WW3

[BettaMomma]

Oh my lord.
With Millie gone from the tank, I though hell had broken loose.
Well now I think I started WW3..

I cooked up some cucumbers for Gary and dropped them in. Well, Liza has laid claim to one of them and she won't leave its side. When anyone gets within inches of it, she chases them away. The bigger girls have taken off when she comes after them, but just a bit ago, Pearl got horked off and turned around and flared back at Liza. lol Their flares are so.... teeny.... Daisy doesn't really care when Liza tries to chase her out of there and ignores her. So Liza started flaring at Daisy. When that did nothing, she started nipping at her side.
Nellie is still cave-bound and won't come out - and so when someone is running from little Liza and needs a hidey place, they run to the cave. Nellie runs them out of the cave.
...and Cloey is completely full of eggs and haggier than EVER.

last but not least, Gary's cruising around the tank eating plants off and completely missing every single piece of cucumber I have dropped in there.

I feel like I have a mini aquatic circus in my living room.

Ah, I love that tank. Someday you should set up a video camera for us to watch, too. Or you could charge admission for the "fish circus!"

Hey, here's the good news in all of this:

Liza's eating something more than just bloodworms and peas!

 

[Mr Miagi]

Its almost like watching a daytime TV soapie!

 

[BettaMomma]

You know - that thought had never occurred to me. YAY!
I took some pictures tonight so I should be able to post them tomorrow. Mostly of Liza chasing everyone. I also got a whole bunch of Gary wheeling around the tank. He literally got himself stuck between a rock and a hard place before. I had to rescue him with the tongs of life. hee hee hee hee

I wonder if, when Millie gets ready to go back into the tank, the pecking order is gonna be all screwed up.

 

[Kiarra]

They'll have to settle it all over again. Someone else might emerge on top, you never know. Should be interesting.

 

[BettaMomma]

Its almost like watching a daytime TV soapie!

It could be called...... "As the Snail Crawls".....
Wouldn't it be something if one of the girls had Gary's babies?

LOL

 

[Kiarra]

That would be too good!

 

[Mr Miagi]

Oh dear, sounds like he is a womaniser......

 

[BettaMomma]

Yep, he sure is.
I catch him doing this to the girls all the time.
Aha! I wonder if they're all fighting over Gary....

 

[xanthianacid]

Am I getting this right Bettamomma, are you saying you have a guy betta in with the girl community? Bit unsure in your discription!!!

 

[Kiarra]

No worries. Gary's the snail.

[BettaMomma]

I think all the girls are in love with Gary.
But sadly, I think Gary only loves cucumber hunks.

 

[BettaMomma]

Here we go...
I actually never knew that fish could scowl...

And the chases:

Guarding the cucumber:

And here's the 'slappin'-the-face-with-her-tail' tiff shot:

and poor depressed little Nellie hiding in her cave..

Daisy loves Gary!

and then just Gary...

The only measly little plant left in the tank he has yet to conquer....

*little trumpet sound, then a teeny voice screams "CHARGE"*
and a few minutes later...

If Gary wasn't so adorable...

This one is just priceless! She really does look like she's glaring you down.
