New Joys September 27. 2004


Black AngelFish I have been taking care of two black angelfish along with many other fish for quite some time now and they have been a real joy to watch. Today while I was cleaning their tank I noticed one of the angelfish acting really strange. Usually when I clean the tank all the fish run away from the siphon that I use to drain some of the water. The angelfish didn't move away while I started to drain the tank. I looked a little closer to where she was and noticed that she was protecting a nest of eggs! It should have been the first thing I looked for since her ovapositer has been haning out for two or three days now. If all goes well the eggs should be hatched in 36-48 hours and if the other fish don't eat the fry I'm going to be a daddy.

Life is such a joy! Dispite all the horrible things our imperialist government is doing simple things like an angelfish laying eggs brings things into perspective. Life is good, very good. It really is a shame that our current civilization treats life with such disregard by polluting and destroying the only place we and all the other forms of life have to live.

Our current government is running on a Pro-Death platform. God save us!

Have you bought one of those separation tanks that sits inside your aquarium and has the same water circulating through it but keeps the other fish from getting at the eggs?

I've had fish babies a few times, and those things are relatively inexpensive but work well. I don't know if they have them at the W. Mart, but PetSmart does carry them.

I was thinking about getting one of those. I'll be up north this afternoon for class and look for something.

Thanks for the advice!
