Anything introduced into the tank…
of my aquarium has the potential to contaminate/crash my tank…weather it be a new; fish/frog/turtle/plant/bulb/artificial ornament/my own hands… Did I wash them? Aftershave/Cologne, beacon grease, 409, Head and Shoulders Refresh, even over spray of Glass Plus, to much pH Down/Up, Overfeeding, overheating. etc
New additions; although risky, can bring new life, beauty and self-admiration to the safety of this isolated atmosphere.
When I introduce anything new to this environment, I consider it experimental because anything could happen that might set off a series of seriously F*&^%’ed up chain of events.:)
I think you have a beautifully balanced community tank here Wahz…
When I step back and look at it as a whole… it is colorful with brilliance, wildly wide in variety, with each bringing it’s own complimentary contribution whether excepted by the other fish or not.
This metaphoric comparison of the two environments I felt I have been in tune with was brought to light when I found a fish hovering just off the bottom of the tank while the others were feeding. Although it is not one of the more; visually pleasing to the eye fish in the community, I would hate to loose it because it is one of two who are different but compliment each other thus sustaining the wideness of contributions to it’s mini society.
I must say I have been guilty with haste in acceptance of passerby’s because I know that some fish do not belong with others.
I would hate for me or anyone else here to be bit or diseased from a; “scientific name”, dropinspampumpanddumpicus:)
LOL... in Wahz we trust:)
Very interesting experiment… My sociology rolls on:)
