I'm in the process of breaking down all of my tanks to setup a small cube and this guy isn't going in a small cube. He's one of the biggest dominoes I have seen. He's roughly 10-11yrs old. I have had him for 5 years and I got him from my buddy who has had him for about five as well. He's an old fart who just won't give up the ghost. Oh and he has a story.
I helped my friend set up his tank in 2002 and he bought this damsel to help cycle the tank (because at one point or another we all did that). After about 3 years my friends tank just went to crap. He didn't replace bulbs, heaters quit, filters were unplugged and he NEVER scraped the glass. I finally begged him to take the tank down, seeing as nothing could possibly be living in there after about 2 years of neglect and for the fact that his glass was furry with about an inch thick of hair algae. After the tank is nearly completely drained, this guy literally jumps into a bucket. So I took him home and he lived with me. He has been through several power outages, one total tank meltdown, stuck in the overflow more times than I can count, been in my dogs mouth at least twice and a move from AZ to CA. During the move, the heater in my cooler went out and the water was around 60 degrees after this discovery somewhere around LA. Stopped at a petco and picked up a new heater hoping everything would survive the last leg of our journey. Well, it didn't. I lost over 30 sps frags, tons of zoas and pretty much destroyed about 50 pounds of LR. Guess who was swimming like nothing happened? This damsel. He just won't quit.
I can't get a picture of him but we all know what a domino damsel looks like. He's free to a good home (a small zoa frag as a donation wouldn't be turned down either) Bring your own container.
