Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Beautiful! I loved my Oscars back when I had them. They were almost like puppies! Freshwater is just soooo peaceful.
Oscars have become an invasive species, mostly in Florida canals and the everglades, from people letting them go. You can fish for them and eat them! They also have people just net them and "dispose" of them. It has become the second most popular fish behind largemouth bass to fish for in central and south Florida due to the fight.
 
Same and it's very annoying. This morning it would take me clicking the "like" button probably 20 times to get anything to happen.


That Doesnt Thrill Me At All Miracle On 34Th Street GIF by filmeditor
I have issues using the web on my phone (not the app) to click like and select thumbs up, heart etc... it only allows the like "check" and not the other emojis easily. I have to trick it by holding the button down sometimes. occasionally it would work. re-sizing images is tough too. it likes to self scroll to the beginning message each time.
 
Ok, now you are just showing off!! Love the discus tank
Thank you! I miss my discus they were so peaceful just slowly gliding around the tank. When I bought them they were the size of a quarter and I grew them to full size I was sad when I started slowly losing them.
 
Or... do what I used to do as a kid and sneak in food. You would pay $0 instead

Don't ask me how I know but a pair of JNCO jeans would sneak in a couple of 3 liter sodas and some boxes of candy and licorice. Popcorn if you want, even the popcorn popper...

I loved my Oscar


















Especially when I finally got around to deep frying him and eating him! Stupid thing ate my female Electric Blue Johanni whole she was brooding a full mouth of $25+ babies.
 
Well, what do I do now? Simply don't go to the movies and wait for it to hit streaming so I can watch it at home and enjoy whatever food I want to 😅

Ok, caught up until the next meeting! Lunch was a trio of Tacos al Carbon from El Pollo Loco chased with a Strawberry Hibiscus juice.
 
Probably throw a can of pennies or washers at him...
Speaking of which, how is your new pup doing? I know you have told us her name... something to do with wolves I think.

I remember those pants!

You seriously ate it? For some reason, I could see you doing that. 🤣 That was probably a smarter move than trying to jam it down the toilet
 
My wife and I do that as well. We go to the movies on occasion, but for the price to go we'd rather wait and watch it on the sofa

That's one of the places I miss when I lived in Mesa. They had them in Texas as well.
