 Topic: Amazing Survival
Posted: July 21 2003 at 9:41pm |
The meeting was Thursday, right. Well tonight is Monday night and I just remembered that, at the meeting, Tyler Burmingham gave me a young Bangaii Cardinal, the last one of a batch that was growing in a goldfish bowl on his kitchen table. So I'm sitting here reading posts and the remembrance comes to me...What did I do with it  Oh no... I placed it in the plastic file box I keep Treasurer stuff in.... The Bangaii is probably floating! So I go over, open the box and lift up the bag...the fish is faded because of the dark, but it's bouncing around inside!!  So I immediately open the bag scoop it up in my hand and set it into my nano.
How embarassing but amazing that it lived in the bag for 100 hours. That's over four full days! Wow!

Holly smokes!! That's awesome that he survived. A lot of fish don't make it on a plane for four hours and that one lasted four days! That's proof that you bought a hardy fish.

Bangaii are hardy, especially when they are bred and raised by a club member! Thanks Tyler.

How do you folks add that signature with dotted line and info, single spaced?

Shift-Return at the end of a line does single spacing. I think the dotted line is automatically added before your signature if you have one entered in your profile.

The two I got from Tyler at the meeting are doing great also. Nice fish, and a lot of hard work by Tyler.

Update:
The fish is looking great today.
Thanks Jon, but why would kids be any less hardy than a Bangaii?

Thats one of the babies from the mom/dad pair I sold to tyler 1 year ago!
Anybody know who has the pair now? I'd be interested in taking them to Vermont on Aug 8 if the current owner wants to part with them?
