    I got her monday off of craigslist. He said he had her for a year and eats everything. She was finally out and about yesterday when I got home from work. I've tried 4 times in the past 3 years to keep this fish. I think I finally got a fighter. While still a little twitchy she ate some pellets and mysis last night and is holding her own with the rest of the gang. I'm all fired up now to finish my builds and go to the local frag swap this weekend.

    You're right it's kinda cruel, but I'm stuck at work and these guys are tired of listening to me blab about crap they know nothing about. I'll bring a nice camera home and get some pics and vids for you all. Guess I have to clean the glass. Dang.

    Not this time. I tried a pair of blues before with no luck. I decided not get any more leopards unless it was from someone's tank. No more straight out of the ocean for me. I love them so much that I couldn't stand watching another one die because of me.


    Thanks everyone. I'm not really a thread starter but I'm all fired up and still have a hour till I get to go home and see her.

    Well, both cameras died when I pressed the shutter release. I'll recharge and try again tomorrow. Until then you can check out this awesome picture I drew of her.
