Orphan Sid

Post by notoo7 »

While visiting one of my Favorite LFS, I finally broke down and was ready spend the $23 each for three Sids. When I got there the LFS staff had moved them to a different tank and I could find only one. I think, IMHO, the oversized Pleco ate them. Since he looked so lonely I had to take the remaining one.

Right now he can be seen sunning himself with a pair of panda cories on an underwater cave or swimming with a couple of Kubotais. Should he beokay with his present company or should I find some additional Sids?

That means Pricey Internet Fish! :shock: I think the term is I should be commited, Graeme. :? My wife will freak, I will have to hide the credit card bill. :D

Emma nice pic.... I haven't got brave enough to move change the gravel yet. My wife is planning on vacumming the tank tonight, during our weekly water change and I will probably to it afterwards. Wish me luck!

I had only 2 sids years ago & they seemed happy. I never saw any again until this year. Now I have 6 & they are much more playful & I think I"ll add some more. Wonderful fish!

Now the problem is finding more. So far none of my regular LFS have any in stock and Dr Fosters on the Interent is out. Anyone have any ideas.

No I am not flying to England :D
