Mugsy

Here's to you Mugsy.

Ode To Mugsy

Sadly today Mugsy died. I had noticed he hadn't been his usual self the past couple days and I knew something was wrong today when Jack would nip at him and he didn't even try to swim away. I was really pretty sad to lose him because he was tied with Jr. for my favorite. So I went to Wal-mart and got a new fish today. It is a white African Chiclid and I am naming him Locke. Hopefully Locke will be able to hold his own against Howl and Jack. They seem to be the ones giving him the most trouble so far. I think once they get used to each other it will be ok though. I'll post a picture of what Mugsy looked like as a tribute.

Back again

So I've posted quite a few pics but haven't really written anything for a while. It is hard to believe the semester is half over already. How does the time go by so fast? It is sad but I really don't look forward to the summers. I was hoping to stay in Rexburg and go to school this summer. I'm not sure if it will happen, just depends on what kind of job I can get for the summer and if I can come up with the money for tuition.

Things are going good though. My classes this semester are pretty good. We finally have gotten into designing in my Advertising class. I made a pretty sweet ad just messing around here at the apartment we'll see if the teacher and rest of the class think it is good. It is nice to be designing again though.

I got a couple fish at the beginning of the semester. I started out with a 10 gallon tank and two fish, a tiger oscar I named Howl because he is black and has orange spots and a blood parrot I named Beak because it looks like it has a beak. A few weeks later I was at Wal-mart and saw a fish that was pretty cool. It is called a Red Belly Pacus, it is a cousin to the piranha but not nearly as mean. So I ended up getting one and naming it Jaws.

Howl and Jaws are really growing fast. Each one is probably 5 inches long now. I sold my 10 g. to my roommate because he wanted to get some fish and I needed a bigger tank. So now I have a 30 g tank. I also got another oscar that I'm calling Howl Jr. for now but I'm trying to come up with a better name. I also got a convict chiclid that I named Mugsy and a Jack Dempsy that I named Jack.

It's been fun to have fish, it's also really relaxing to look over and see them swimming around and to hear the water falling out of the filter. Maybe one of these days I'll take some pics of my fish and post them.
