Crispy Fish

[Spook]

I had to move my small tank today, due to a flooding disaster behind my dishwasher, and my adult guppies in the tank are a little freaked.

To make it very sad, my pretty boy squeezed inbetween a gap in the lid. I just found him far too late. He was very crispy. *cry*

At least I have many of his babies, and maybe there will be some more very pretty little mutt guppies.

It's amazing the gaps some fish find ....

Hope your little mutts turn out nice for you! Fingers crossed for your next generation...

I used to keep fish tanks on the top of a sideboard against a wall. I'm sure there are a few crispies still behind it, from my earliest (most incompetent) fish days.

It's never a good thing to lose fish like this. It'll be ok tho.

The kids look great :)

When I was a kid my dad used to keep 'siamese fighters'. We are talking early 70's and they were not well understood, at least not in my house anyway. I still remember that the morning ritual was to get up, brush your teeth, then go and pick up the fish from the floor. The tanks were not covered and I remember dad had a heap of males. I guess during the night they would try and get at each other. Carding was unheard of.

Sadly, that was the pretty boy. The fry are still at the boring pale stage. I really hope that his pretty pattern and colouration has some dominance though.

Fingers crossed here too!

@ Tracey: Wow, that must have been an interesting childhood! :)

Iv got a cat so any fish on the floor here are usually gone b4 i get up, they just seem to disapear sometimes. In saying that my Hap. venustus devoured a 4in bristle nose in front of my wifes eyes last night.
