Hi everyone!

Whassup, Mike?

Subject: Re: Hi! Sat Jan 23, 2010 11:38 pm

Not much. Had alot of personal stuff go on and I couldn't get on. I sold all 150 JD fry, Lost the dad to a rock slide. My favorite fish my GT died on me and I have no idea how it died. lost all my snails to a heater explosion. My 15" pleco died from unknown causes to boot. Along with the personal crap I lost all of these fish.

I have 4 out of 7 tanks up and running a 75 gal with my 2 oscars, the 72 with the discus (which I need to find a good filter for but thats for another topic), a 20g with 2 angel's and 2 panda cories and another 20g with my gold JD.

I plan on selling female JD in the spring and using that tank to QT some new discus I'm getting.

With these 4 tanks I feel like it's a hobby again and not a job.

Hi Mike! Sorry to hear all that. Hope everything turns around soon.

I am glad that it is feeling more like a hobby again. That is exactly how I felt when I went down to two tanks.

Yeah it's starting to turn around so I hope to be on more. I missed being able to talk to people about fish keeping with out them looking at me like I had 3 heads.

Mike I want that Gold, PM me before you get rid of him....I will make room!

Subject: Re: Hi! Sun Jan 24, 2010 12:36 am

Done she's all yours! You have a few months to make room for her, I'm waiting until the weather warms up so she wont die in transit.

Subject: Re: Hi! Sun Jan 24, 2010 12:37 am

Cool no worries I need to come up with the cash anyways, we are slow at work and my wife would beat me if I have a fish shipped in right now!

Subject: Re: Hi! Sun Jan 24, 2010 12:55 am

Trust me I understand. I just about died when the misses said she wanted more discus!!

Oh yes sorry saint I forgot! MC if saint passes then it is yours.

Hey Mike! Welcome back I was wondering what you were up to. Sorry to hear about the fish and snail losses.

Subject: Re: Hi! Mon Jan 25, 2010 11:14 am

Thank you. Im focusing on my discus now and trying to get there tank in tip top shape and maybe one day I end up with a mated pair. Soon I'm going to be in the market for 4 more discus to bring my total 10 discus. I'm thinking about some solid color discus like the colbolt blue.

With my oscars I dont need to touch there tank and when I do its only to do a weekly water change. I picked up a compleat 75 gallon tank for 100 bucks last summer and when all my fish started to die I was able to break down the now empty tanks and set up the 75.

My angels I need to work on too. Remember a wile back I posted that one of my angels was sick well she still is. She has some type of infection which I will treat and 3 months later it comes back.

Well, here's the deal MC. I miss having a white/whiteish fish at the tank on my desk. I had an albino/gold/whatever you want to call it JD in there for years and years.

I'm not stuck on it having to be another JD though. Those white titanium/thai/whatever FH have been tempting me for a while now too.

Did you want to breed her, or something? Is she part of the chain of breeding that needs to be done to get those weird blue ones you were looking to do?

Subject: Re: Hi! Mon Jan 25, 2010 6:43 pm

Naw, just never owned a true gold was going to clear out some fish. All but my two oldest JD's died in the move if ya remember, the breeding project is out the door now, at least for now. No biggie though I had no reals plans!
