Title: [CRAZY FIND] 2.25" Petro Trew in bottom of FX5!?
Post by: Mastiffman on October 10, 2015, 10:14:56 PM
This was nuts!

 I was performing full cleaning of the 5 Breeder tanks on the first floor and found this girl and 2 others in separate tanks. 1 petro trew is 2.25" and had to be in the bottom of the FX5 since before the summer. I had put 7 1.5-2" fry into this 235g and I ended selling the 5 that were left. I found 1 dead behind the tank a month ago and thought the other one was eaten. Low and Behold it was in the filter. LOL

I also found an Mpulungu Tropheus fry in the bottom of the FX5 of their tank and a Bulu Point fry in the bottom of the FX5 on their tank!

What a great day!

LOL- I wish my friend. Sorry I haven't called you back yet. Hows everything?

Kids are back in "home school" and preparing for some shipments of fish that are being collected. Been busy with that SHtuff!

 Very unfortunate. I'm sorry about that Mike. I'll be praying about it for you.
