- where you actually see all of these fishies crammed to one side of the tank squeezing their bodies beneath this monstrous filter.

On the right hand corner, Dailo (aka - "Big Fat Meanie" dubbed by Miki) has dominated the gallon tank and forced every occupant to remain in a single place where he can keep his eye on them. Not only is he the biggest schleppin' fish, he's constantly rubbing up against Lo Nay (No. 2) 'cuz it's THAT time of the month again. Aiyah.

Eggs everywhere, but no fry yet and they mate like crazy. Even after killing 4 other fishes, I must be doing something right 'cuz fishies like to do the dirty deed on very specific conditions.

The pic is a few weeks old. My catfish has long gone and his poor body was reduced to a ghostly exoskeleton. Unfortunately, he only survived about a month before his eyeballs were cleanly plucked out, jagged fins chomped to nil and flopping on his side. I'm not sure if Lo Nay picked the crap outta him or the poor thing was diseased. He hardly ate because he couldn't see where the food was nor the direction he was swimming.

I'm done with fishes. Let's see how long these current suckers will last in this household. It's been 4 months and 3 weeks since I've gotten them...
