My God what is this hobby coming too!!

So you're objecting to the fact that I was given a fish that was imported and wouldn't eat and dedicating my time and money every night at 2am when I get home from work to try and save a fish from a certain death?

Anyways....



He seems to have become a lot more active since I began feeding him and he started to sift sand quite a bit throughout the night. Not to sure if he's eating on his own yet as he gets all mad and puffs up when I go anywhere near the tank. Ill continue feeding him until I can visually confirm that he is eating on his own.

Tyler's the only person I know that would try and save this critter from a starvation death, hey people it's very easy to criticize, but knowing him as I do he would not turn his back on the challenge of trying to help any animal in distress, I say "good on you Tyler". Hope it all works out.
