New Tank... With Water... And FISH

[Shellie]

See those itty bitty little orange things in the corner?? That's the fish! They are doing good so far, already foraging. They have gotten huge!!! Thought you guys said I was going to stunt their growth! If I stunted it then I hate to see what they would have looked like with a bigger tank all along... Mom had to net them, I lost my nerve after Sara. They were VERY VERY strong and I was so scared they would jump out of the net. Oh yeah, one more thing... Someone tell the two fantails that they are supposed to be slower than Fisher because they weren't listening.

YaY!!! PICS!! they look like they are having fun!!

[fishiegirl]

Finally!! OMG I am so happy right now! I saw the thread and was like yes yes yes! They look so happy and cute!!!

[Nell]

woohoo!

great pics!!!

They actually don't look as small as I thought they would in that tank. They must have grown a lot!

[mr gerbil]

They look very happy. Most goldfish don't get something 1/4 the size of this.

Congratulations!

Anyway, night all...

[Pippin]

Wow! That is a beautiful tank! The fish must be so happy :).

[mr gerbil]

Pippin, long time no see!

Ok, this really is goodnight...

[Shellie]

Like I said Nell, someone needs to tell THEM they weren't supposed to grow so big in the 10 gallon. lol Wonder what I did different?

[fishiegirl]

fed them a ton and actually took care of them! lol! No really they are a lot bigger and prettier!!

[onebunnywuv]

awe yay! they look gorgeous, you did a good job :D

[Sorathien]

shellie, weren't you doing like daily water changes? the fish get stunted because of a hormone they release into the water. if you do enough water changes you remove the hormone from the water and they won't. you were probably doing enough water changes to keep them from getting stunted.

they look so happy in their new tank! *cheers*

[Shellie]

Thanks Sora! I was just curious. :) They finally swam to the other side. For the longest time they would swim to the length of the 10 gallon then go back like there was an invisible wall! It was really funny. They are all swimming around in a group, poor babies are scared.

[Catmakemebark]

Aww. Cute. That is so awesome. Your pleco is going to be huge!

[Pippin]

Pippin, long time no see!

Ok, this really is goodnight...

Yeah, I've been a bit occupied. But at least I was missed :D.

[Punkygirl0101]

Great pics and tank! Do they even go to the other side? lol.. they look like they are hanging out on that side only.

[Shellie]

I did a video and got some more pics, Punky. I'll upload before I go to bed.

[Punkygirl0101]

Alright!! *checks craigslist and the classifieds for a tank again*

[Shellie]

Keep looking, it really does work! The funny thing was the first ones I was offered were all up North.

[mynoven]

when will you post video? When do you sleep?

[Catmakemebark]

I see a pirate on your TV...I am a pirate...arr...

[Shellie]

I am uploading the pics now, got some of T and the bun as well so its taking a bit.

[mynoven]

Yay!! Can't wait hehe

[Shellie]

I won't post the bun ones here, don't want MG to rag me about my bunnyfish. :D

As you can see, they finally went to the other side of the tank. They have been really cute, playing tag and follow the leader.

really? thats interesting! I've never heard this before. Do you know of anywhere that I could find more info?

[animalmagic]

Hey Shellie! I'm back from my holiday and am very very happy to see the babies in the new tank! It'll look even better once you get paid and can fill it with plants and rocks and stuff. Awesome!

The fish are gonna be so happy in there- I love the video, bless them for sticking together while they swim lol!

P.S TJ has the cutest little voice :laughing:

[Cottontail]

Very nice job Shellie! They look very happy :).

Thanks for going through the trouble of dividing the pics. You didn't have to, I would have waited an hour to see them :).
