EfrainChicagoDeepdish Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 #RIP to the dried crab.ย I remember reading that thread but missed out on the ending.ย ย ย I should have a little graveyard for our losses under the rose bushes.ย Some will be an empty grave (Chad), but I have found a few jumpers who somehow find the smallest opening.ย I did once put up a missing poster for a fish around the neighborhood which has an elementary school.ย The fish never came home.ย ย ย ย 7 Quote Link to comment
EfrainChicagoDeepdish Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Welcome back to my version of Kliff Kingsbury's underwater house. ย When I moved in, there were peeps squatting here already. ย Here are my first best friends - Pennywise and Sideshow Bob in their anemone Bev.ย Bev has been pouting since the remodel (guess she liked the wood paneling).ย ย ย Pennywise and Bob received three more anemones and they split their time between them.ย Here is BJ and a group shot of us! ย Bermucci and Barkles Maybe Bev is upset because she doesn't like sharing. ย I can't swimย in or touch the anemones.ย But I wouldn't mind being a clownfish as they are super fun to be around and they swim so pretty. ย Here is my other instant friend who doesn't have a name.ย He is somewhat boring which is probably why he hasn't been named yet.ย He just kinda hangs out and doesn't really swim with me.ย I still think he is great cause we all have that low key friend. ย There was also an urchin.ย He would knock rocks over which upset TK so he was given to a local club member who later texted NOLADT and said he was strong.ย Makes sense since I would hear the urchin going around asking "Do you even lift?" ย Next round I will introduce you to the friends that came after me. ย -E-fin 3 1 Quote Link to comment

This leaves me with a little more flexibility, so I decided today was the day I had to venture out.ย I needed to get the 75wย heater for the 20 gallon tank(it seems everywhere is sold out online). I didnโt want to take the chance of not being able to get my hands on a heater for the competition tank, so Covid be damned, Iย headed out.ย ย A couple of lessons were learned today. The most important of which, is if youโve made a fish purchase without directly consulting with your tank keeper (even if itโs on the preย approved tank stocking list) donโt use the LFS rewards number associated with their phone number. Seriously. Pay cash. Forgo the rewards. Hope the fish hides for a while to buy you some time to come up with a plausible story on how it got in to the tank in the first place.ย ย Long story short,(I know, not really, I blab. A lot.) the fish is in the tank, andย I still have a pulse. For now.ย ย Just do what I did for Billy Ballsack Chin... These four little words are magical. "Babe. Don't be mad."ย 3 Quote Link to comment
NoOneLikesADryTang Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Not a ton to report lately... In Calcium, our competition tank, weโve noticed at least three, and possibly 4 crabs with more hair on their legs, than I have, and definitely more than the tank keeper has.
