Fish Fanatic
Yesterday i posted a topic on my new Florida Gars. We were so pleased with them but we had also seen 2 in another fish store, only this store isn`t quite so fish friendly. We have been thinking about the poor things for a while now, so today we bought them. They were a total rip off price wise, and the fish store has had them in for ages but we didn`t care!
They were in a tank with 3 RED SNAKEHEADS!!!! AGGH. " One of them had been sold, the other had jumped out and was living in the sumps ( now is a danger to staff) and one was left, closely watching the gars. There were also Fahaka`s with a label saying they grow to 10cm!! Lots of other horrible fish stories but for now, it is a happy ending for the gars.
They are now swimming happily with the 2 bigger ones, feeling very protected because they get on well in a group. There is no bullying to smaller ones.
Our Mbu is really happy, wow, 4 new mates in 2 days, all who love swimming with me and actually rub against eachother as they swim past!
We also got another Tire Track Eel as we lost Lawrence to what we think was a tumor, not to replace him but just to give one of these amazingly curious fish a good home.
A happy day.
