Thanks to those members that never judged and made my dreams come to life.

I hear you there, my dogs are the love of my life, and nothing comes before them, not even my husband. The dogs and fish come before me all the time. They get fed before I eat and get cared for before I think of myself. All my fish have names and really do have personalities.

Do you notice your old fish are aging at all, or seem smarter since they are old? I would love to see them, since I am sure they have a been there and done that attitude. I have no doubts that my fish will live a long and healthy life. I spoil them rotten with all their special needs and requirements. I pity my friend who will be taking care of things when the hubby, digs and I go on holidays next month. I will have to leave small novel on all he needs to know about my gang. They really are a PITA, but to see the thrive makes it all worth while in the end. I really do love my fish.

Actually, no. I pretty much committed to the fish the same way I do with my dogs.

No, they look exactly the same, and really aren't significantly different in behavior either. Spike (Bfly) was always very sociable, loves to chase the cleaning magnet, or just flare at your finger. Trig loves to stare at me, and when I look over and catch him, he pretends he wasn't...

Barring a tank problem, I wonder how long they will live?

I honestly think that will be the end of SW for me.
