Updates on my babies~

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on Updates on my babies~

Aloha! It’s been a while since I updated my blog.

My Baluku died; I put him to sleep. Why? Because I transferred in 2 mini puffer fishes from my shrimp tank. And the mini puffer fishes was feeding on my poor little Baluku’s fins/tail. By the time noticed it, it was too late. It looked like his fins and tail are rotting. And I can’t bear to see him suffer anymore, so we decided to put him to sleep. It was the toughest decision I had to make, and execute. I was crying my lungs out while carrying the process. I am filled with guilt every time I look at his photo. Why didn’t I take out the puffer fish earlier? WHY?

And who can blame except myself for his poor state? Only Baluku was badly affected since he was unable to swim properly due to SBD. I am such a bad owner. I have since removed the puffers, because I cannot stand anything, or any fishy hurting my baby goldfishes. 😥

Following the death of my beloved Baluku, 220 died on the night of mooncake festival. He fell sick. He had some white dots on him, we took him out and place him in QT, and he just… died.. My heart broke into million pieces.

220 fell sick, and the white spot was covering his face. So we took him out and placed him in QT. And his body was upright when we found him not moving (mouth and fins not moving)
And, I was crying my lungs out when I took him out of the tank. 😥

Isnt 220 cute? I love him to bits!
Also to update on my shrimp tank. We have upgraded my little shrimp tank to a 3 feet tank. And we are rearing Sulawesi shrimps + some neocardinal shrimps.
This was my little perfect 9 (photo taken in September). And then, 220 died in October. 😦
And it totally seemed like the bright light on the other side is attracting my goldfishes. They hang around at this corner for quite a while. Aren’t they cute?
This one of my new addition in September. His name is 180. He’s kinda crazy when it’s feeding time, so sometimes, I will call him sot sot (which means crazy)
This is our 2nd addition. His name is call Chao Ta (which means burnt). We bought quite a few Thai Ranchus before, and sadly, none of them survived.

I made some changes to the shrimp tank. I transferred all the neocardinals to my goldfish tanks. In order to cull the wild color shrimps. Some sacrifices has to be made. I will buy more snowball when I am done with culling the wild-lings in my shrimp tank.

Psssttt, the shrimp photos are taken with a macro lens that I bought recently. I hope I will be able to take more stunning photos of my shrimps and goldfishes. I will share more pictures in my next post. Do keep a lookout!
