The 125 process has begun... Pictures!

Yes, hugs from my Munchkins make everything better!

My son has done remarkably well considering. He still works but very part time. He also lives independently and continues to go to pulmonary rehab two times a week. I'm hoping this is something we can learn to tweak occasionally and he can get on with life. I will be anxious to see what the CT shows next month.

I'm "trying" to be patient with this hobby... I'm not the most patient person in the world though!

Well, I'm sorry to say I think I'n going to lose my CBB. It has been doing great until today when I fed the tank it didn't eat. That's the first time since getting it that it hasn't eaten. It looks very lifeless right now.

Mine has never eaten the food I feed the tank.

I'm sorry to hear that, Micki. You've had it, what, a couple months? They are a beautiful, but difficult fish to keep. I don't think I've heard of anyone having any long term success with them.

Thanks... Yes I got it on November 24th. 2 months to the day!

Well I hope the little fella starts eating again. Have you tried some different types of foods, like arcti pods? I find my fish love 'em when they get a chance

Chris, he didn't have a problem eating until last night. He has always eaten. I knew something was wrong when he didn't eat.

It's a shame that not enough is known about these beautiful fish.

I honestly would not be game to own one, unless I knew I could bred apstia, sorry about the spelling but I think you know what I mean I have 1 in my system, but I don't know if is breeding, but I'm not worried if it stays single :lol:

I hope things turn around for you

 

[Micki]

Thanks Chris. I have a TON of aptasia which is part of why I wanted a CBB. However, this guy never touched the aptasia. I don't think he starved to death because he had always eaten. There was only one feeding that he didn't eat and that was the one the night I lost him. I don't know what happened.

 

[chris wright]

I'm sorry that the poor bugga didn't make it, but I'm amazed that the apstasia was never touched.

It really sucks losing nice fish. So where do you go from here? Are you going to try another CBB?

 

[Micki]

I may try another CBB sometime down the road. I'm not searching one out right now.

 

[chris wright]

I understand. Not a great feeling at the moment.

 

[Micki]

Yes, never a good feeling when there is loss of life...

 

[melev]

Sorry to hear that Micki. You know how much I want one as well.

 

[Micki]

Thanks Marc, We are in the same boat. I really thought I had this one in the bag...

 

[ksouers]

Hey Micki!
You've been quiet for awhile. You aren't coming down with the flu like everyone else, are you?

How's your son?

 

[Micki]

Hi Kevin, My son is hanging in there. We go back to OSU next Monday the 18th. We've had some pretty big issues to deal with lately. It's been rough and doesn't look like it's going to be easy for a while. Thanks for asking...

 

[jnarowe]

Damn girl, you do take it on the chin eh? I feel like that sometimes but I just don't think it compares. Stay tough!
