Just an update on our fish. After losing 2 of our fish, no more were lost and they're all now happily swimming around in their tanks. Thank God they made it, it's a miracle they almost all survied a 3-day, 1800-mile road trip. Stacy took great care of them!

Now for all the unpacking, etc.. hope i get more chances to get on FishLore & check posts this week.

Oh that is so great, Dave. I was really wondering how you guys were coping.

So which fish died? I knew of one malachai fry, but who's the other one?

Allie

That's brilliant news dave! Let's hope they get used to the different water as easily!

I look forward to seeing the new setups that you and stacy will be doing when the house is sorted out.

I am very happy for you, Stacy, and your fishies I am so glad they all made it (well, save the 3 poor fish ). Sorry if I missed some other post(s), but which fish died? And it was specifically because of the trip, right? Anyway, wow ... a 3-day, 1,800-mile road trip ... yes, that's definitely some huge stress on any fish! I am glad you have all of this behind you. By the way, where in Colorado are you guys? How do you like it there? It's such a beautiful state!

COBettaCouple

thanks everyone! Stacy took really good care of them on the trip and the mahachai baby actually died before the trip, ariel after.. so only Anakin was lost on the trip.

we're in denver, so not really the scenic part of the state, but where most of the population is. not really cold yet.. went to 41 one night, but that's about it.. mild really.

That is great news, guys, I also am looking forward to seeing your new setup.



( Why is the typing on a time lag)Weird!

armadillo

Yeah, that typing timelag is annoying. I can barely be bothered to correct my spelling mistakes anymore.

It seems to be coming from a number of new features and the way the system is put together. Mike is looking into it, to pinpoint exactly what's causing the performance trouble. He's already improved things a lot, but there is definitely still a lag.

Just found this, it answers most of my questions, Dave and Stacy, I am sorry about your losses, but you are true inspiration to all those folks out there who for one reason or another have to move with their babies........

I am still trying to get used to these changes, and wonder where the smilies are?

OM!!!! That is why you aren't up to 12,000 yet! Well COiens just don't know what a treasure they have yet. Wait till you are up to speed.......

COBettaCouple

thanks!

Glad to hear it. I hope they love Colorado and I hope you do too. Welcome to my favorite state.

COBettaCouple

well, the room they're in has a real good humidifier and air purifier so i'm not seeing any difference in water loss due to evaporation and the air going into their tanks should be free of any pollutants. they all seem happy and Aslan's healing up well.

My favorite state is confusion.

I'll hunt around - did you post about how you moved everyone? We're looking at december. Unfortunately the weather won't be much help in getting everyone safely from sac to NYC....

COBettaCouple

you're moving too? that's a long move. i'll be writing an article (with Stacy's help since she is the one who moved with the fish) on how we got ours here with product links once our computer is back on the internet for whichever issue of the FishLore magazine is in the works then. Definitely well before your move.

Amorinthe

excellent. I'll take your tips - I'm sure they'll come in handy and let you know about our outcome. It IS a long move, but we're super excited. NYC, for those of you who haven't been, is one of the most amazing cities in the world. It literally hums with a vitality all her own.

Windchaser

Hehe the nightmare of every fish enthusiast? Moving them? :P

I remember learning all sorts of colorful language as a kid when my dad was moving their 75 gallon tank only 4 miles away. I can only imagine what I would have learned with that long of a trip lol.

COBettaCouple

yea, it was quite an adventure to say the least.
