Rookie Alert!!!
« on: June 04, 2009, 02:30:39 PM »
 :o Hello Everyone. I'm Cat and I've never had fish before. My boyfriend's sister gave him this 55 gallon tank with 5 Silver Dollars and 1 Bala Shark. Two weeks later he started new job working over 12 hours a day so now it's my job to care for fish. I am learning as I go. Good for me, the fishes, not so much. Bala died about 2 months ago. Now I am commited to learning as much as possible to keep new fish happy and healthy. Newbies include Geo Juripari and 3 electric yellow cichlids.
What did I learn today? Too many fish for tank. What RO water is. Where to go for help.
Hope I don't make you all crazy with too many beginner's mistakes. Wish me luck!!!

Won't hesitate to ask questions. Like I said, I'm committed to them. At least until I get committed because of them!

Olla Katt. Why Fuzzybutt? That was the nickname of my late Labrador, Fresca. When she got bathed her butt fur would get all frizzy and fuzzy. Hence Fuzzybutt. She was one of the puppies I raised for Seeing Eye but she didn't like the job so I got to adopt her back. For the 12 years we had together we were inseperable. She crossed the bridge in August 2006. There will never be another dog like her and I use that name to honor her memory.
 :beer: Here's to you Fuzzybutt!!!

I am really enjoying this site. Lot's of good info. Plus you all seem to be just a little twisted so I think I'll fit in well!!!!! :D
