Podu Girls Fish Room

[Boundava]

Well the barbs are down to 2. Now the threadfins are starting to go too, lost 4 though only have 3 bodies for the 14 day guarantee that they offer. Will see what they say when I contact them with the photo.

Nothing too new in the fishroom. The syno Crinkle Cut is recovering form her aggressive fungus that took off a lot of skin from her back. Gruyere the pleco (Ghost's son) seems to have gotten some damage to his back fin form the fungus but is also recovering in the 75. Sis purchased some more synos (two like Crinkle Cut and 4 of a smaller variety) and set up one of the 50 long tanks. Once Crinkle is better she will go in the tank with them, leaving the 75 with just one pleco so we may get a variety of emperor tetra and some other tetra and go with a SA tank, or heck I always wanted a tiger barb tank, we can go with that too. Have time since I want Gruyere to make 100% recovery before I add anything.

Still have to set up the goldfish tub, ran info some family related :BS: this weekend that ate away Saturday and Sunday was cooking an cleaning to make up for Saturday.

Will see if I can't get something some after work. Depends on how I feel and home much other stuff I have to do (prep for next day, feed the critters and dishes from work) and how much time is left afterwards.

Well got to get back to work.

Totally forgot but the borneo eel came in last night from OH-my Sis's friend gave him to me. His name was Gregolas but since I have a sweet theme going on with the tank I am renaming him Oblanda. Its a Balkan dessert/bar made with wafers, condensed milk and nuts-though some use chocolate. Goes well with Vanilica my snakeskin gourami and Crofne and (plum) Knedle; my two chubbly plecos.

I don't have pics of the eel yet as he was hiding and lights were out but holy crap he is HUGE. As my sister said; he is 50 billion times bigger that her largest eel, Hanso. I caught a glimpse of him and agree-he is a monster! hope to have pics tonight.


BTW I am so freaking hungry right now, wonder why?

[Slaphppy7]

You're making me hungry, too!

Congrats on the big eel, looking forward to pics or vid

[Boundava]

Lol.

So sis sent me a couple shots of Oblande. You can't get a feel for his size though. I will try to get a video in tonight.

He is currently 14" long and about 3" high and wide, though like I said the pics doesn't catch that. It was hilarious how all the gouramis were swarming him yesterday feeling him out wit their modified fins. He had not been with gouramis in his other tub so he was very concerned last night. He tried to hide in Vanilica's spot-but she head butted him out of her spot, lol. She is about 7" long right now and 1 1.2" wide. Still can grow some, but I don't think she will get much bigger (max is 12" long).


On a this is ridiculous...note; I got a really stupid package from Amazon the other day. Hope the link works cause I didn't want to upload it to YouTube.

[Slaphppy7]

The package was already opened?

[Boundava]

No I opened it thinking it was my headphone-not seeing the lithium sticker until after I opened the box. I still can't believe they sent something smaller than a credit card in a 8"x 11"x 6" box. Just absurd and a waste. Good thing I have Prime shipping.

[Slaphppy7]

I see that all the time at work, usually from Grainger...huge box for tiny items...more bubble wrap than product, many times

[Boundava]

Such a waste, where is the efficiency?

[Slaphppy7]

And so much excess waste/garbage/potential pollution

[Boundava]

test...test

Well I have been trying to add a post but its not letting me.

Not like we have any problems with excess garbage, right?

Well spent some time in the fishroom, camera on the phone messed up a couple times but finally got an update. Is a bit long so if your in a rush set the speed on 1.25 or even 1.5, I will sound funny-lol.
