Turkey-Bob

Hey, that reminds me, I saw another one of those so called, 'Great Blue Herons' but this geeky lookin turkey was behaving itself. It was walking upstream in the creek and it went on by without coming up into the yard, I'm sure it got the memo, BEWARE of size 12 sliffards and or sandals, shoes and other assorted items thrown at trespassing Herons, Great or otherwise!

My outdoor pool is still going very well and the water temp has dropped in the 60 degree range and I plan to overwinter the Koi in that pool. I still got my outdoor dig on hold but it is an open ended project! HOORAY for open ended projects!


I grew this radish at the Community Garden, it weighed 8 pounds... Including the leaves, which are edible and not too bitter either. The stalks are full of water, I kept the whole stalk. We had a Garden workday today.

I'd almost wait to put the baby bichirs in the big tank, they have super poor eye sight and have to hunt by smell it may take them a while to find they're food unless you find them amd spot feed them. Just some advice from a fellow fan of the noodles

Thank you for that! I'm always open to advice, especially delivered in such a friendly and meaningful way, and BTW, that's exactly what you did, HOORAY for beau1990 !

So far it seems to be going just fine for this pair of "Noodles", in this pic below was the only time I spotted both at the same time. So, the top of the tank is covered in that Water Lettuce and I have seen the Bichirs all up in those very thick roots going after small floating pellets and I have also seen them scrounge sinking pellets at the gravel. I have noticed they seem a tiny bit thicker, they are as small as Kuhli Loaches. I'm pretty excited to have these tiny Beasts and it will be fun to see what happens to their tank mates! Thank you for posting here! Show me your Fish, please.


Another thing I wanted to mention, I have a gang of Pictus Cats, 7 of them and one got its pectoral fins stuck in a net when moving them, and I had to cut the net and the lil cat had net stuck on its pecs, it basically shed off its damaged pec fins and they are growing back! Right now the pec fins look normal except very small but all signs point to a full fin recovery, pretty cool!

Any time buddy, I do hope the pictus aren't
in the same tank as these baby bichirs?

Well, they all seem A-Okay, yeah, all together in the Community! It has been a couple weeks and the cats have not ate my Bichirs. I was actually sorta not too concerned that the Bichirs will grow up and eat the Cats? But really, so far erry body seems pretty content in the Mighty Chicago.

Well good, just be careful what are the dimensions of Chicago? I'm pretty sure you could have all the species of bichir in a tank of that size
