Day 488

Bad news...Clown Knife in tank#9 took a turn for the worse last night. Been having trouble last few weeks, laying on bottom, heavy breathing. Fish would only eat live goldfish, became thin no matter how many goldfish I fed him. Avoid live feeding because of disease and low nutritional value. This fish would not switch over to frozen shrimp, tried many times...doesn't look good...
*update-Clown Knife passed this afternoon...I still think it was live feeding him goldfish was his downfall. The tank he was in was #9, this tank was cleaned, with a 75% water change..Flowerhorn from Thailand(tank#6) is in it by himself, see if I can get him to grow!
Tanks #6 & #2 were completely broken down today, ready for John to pick up. I will renumber tanks today on this blog.  Found a 20" Pacu on craigslist, going to set up a pickup date for fish next week from Ron and Dawn, thanks!
8" RTC ate a pice of thawed fish 1/4 his body size last night, not hand fed, he found it during the nightly feeding.
