oh that's ok then...

when she started taking about cops and stations and stuff... i thought she had some scary outbreak of something that if left untreated would wipe out the USA's entire fish population!!!!

maybe a little dramatic of me. :-)

Sorry about your fish PP, hope they'll get looked after and that you'll get them back soon.

Good luck fishies!

Parvo.
When my mom used to breed bulldogs, one later caught parvo. It ended up costing us like $5000 at the PEt emergency hospital, one puppy(who had spinal bifider (totally spelt that wrong he couldn't control his bladder if that helps) had to be put down, we kept the female, and we ended up giving the other little boy away. And we had to bleach like everything in the house and on the side yard.

Devlin is really a beauty. I wish I could have him :D . What's the minimun tank size for a striped burrfish? Just so I can dream about having one some day? I really wish for one! But I have to turn one of my bigger tanks marine before I can have that, and that will be a while until I can afford. I will have to some day. My GSP is growing - slowly, but still growing.

Devlin is such the cutie. Sometimes I see porcupine puffers at my lfs and I get so sad because I can't have one. I also get sad because they look terrible... :( Someday I will be able to have one though... my boyfriend friend wants a dogface, he doesn't like the porcies but thats cause he dumb, hehe.
