Another Embarrassing fish story


Well we had a little club meeting last night at my house. We invited Terry B to come over and give the boys and girls a talk about fish stress and disease. Well the meeting was going along real well and everyone was getting a good lesson in fish stress from Terry, When all of a sudden my manderen decided to go on the wild wave ride into the overflow down through the refugium, then down into the sump and into the jaws of the ampmaster 3000. Well right at the moment that TerryB said that fish stress is the major cause of fish mortallity my maderan came out one of the return lines in about 10 peices. The room went silent in sheer horror. I stood their not know what to say.....So I finally came up with "Now that is one stress fish" cruel I know but what do you say????? OOOPPPPs........I dont know. The one thing I do know is that Fish live a lousey life in my tank. Only 3 to go


Mike

No kiddin Alice, I do ask myself that question....almost every day, .

YOu had to be thier for this one. It was like everyone was in a state of bliss...looking and listening to Terry....then turning to the tank with a pleasent smile then back to Terry then back to Sushie....then everyone turns to me Good God what do u say????????? When I blurted out the fish stress comment half the folks started to hit the floor with tears in thier eyes laughing and the rest.........well not so good. And then it is a tradition in our house that the cat gets all the casualties...and I just blanked and forgot I had a house full of Fish lovers...and let me tell ya that didnt go over to well.

Well I just went out onto the deck for the rest of the night and smoked

I dont think they will be calling for anymore fish meeting at my house anymore.

Sorry Brooke we didnt get a chance to expole that option.. Princess (the cat) doesnt give up her dead. . Thank God I didnt pin it to the stand like I do with the bad crabs (kinda of a taboo sign for any other crabs that maybe thinking of entering the tank) or they would have all stood up and left
