| Do I look as lost as I am ![]() | Re: BigAl's 10g . . . I went to feed tonight and noticed a "glob" on the floor in front of the tank. Upon closer inspection is was my mandarin. Apparently she decided to take up flying ..... she was not "dried out" but well beyond revivable! Why oh WHY would she do this? I've had her over 6 months... she was fat & sassy and looked GREAT!! Grrrrrrrrr ![]()

| Do I look as lost as I am ![]() | Re: BigAl's 10g . . . Not unless it was a POD! That tank is my "Frag Only" tank. She was totally alone in there other than a small clean-up crew, frags and LOTS of Pods...... grrrrr Thanks Adam.

| Social Darwinism victim | Re: BigAl's 10g . . . aaaaawww, sorry Al!! I hate it when they do that... disease, fighting, eating problems... OK, they're fixable, you can DO something about it but it's SO FRUSTRATING when a perfectly healhty fish decides to inspect the carpet. *sigh*

| Golden Moray | Re: BigAl's 10g . . . Wow, you've got an amazing tank Allen. Jammed packed with color. I'm going to get me a shower suction container for frags too, great idea! But I see you've upgraded from that method ![]() Sorry to hear about your mandarin They are truly beautiful creatures

| Excellent Guesser :D | Re: BigAl's 10g . . . I wouldn't have thought they could get up enough speed to jump. I'm mean really. They just kind of hover. It's like saying I jumped my volkswagen beetle over another car. It just doesn't happen in nature. At least not without nitrous. Was your mandarin on drugs? Sorry about your loss. Total surprise all around.

I hear ya bout hovering. I mean she never even really picked up any speed EVER! She was just SO mellow. Honestly if she had been more "dried and wilted" I would have thought that a fish from my 90g was out because there's no WAY my mandarin would jump. WHY oh WHY!! But alas who are we to ask why? Thanks buddy. I appreciate the kindness and LOCE shared here. It really IS like family!! THANK YOU!!

I feel for you buddy! |
