Just hit the "currently alive over 1 year mark". I'm quite proud of that

(oh previously I voted at the alive 0-6 months)

I checked alive 6 months as that how long I've had her. I also checked alive 5 years as she was in a local tank that long before I got her.

Will be 2 years with mine this coming February! He was quite thin when I got him but plumped up quite a bit over the year. He gets ich often for no apparent reason but always kicks the ich within a few days so I've never treated him.
