This is how all my pigs of fish are. They are all non chalant, then bam they see me and immediately swarm begging for food.

I was supposed to pick up my hippo today, having already purchased meds & readied a QT. However the last couple of days, some doubt has been nagging me - just couldn't get past the size of this fish. I do get attached and plan with years in mind for any of the animals in my care. Finally, this morning, like the doofus I am, I did this:

It really helped put things in perspective. I decided it just didn't feel right and I should take my time to add something that would be awesome in my tank. :sad:

Wow, I really commend you for putting so much thought into the long-term well-being of your charges. Good job.
