wow!! even $275 is steep! You shop for 6 months at a time?

I'm about to do a tank shuffle again. Going to re-home my crays into a larger tank :)

That's pretty incredible, though. Next time I go grocery shopping I'm bringing you with me so you can show me what I'm doing wrong. :D

I just spoke to my stepdaughter (vet tech) & she thinks it's an effect of the tiny chip of Ace I gave him last night, because I thought we were gonna get a bad storm. He's shaking, can't jump on the bed, hit his head walking through the doorway & seems weak & out of it. He's still eating & pooping normally. I didn't think a tiny chip given him last night would affect him this long.

I reached to pet Kalvin this morning & he cried out in pain. Did that yesterday too. I keep finding him sitting outside in the grass, like he's got dementia or something. I go to get him & he starts shaking. Weird thing is--he's still got his ravenous appetite, but he wouldn't lick my empty bowls or plate last night (he never misses that). Acts like he can't jump up on the bed or couch but then he can. Just mopes around with his tail between his legs. I can't tell if it's psycological or physical. Got an appt with the vet at 3 today.

So am I... Movin the "herd" into a 75 gallon... Should give them tons of room to grow big, just to be eaten by my puffers... :evil:

The 55 they were in will be converted into a reef... My 20 gallon reef will then become a hospital tank. Oh the work never stops! Well worth it though :D

This will also free up a fluval 405.... Can we say water polisher for my 150 gallon Fahaka tank? Heck ya!

Kalvin will be 7 next month. Too young to be acting senile!
