I think I should start pondering over some of the thread starter lines that I am creating, huh? You put them together, what can I say I have a sense of humor...
well the disaster with the MANdarin was once I got him home and acclimated to the small QT tank I had...everything going fine, he was swimming around, looking at his new temp home, looking as pretty as can be. I sat mesmerized watching him and when I went to get up I couldn't move very well, that happens when I sit for any length of time, (injuries) well the knees wouldn't bend, the pain shot up and down my legs into my back and to finish a long story about shooting pain, misery, aching, blah blah blah, the little QT tank somehow ended on the floor along with my new little Mandarin I waited a year and a half for. I managed to get him up and had to get him in the main tank...he sat there for awhile, probably trying to figure out what in the world he had gotten himself into and then after awhile he swam away into the tunnels and caves of LR. I do see him in the mornings in the safety of the rock, and I saw him venture out a little (before I turned on lights) to grab some live brine I threw in there, so far so good. Poor little guy is probably so traumatized he doesn't want to be seen...
