there’s trouble in paradise… what should be paradise anyway…
a couple of months after moving into our new abode we bought a big ol’ fish tank… and it’s been the source of all kinds of pleasure for the whole family… i sure have gotten into it and have really enjoyed seeing it develop over the last year and a half…
well as we’ve rolled along we buy some fish… eventually some croak so we replace them with new ones… currently until recently we had a couple schools of tetras, 2 uber cool plecos, some silver scats, a couple of bala sharks and some loaches… all living peacefully… looking good… enjoying their 72 gallons of the world…
until recently, that is, because we’ve been right devastated but some kinda funk… as in “kill all the fish” funk…
it all started when we brought home the most recent additions… the silver scats… within a week we had some sorta fungus deal going on… so we treated the water and it seemed to stop it… we lost some lil’ fish pals but things seemed to stabilize and be ok…
until this eve… when i came home to find 6 dead lil’ fish pals… we haven’t had a month where we’ve lost 6 fish so far much less a day… including the remaining bala sharks and silver scats… well that sucks… primarily for them i guess…
i sure hope the rest of them apparently hardy fishies make it… this whole aquarium thing has become quite the groovy hobby and we’ve been pretty successful thus far… i don’t want to have to nuke the whole aquarium and start again…
