying to figure people out today. Last week we had a state inspection where they come in and pick 10 units to inspect out of the 50 actual units. End result is that 2 people are being evicted due to smoking in their apartment. One they were let in and the woman had a lit cigarette hanging off the edge of her kitchen counter. The other said to come in when they knocked and he was sitting in his chair smoking. Keep in mind that there was a bit over a 2 week notice that this inspection was going to happen. These people seem to think that rules are only for others and they should be exempt.

Oh, the reason for these inspections is that the apartments are government backed with reduces rent for low income people. Anything over 30% of your income is paid by the state. Personally I could save some on rent by using this system but don't as it really would not save me much due to my income and the small savings isn't worth the state being able to tell me how I should live. Still, since it is considered a low income building, my rent is cheap. I've checked around and anywhere else my 1 bedroom apartment would be around $1200.00/month USD. I pay $792.00/month USD including electric.

The apartments are also senior housing and you have to be 55 to live here. One would think that older people would have some common sense but they just don't.

Sigh, sorry to ramble again but I'm just baffled by the feelings of entitlement expressed by people that have lived long enough to know better.

@Back in the fold - I hope the bone doctor has good news. Ideally, once they get onto it, it'll heal fast and you'll have full use of it quickly. I've broken my wrist several times, originally playing softball but for a while, because it took its time healing, it tended to snap. It was a small bone they couldn't do anything with but leave it to heal on its own. I hope yours is neater. Either way, it's a key joint and you'll have to give it time.
At least you don't run on it, unless your fitness levels are terrifying and your skills are other worldly. No walking on your hands for a while....
I would have a hard time bringing a lawsuit, but not controlling a dangerous dog is irresponsible. People get dogs bred for fighting that need management, and don't take that into account. They smoke in non smoking apartments because they're special. They buy dempsies for 10 gallon aquariums, or oscars because someday they'll get a tank large enough. They try fentanyl because it won't make them addicted or kill them - that happens to other people. We're surrounded by people who haven't grasped cause and effect at any level.

That pit bull should be put down. It is a menace.

 

[Innesfan]

Yikes. I am so sorry to hear this. Don't fret the water changes. Your fish will be fine. Take care of yourself first.

I have a brain fluid leak so I am in bed daydreaming about all fish I would like

Let me know when you figure people out . I’ve been trying to lately .

I saw the x-ray and it looks like a small bone . I’m going to be extra cautious about it for a long time and not do anything to aggravate it . And I’m still trying to figure out how to raise a batch of Jack Dempsey’s in a ten gallon . There’s got to be a way .

I found out today that both dogs are in quarantine at the animal shelter . If they’re still alive and healthy Sunday , ten days after the attack , then I’m okay to forgo the rabies vaccine . I want that pit bulls hide . I want to make a pair of moccasins out of him .

I’m figuring things out . I can open my food containers with one hand and feed my fish . Tomorrow I’m going to do a water change with a method I’ve been thinking about . My plan is to do a small DAILY water change to make it easy and manageable . I am NOT going to lose my fish over this unfortunate turn of events .
