Patience
It's been a tough day. Tomorrow officialy marks a year since we woke up to blood on our floor, only to find out that my poor dog had congestive heart failure. That day was seriously one of the worst days of my life... ever. I still miss him everyday. Love you, Dixon.

I feel your pain, It's always so sad to lose a loved pet. We lost our dog of 14 years on the 29th last year.

I'm so sorry my friend.
 
Did the flasher show out and zip around the tank, running your other fish into hiding spots AFTER he ate?
Yea all the fish ate then the carpenter kinda harassed then a bit, sporadically though, not continuously

Sorry buddy. Its tough enough losing a member of the family when it's peaceful..

Typical behavior, it's almost like it helps them digest to swim around like that idk. The only fish mine won't chase off during this time is my tailspot blenny. They go kill plate to gill plate and swim together. I think you'll be fine
 
any themes for after dark?

As always the louder/weirder the better. I like the way you're thinking with the 60s music! I might not be as active tonight. Carry the torch for us brother.
 
As you guys know yesterday was my birthday. Today would've been my dad's. He passed away a couple years back. I used to love to call him on his birthday and he'd call me on mine. Id always say, ill get you back tomorrow.
He loved this song.
Here's one for you Dad.

So sorry John! I know how you feel, I lost mine unexpectedly 3 years ago. He was my go to guy. Whenever I have a tough decision my first instinct is to call him.
