  • 10 Gallon Near-Disaster

    Had a 10 gallon spring a leak yesterday. My teenager was sleeping on the sofa, woke up, and when she got up she put her foot in water on the tile floor. She totally freaked out! She called my wife who then called me, and my wife raced home. She got there just in time to save the five high value fry that were in the tank. They were all in one corner of the tank, only half covered in water, when she got home. She managed to save all five of them and put them on a spare 20G I keep running next to the 10G that leaked. Cleanup wasn't too bad since it was tile, the main thing was the fry!

    Whew.

      Buccochromis rhoadesii, the avatar pic is the father. Female spit a couple of weeks ago, and I only was able to save five. Waited two years for them!
