What a thread to start on for my first. Sadly I have a brown Hoplo that might soon join the piccies here. I just got a 55 gallon tank after a year and a half with a ten. I never realized how attached you can get to your fish, but man do I feel it now
Lost lumpy the deformed tsn 2 years old and 25.5". RIP little buddy. Going to be checking for internal parasites, started swimming upside down after his buddy bumpy jumped out of the tank. Bumpy also swam upside down before lumpy started, but it was due to him being out of the water for nearly 3 hours. Lumpy just started doing it out of nowhere. Not sure, but when I came home today he was belly up barely breathing and had wore all the skin off his skull and eyes swimming upside down. I'm really bummed! Here's a link to the thread on all of this so that everyone can see the pics of my favorite fish. RIP again. After I am through with grieving I'll start on his skeleton, but it's going to take me a while. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=175853&page=7
