New Tank for Balki! *again*

LMAO. Just imagine how singing sounds through water lol

[hadla]

I'll sing to him,

"Sometimes the world looks perfect,
Nothing to rearrange.
Sometimes you just, get a feeling
Like you need some kind of change.
No matter what the odds are this time,
Nothing's going to stand in my way.
This flame in my heart,
And a long lost friend
Gives every dark street a light at the end.
Standing tall, on the wings of my dream.
Rise and fall, on the wings of my dream.
The rain and thunder
The wind and haze
I'm bound for better days.
It's my life and my dream,
Nothing's going to stop me now."

ROTFL! *coughhack*

Well my husband and I tried singing "Perfect Strangers" to Balki, and it seemed to encourage him a little bit!

Sorry for the wal rus audio :/

[xrayjeeper83]

OMG ROTFLMAO

You got bigger balls then I do.

[sevenyearnight]

Hahaha! It's not the same without the harmonica.

[hadla]

rotfl i think he thought since 2 people were there, he was going to get twice as much food

[J-P]

OMG... and I trusted you with my site??!!??

Actually, I can see that. The sound causes repercussions in the water that the fish feel and can cause varied effects form nervousness and panic to interest and curiosity.

Balki was sleeping in a different cave toward the back this morning. He came out, yawned, swam around, yawned and stretched. He's still swimming around. I guess the theme song worked.

[xrayjeeper83]

awesome

[bertie 83]

Lol.

[Pufftastic]

I hadn't realized that Balki was named for THAT Balki. Is he also from Mypos?

[sevenyearnight]

Yep, he just left Mypos!

[sevenyearnight]

I'm super proud of how brave Balki was today. When I woke up, I didn't see him, and looked in the back area behind the background, and not only did he swim through the tunnels I made him, he even managed to squeeze through behind the eggcrate and was hanging ot in the heater compartment. He squeezed back out when he saw me, swam out through one tunnel, turned around, swam into a different one , then out another back to the front of the tank. I'm really glad he isn't afraid of the fake lava because I was getting sad thinking he wouldn't use the tunnels I made for him. But, I did have to reinforce the eggcrate with supplemental pieces to make sure he can't squeeze back there again, I don't want him to get stuck. That kind of sucked because I had about 3" of space to work with, glad I have small hands.
The commotion also upset Balki, so he's back to pacing again! Lol

[xrayjeeper83]

lol, hope he gets back to being happy again really soon.

[sevenyearnight]

Me too, watching him pace makes me wanna leave the room.
I'm glad he's adjusting though. I really over estimated his size, he's a pretty small little dude still.
