Lainy, I know what you mean ........................................

being Catholic & a BIG fan of St. Francis of Assisi, I have tremendous GUILT when my fish die - and it's not as though it's due to their 'cuddle factor' - but, dammit, when I bring them into my home, I'm accepting responsibility for their well-being, no less than our cats or any other critters we bring into our family ........................ went to get frozen mysis shrimp & blood worms for the puffers today - they NEED "crunchies" ;-) - they went to town on the shrimp earlier, but I think I'm going to halve their little ice cubes of shrimp & worms, as they seem to have thoroughly gorged themselves & are only nibbling the worms so as not to be .................... rude? ;-) I'm trying to get them to 'nibble' on my finger - there WAS one that had personality to spare, and would come up to the top of the tank to "play" - of course, THAT one was sold long ago ............................. :-(
