So this is a story of my journey with three cardinalfish that we got from the lfs about 4 months ago. Thought I would share my experience with this whole “thing” to provide insight, inform, and perhaps entertain those who want to see what has gone down recently. I have a lot to document so I thought I would take it slow and make a sort of daily blog and see where it takes us! Let me start off by stating I had no intentions of anything except getting some cool, interesting fish, of which, as it turns out, I knew very little about. My kids came up with names, of course, which are Bubba, Sky, and George. When I first got them, I noticed within a few days one of them was legit separating and fighting with the two. I didn’t think much of it other than a little concern for one of them. A week or so goes by and I see two of them together on one side and the other one on the other side. This is the beginning of the madness that I found myself in. Sooo, a couple months go by and, lo and behold, one day, I see one that’s not eating and has this huge jaw. I thought he was dying and had some cancerous growth (cause it’s always cancer) on his mouth. That is when I started researching and realized he was not dying, but he was mouth brooding (are you freaking kidding me?!). I was not interested in any of this due to the fact that you have to somehow separate the fry in a separate tank and raise them on live baby brine shrimp (nope, nope, and double nope). My plan was to let “nature take its course” in my dt. But when you have three kids under 9, your plans are actually your kids’ plans and they were not having any of my plans. Soooo, we proceed with this “adventure” upon us....
