Could You All Please Sit On My Head

[dwarfgourami]

As expected, platy with dropsy died this morning. Have no idea how problem developed, as have been away on 6 weeks holiday. The rest of the tank look fine, but will keep an eye on further developments. Can't say it comes as a great shock, the moment I saw her, I knew she was not long for this world.

Anyway, this leaves the 5 gallon hospital tank empty. This tank I bought yesterday with the declared purpose of emptying it and putting it away once it had filled its purpose. The thing is, it is autumn, and I am terribly tempted to spawn the corys and use it (once disinfected) as a fry tank.... So could you all please just sit on my head until I come to my senses? This way madness lies I have now got 5 tanks... and I have still got a husband. Just.

whereabouts are you?

oh cory fry are soooo cute i would be tempted to spawn the corys as well

No, no, no! *sits on head*

Keep the tank empty and ready for an emergency! If one of your other fish gets sick, and the tank has cory fry in it, the poor sick fish will have no-where to go, and risks infecting your tank and leading all your innocent fish to die horrible deaths because of your greed!

Have I put you off?

yeah but if that happened then she could always buy another hospital tank

don't do it! quarantine and hospital setups are essential to have waiting on standby. take down that tank and put it in a closet immediately!

Thank you, folks, I think the mad moment has passed. The tank is disinfected and drying out. Tomorrow it's going back in the box. I shall turn my attention to filling the gaps in the Rekord 60 instead....

Hi dwarfgourami

If your C. paleatus want to spawn, they will. My guess is that you will be getting that tank back out and moving eggs into it.

Then you will be buying a bigger one to raise the fry in. It might be a good idea to get your hubby prepared, just in case.

I know they will, they frequently do. What I meant was, I am tempted to save the eggs. Which, as you know, is the first step down a very slippery slope....
