Now he's dead! Grrrr! The second fish I've lost since I started this hobby. Besides a couple redspots. And it's an ORA fish. Very disappointed. ) ; I waited for this fish to long.

[ChrisCT]

oh man. sorry for your loss Jeff.

[animalmaster6]

Aww crap I'm sorry Jeff You tried to help him, nothing you could've done besides what you were doing.

[19jeffro83]

Thanks me too. This is one of my favorite species and I'm upset I played a part in it's death. I though for sure by this time ORA would have the problems taken care of. But I think putting a captive bred fish in my tank was to much for him. The only one that bothered him was my other mandarin. I also though for sure I trained a wildcaught and kept it for over 8 months now I wouldn't have a big problem keeping a captive bred mandarin along with it.

 

RIP little Vinnie.

Let the toilet gods have their way with you ).;

It's ok AM he's in the big reef in the sky and I'm out forty bucks.

Do you think I did the rite thing by setting up the holding tank with tank water last night. Or did I kill this little dude?

[animalmaster6]

The other mandarin would've killed him. You did the right thing.

[19jeffro83]

Maybe theyre both males?

[animalmaster6]

That definetly could've happened.

[Twinn]

Sorry to hear about the loss, I too think you did the right thing and at least tried to save it.

[19jeffro83]

It happens just a part of our hobby.

[19jeffro83]

I don't know whats going on but some of my acros aren't doing to good. My params are all perfect. Mote be a little low on mag. Its about 1200.

I've lost two acros in the past week and another isn't looking to hot. WTF.

[19jeffro83]

[19jeffro83]

New fish! Pretty sure I'm ready for the challenge.

[19jeffro83]

Also picked up some big guns for my rhodymenia. Hopefully.

[animalmaster6]

Nice Rainsford's!

[gutterguy]

Those shrimp are awsome!!

[19jeffro83]

Thanks guys. I think my rainfords will do good. I have various types of macro and tons of pods. I've been checking into them and also found that theyre a small sandsifter as well.

Gutter guy thanks my harleys are some of my favorite in my tank. Thought about letting go of them but decided against it because of my fondness for em. Also loving your breeder too. Been checking in from time to time.

My girlfriend got a new camera for christmas! Hope i get to play with it too.

[animalmaster6]

Merry Christmas Jeffro!

 

Nice, can't wait to see pics with it. What camera?

[19jeffro83]

Merry Christmas AM. It's A canon rebel Xs. Don't know if it's any good for close ups. But we will see! It's gotta be better than my iPhone for sure.

[animalmaster6]

That's an awesome camera. I have it's predeccesor the Rebel T1i. All about the lenses. Does she just have the basic 18-55mm. That's what I currently have (it's pretty sweet for a starter lens) and I want a 75-300mm lens.

[19jeffro83]

I think it's actualy 17-55 lol. But yeah I'm excited. I'll be taking pics with it I a couple weeks. She's still out at chop with my boy till then. We hope.

[animalmaster6]

I don't think there is a 17-55mm lens for Canon rebels.

[19jeffro83]

Then I'm prob wrong. Idk that's the camera I thought that's what the box said. But could be wrong. No matter what I'm looking toward to having a good shutter speed and a better pic. I like taking pics but can't get the ones I want with my 2 hour exposure time.

 

Just asked her the model. It's the Xsi model.
