Aquarium Advice Activist
This morning, I went to Wal-Mart with my mom.
I insisted on watching the fish while she shopped, as usual.
I approached the fish and the first thing I noticed was the emaciated African cichlids. I took a closer look, seeing a female auratus hiding in the back. She had an odd shape to her head. As soon as she faced me, I glimpsed little black eyes inside her mouth. I quickly found the nearest employee (luckily he was the guy that's usually there- he takes care of the fish and really cares about them.) and asked if I could purchase the fish. He caught and bagged her for me, and I rushed home and put her in a 10 gal by herself.
I left her alone for a while and came back an hour later to find five little auratus fry hiding amongst the gravel. I ran downstairs, told my mom, and danced around the house like an insane person (I am insane, when it comes to fish). The fry are healthy, and the mother is already eating high protein flakes and bloodworms.
Just wanted to share my little success story
