Chromis Oh Chromis

So my first 3 fish in this hobby were teeny tiny Chromis. Hours after I purchased them we soon realized that 2 of them were schooling well and picking on the other one. So we quickly named the 2 bullies Biff and Skip. and the third one Pablo. Well seconds after naming them Biff and Skip thought it would be cool to see what was inside a Aquaclear 801. So Off the the LFS to get 2 new Chromis, and some Maxi Jet 1200 with screens. So these 3 Chomis have been with me now for nearly 5 years. I never named the new 2 and quickly lost track of who was Pablo

So fast forward 5 years and the three Chomis are Huge to the point were one has developed streamers and has become male.
one day 2 weeks ago I noticed one of the females had stopped eating and was spending most of its time hiding in the rock work. Last week it died.
this morning I go down to check the tank and there is one of our cats playing the very fun cat game... Bat the fish around the floor... Well I thought damb. that's another one. and then I saw it breath. so I through it in the tank. Boy I didn't realize how much cat hair was on it. So 10 hours later and yes its a little worst for wear but I think it'll make it.

anyway though I'd write a short novel here just for fun.

LOL... yeah at least your cat didnt get to have sushi!!! My girlfriend's stupid cat jumps on the front glass of my tank thinking it can grab the fish or anything that moves... Then it runs away cause it knows that if i catch her she's gonna get her a$$ whooped .

Nice novel J.
