Goodbye Teddy, you psycho crazy fish that tried to eat me!


I put Teddy (my flowerhorn) up for sale on craigslist and I could not believe how fast he sold! I got rid of him last night. The guy asked if I was sad to get rid of him and I told him....honestly, nope. I don't appreciate it when my fish try to attack me through the tank. I guess he had a bunch of huge tanks with huge aggressive fish, so he should have fun with him

Anywayz....now he is out of my hair. I went to the LFS today and used the money that I got from selling him to buy some pretty rainbowfish for my 55 gallon. I like them much better. Much more mild mannered

Sooo this is my happy dance

Yay......I hope Teddy enjoys his new home and you enjoy your rainbowfish.

Yeaa... congratulations Kate! Now you can put your arm back into the tank when you are vacuuming.... Gawd.. that was one crazy fish!
I love the rainbows.. they are great in a school and very active in your tank.. at least they wont try to eat your arm off hahah....


bye bye Teddy... it sounds like he is off to a great new home!

Hurray! No more being eaten!
Sounds like Teddy will have fun. And yay for your new fish having a good home with you too

Thanks guys! The guy came over at 10:30 pm to get him last night (I had just gotten home from work, but I guess he just wanted him really badly) and even though I was exhausted, I was practically dancing for joy! I am so glad that he went to a good home. The guy seemed very knowledgable and we chatted about fish for a little while. I don't think I could have given him away if I didn't know he was going to a good home. No more huge cichlids for me. I know many people love them, but they are just to much for me to handle, lol.

Kate, by the way, I did the most thorough vacuuming of that tank today! It literally hadn't been vacuumed in a month. Eeeeeeew! It was disgusting

Wow! Sounds like it worked out perfectly for you, Teddy and the guy who bought him! Even though Teddy frightened you and your husband, it must have been an interesting experience having him for a while.

Enjoy your rainbowfish. They're really elegant.
