Still Alive

I am around. Just have been so busy. We adopted some new fish. The above picture was our “mystery” fish. I knew when I bought him he was a type of Bullhead (I love those) and we are pretty sure he is a Spotted Bullhead but he is so small only time will tell. The markings are key and he is such a baby it is hard to tell. He was in a shipment of ghost shrimp. They had two of them and had no idea what they were. One employee took one home and I grabbed this one. They get to about 11″ so that is not bad at all. He is only about an inch right now. hehe so cute. He is in the 10gl tank with Bubbles (the Betta) until he grows big enough to be safe in the 55gl with the bigger cats I have.

We got a rainbow shark that is about 6″, I forgot what S named him. It is her fish. He is pretty cool to watch. Oh yeah. I think S named it a SHE and it is Daisy. I got two Clown Loaches that are small as well. We went to Walmart later that night and felt sorry for the Betta’s and S had to drag one home. They are cheap and I have a large bowl for it so I didn’t mind. It is yellow and really different looking. It has fin rot right now and hope now with a good home that clears up.

I realize when I get the 75gl tank that the bullhead will have to go in that tank in the long term. My common pleco Suck-A-Lux will have to as well. The pleco is going to get to 2ft long eventually. Those are my cows as far as fish. The pim cats can live a good life in the 55gl they are about done growing at 6-7″ and James Bond will get to about 12″ as well and may have to go into the 75gl! I will have to get a larger tank in several years to house more as they grow. The common pleco will need a larger tank and no way around that unless I give him to the fish shop to sell. He is about 6″ now and missing an eye. He is a great fish though.

Yep, I am a fish dork. hah.
