So how have you all been?

[atlantis_child]

OK. Brought my young cichlids in last thursday. Thought I got them all, but no, there were 4 in the tank that were hiding that I found when I got home.

Sly little brats. :roll:

The ones I brought got all bought up by one of my regular cichlid customers. Don’t know what he’ll do with them, but glad all 13 of them went to a good home.

How he keeps on coming in and buying more cichlids each time mystifies me. Suspect and know to some degree his house is full of big aquariums.

And can’t pass up on $1 perky little red zebras that already got stripes and are totally gorgeous. :wink:

4 went to my sister’s and her boyfriend’s empty-of-fish 70 gallon tank. I bet they’re really happy in there. And totally lost…

Gave away all 5 of my male dwarf platys to a guy at work’s big tank in his office. Full of zebra and giant danios, so they’re adding lotsa color.

Raising the 9 babies I have right now in the cleaned out 5 gallon, and put the girls in the 22 gallon along with my new betta, Little Fury, who’s a real small but pretty and spunky guy, and my big snail. I call him Cruiser now, since he moves pretty darn fast.

Deciding what to theme the 22g tank as, and what fish I’m going to add.

My fish roomate left. :cry: She loved the fish, and the reptiles she looked after, but had enough of dealing with customers. Was beginning to get angry at them when they were being jerks. Not that it showed, but she’d had enough of the whole retail thing.

I’ll miss her. We had lots of fun together, and she helped me with the fish stuff I didn’t know.

Can’t blame her, but now I’m working the fish room by myself monday and tuesdays. Another lady comes in the other three days, but she doesn’t know much. I had to train her totally from scratch when she came. Still lots she needs to know.

There are other knowledgable people that know fish good, but they’re manager people too, and too busy to be in fishroom full time. Hell, usually it’s hard to grad them when I need help with someone’s fish issue since they are always running around doing everything.

Store owners are hiring people, but nobody for fishroom yet. Chances are they’ll end up getting someone that doesn’t know much, if anything. We need more than one definately too. We were understaffed as is before.

Work will be stressful this next week, and things uncertain.

So… That’s how I am.

Wow sounds like you’ve been busy!
Good to hear your fish are multiplying and the stores treating you good.
I’m going to move in a few days, so I got rid of all my fish except my porcupine puffer, and she’s getting a 180 in the house, before I even get in there

[aquaholic85]

some fish just have it better then some humans…that 180 is prob. bigger than my apt. in relation to the size of puffer and the tank..Oh well
