"Lucky" Makes day 128

[benonmsn]

lol. i didnd think it was that small till the last pic, very cute

Fish sure can be tough sometimes.
I didn't think he was that small either. Now I know what you mean--5 gal is truly an ocean to him.

 

[not ecooper]

lol Hey, I LIKE the fake LTA. I've seen those anemones in stores, and they're not that large....he's just that tiny!

Well, she could be unsupportive of Lucky. She's just being a good momma.

 

[fussoverthis]

Wow! Lucky is really a dare devil! I can imagine how difficult it was to get him out of the disposal. And I would have gone through the same panic mode as your wife...I can almost see it!

He's worth it - what a cutie!

Too true, she did rescue him from the obvious danger zone that is my current growout system.

He's worth it - what a cutie!

Agreed! However if I sold him, I would have to ask over 700.00 just to break even at this point! Better be real dang gold in them thar bars!

More updates to come...he has settled into the 5 gallon nicely and has been exploring the xenia frag that I placed in there

 

[k_kagy]

Wow, hopefully your numbers will increase in the next batches and you end up with hundreds of "luckys".
lol, Gold bars--that would be something.

[clown fanatic]

i was just thinking of this story the other day...any updates? how is the little one

 

[MarinaP]

Vert20 is on vacation until next week. I am sure he will update the story once he is back

 

[Atticus]

This is hillarious!!! I had a betta that went disposal diving one night also. I ended up ripping the disposal out and saving him...

 

[Atticus]

Vert,

You should look into putting the webcam on Lucky's tank!!!

 

[thrlride]

I saw lucky back in October and he was tiny then. You think the pics are cute? He's even better in person.

 

[Ebisan]

Bravo. So cute.

Update-

Update-

Well I want to thank all of you for the nice comments, sorta lost track of this thread in all the hub-bub around here.

Anyway-
Lucky is now over 14 months old, doing super and has new digs in the form of a 6 gallon Eclips tank, and yes there is another story that goes with that... seems the old Top Fin 5 Gallon tank had a flaw...the light hood caught fire and burned out the PC board that operated the fixture. So off to PetsMart I go...and return with new tank.

Lucky (or Luckie as she will now be known) has a companion from a new batch of babies that are not quite a year younger than Luckie is. A bit of a squable at first, then the next day all is well and peacefull again.

Luckie and Jr. are doing fine.

Thanx everyone!

 

[cateyes]

that's GREAT news!!!!! do you have any new pics of Lucky and Jr. to share????
thanks,,,lisa

 

[clown fanatic]

[finding nemo]

Oh gosh Vert, that is to funny, I couldnt beleive seeing him in that 5. I thought sure it was a 20 or something larger, he is a little pipsqueek isnt he!
Congrats, you did good gramps.

 

[Vert20]

Thanx guys! I will get some pix this evening when I get home and post them up.

Nemo- tried to call and got busy signal...trying again now.

Still busy...hmmm avoiding me are you?
