Morning y'all!
Happy Friday 😊

Peace ✌️
Good morning Joel, same to you! ✌️
 
Hey Shelley, glad you guys are hanging in there. Sorry to hear about Rocky, but he's definitely in good hands with you around.

I've learned a lot from your journey to save the pyramid angel, and im definitely pulling for him as well! Good to see you my friend
Rocky is having a hernia fixed. My man sadly is always having surgery it seems. I used my sick time to care for him when I worked. Carpel tunnel. Both knees replaced. Lump removed from his breast. Neck surgery 3 times. Nerves removed from hand. Knee surgery before replacement. Cataracts both eyes. Now this hernia. I know I missed a couple.

This has been a journey with the pyramid butterfly. Still a little thinner than I would like to see him. But keeping the tank Clean means limiting food. I feed 3 times daily. Should be fat! After each feeding I use a small tube to syphon out anything not eaten or expelled. And clean sponges and rinse media every couple of days.

Well my hobby calls me.

Have a great Friday everyone

I’m wishing your husband a speedy recovery!
 
Good morning Tommy!
How you feeling Kev?

BTW: ticks with vinegar just doesn't sound appetizing at all, maybe with some Jimmy Juice though.
 
Not true! I just can't type on my phone while safely driving 125 mph down the interstate to work! Safety first!

John, you probably just need to have your tires Road Force Balanced, then no problems.

Exhausted and weak, had my son carry up 3 five gallon containers of water last night for a water change today. I previously did that. Not sure if it’s the anemia or kidneys or both. I hope to be turning the corner soon. Thanks for asking Tom.
 
Morning from Ca. Going to be sunny but only about 85 today.
Cooling off at night which is nice.
Enjoy!

Praying for you bud. I assume the over-hydration was a health care induced issue?
