Ugh I think I threw away a brand new bottle of Coral Amino. It was delivered in a bag to my office with some other stuff and I thought I put it in my lunch bag to bring home but now it's no where to be found. I think it may have still been in the bag and I didn't realize it.

I'm really happy that it eats frozen and pellets. it does eat pods too. But is fat and healthy. I keep thinking about a spotted one.
My wife's ruby red dragonet. So peaceful and also eats everything

Now an hour ish - I get to go home. Don't have to return to work until Wednesday because I'm starting cancer treatments. Seeing PA to go over the regimen of treatment, than have a treatment Monday and Tuesday. They take a long time so I plan on reading. Upside to cancer, being off work and rereading the Lord of the Rings 😄
God Bless buddy. I love seeing that you're staying positive as always

That's a beautiful fish!
I was going to get it for my tank, but I could tell she loved it so much. There are pods crawling across all for sides of her tank glass, this little guy was perfect for her 20 gallon.
They only get about 2.5" max

I've read it many times. It's my favorite fictional work and I feel like I tease a little more meaning out each time I read it.
Have you read the sword of shanara or any of those by Terry Brooks? No comparison to J.R.R. but really good story telling.
