Man, I just entered the room, when suddenly one of my tank lids broke
and the light fell in!!! My little oscar is so lucky he was fast
enough to swim away from the guilotine (spelling?) that was the glass
and the electrocution that was looming... Lucky I cut the power to the
light before it could sink far enough to zap him... I guess his name
isn't Buzz for nothing...

So he's ok, but wow is he freaked out at the moment, I guess since I
walked into the room right as it happened, he thinks I did it, now he's
hiding from me


My mom had a gourami that got trapped in a hole in a rock. It was face
down in the sand when we found it. I had to pull the gourami through. It
was missing some of its scales and looked rather odd afterwards but
a about 2 months later he was back with scales. Seemed like a big deal
to me at the time.

I tried to catch a catfish with a net and of course he got caught in it.
I cut the net off but he had a piece of green on him for almost half a year.

I also had angles in my 75 ga tank as a community tank. Everyone told me
that they would not breed in a community tank. Well they did, twice, on
the filter intake at the top where there was not suction. Wish I still
had them. Hurricane Ivan made me find another home for them. We had no
power for more than a month. The only thing in the house that wasn't
turned over by water was my fish aquarium. Ivan brought about four foot
of water from the bayou into my house.Man! I hope we don't have the
hurricanes this year. We even had water in the back room from Katrina
and I live in Pensacola, about 200 miles away from land fall. This house
has been here for 50y years with no flooding.

Sorry for the ranting but they say this year is going to be worse.
