I want to tell you all that my little Max passed away awhile ago. I just haven't been able to talk about it and I still don't like to because it broke my heart. Some of you might remember that he had IP's when we brought him home. I treated him with gel-tek and in about a week his tummy got nice and plump but there was just always something about Max that worried me. Many of you all have probably experienced having a fish that looked fine but you just had this deep feeling in your gut that something wasn't right. Well that's how it was with Max and how do you treat a gut feeling? So he passed away and it's hard for me to even type this to you all because I hate it. I hate with everything in me that he died and that's all I want to say about him ok? I'm starting to cry because I just can't stand it.
So now I want to move on to Emmy. After some time as Emmy grew one day I saw a red line on her once nearly snow white tummy so Emmy is now Bo.
Named by my little boy as usual. It was very difficult to start calling Emmy Bo and her a he. Bo is so tough and my biggest attention hog. He lives here in the bedroom with me and sometimes at night I have to go sit by him and play chase the finger. It took months for him to stop being so timid and to trust me. I swear he's the cutest little thing I've about ever seen. There's just nothing like that little face and those big eyes. A friend asked if Bo would ever grow into his eyes. Sometimes I really wish I could put him the 75gal so he could have a really big place to explore.
I've read that for the most part DP's will only eat blood worms. Not Bo. You should see him shake and tear at a piece of shrimp just like his big brother Harry. He also loves brine shrimp and scallops. I haven't tried squid or crab yet. He is such a wonderful little guy. I'll probably always have at least one DP.
Sending you hugs....
