Been too long
I want to say hi to everyone and hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving
I have not been around for a very sad reason, unfortunately....Over Labor Day, we took the weekend and went to the Grand Canyon. Left Saturday Morning and came back Monday evening. During that time we apparently had a MAJOR heat wave here in San Diego, and I lost the fish and the Loaches in the 125g
Yep, Marge's American Male Counterpart is no more I went through a real depression over this. He was more of a puppy then a fish, and I still look at the tank and miss him and the gang immensely. It took me 2 weeks to actually clean the tank, although it was immediately emptied and drained due to it's location in the living room. It hurt deeply to remove the bodies, but they were all gone by that time.
I literally avoided going into the living room for a week because I couldn't look at the tank....and a 125g is hard to ignore. It seemed so dark and empty in there
Anyway, that's where I've been. I still have Horsefaces and a couple Dojos, but no Clowns, no Kubotai, no YoYo, ...... I'm Loach short.
I have promised myself I will have Clowns again, but not now. That was too hard. After we move, I will set up a HUGE tank...THEN I will have more Alberts
Take Care everyone and I will pop in more often, now.
Thanks for reading.....even if you didn't read it all

Oh gawd this is terrible I can only imagine how you must have felt. I was totally gutted when I had a filter blockage and lost around 12 adult Tiger Barbs and 3 Clowns including the group's Alpha.
Albert was one of those icons of this hobby as I'm sure you are aware so I'm sure that makes the loss even more heart-breaking.
I can understand not wishing to set up again right now. Best to take a breather. Do pop in here a lot because you can be assured of moral support.....we can all empathize with this.

Loss
I am so terribly sorry. I know your loss must be overwhelming. Take your time to overcome your sorrow. I am sure everyone misses your input.
I am still upset about losing one fish 2 weeks ago. I can't look at his cave.
Take care, Have a good Thanksgiving.

GAH! I'm sorry for your loss. That was such a great clown and it reminded me of all my past pets and made me think about the ones I currently have. I just now loachy heaven is a fun place though.
I love my kubs and my yoyos. funny characters all of them and I don't want any of them to die.
