i loved him and this sp of caks personality so much that when he died 2 months ago i had to get another one, the new guy isnt near as crazy, but still adds that little bit of crazy to the tank:)

You gotta have a little bit of crazy in a tank...

or alot of crazy e.g. trophs

or alot of crazy e.g. trophs

In that case, I'm surrounded by crazy! No wonder I feel so 'normal' when I'm around my fish. )

All of these fish are deceased but they are the ones I named.

Senegal Bichir: Luke (because I named him Luke my sister named her two Oranda goldfish Han and Chewie.)

Bettas:
Pinky (my fave. I didn't know pinkish Bettas existed before him.)
Beauty (my sister's and then mine)
Elmo (He was really red.)

3 Tiger Barbs: Athos, Porthos, and Aramis
Red-Tailed Shark: D'Artagnan (D'Art for short. He was really speedy so it fit but I also wanted to keep with the theme.)
