Title: Julies are tough
Post by: Jaws22 on January 13, 2013, 12:19:42 PM
I picked up a 55g set up yesterday with a breeding colony of J. Dickfeldi, a super large Mbuna some kind of Zebra, and a Pleco of some sort. On my way home a young girl tried making a left turn on red POW right into me. I saw a lot of water coming from the front end of my van, thinking it was the radiator. When I went for a smoke opened the door water pours on to the street along with my fish. As I'am on all fours picking fish out of the van and road, the police show up. The officer says are you ok? I tell him I need water. So I walked to the gas station and had to use ice cold water. When I got home I put the fish in tank I did'nt want to use for them. Well this morning I checked them out and did'nt loose a single fish.
