A sad day. Today I buried Ladybird my Mbu Pufferfish. I planted her under a new gooseberry bush to remember her by. I came home from my Kentucky trip very late at night. The next day I went into the fish room and Ladybird was not doing well, upside down, had lost equilibrium. Eyes sunken in, belly sunken in and back sunken in. Almost dehydrated looking. It looked like a fish that hasn't eaten in months. Also had a bacterial infection on her tail. I have never seen something like this before. However my wife had fed her the day before and we can see camera footage of her looking fine the day before as well.I moved fish around and freed up a 150 gallon quarantine tank. Moved her there and added salt and meds. I knew the odds weren't great. The next day she had passed. It's always hard loosing a pet, we had ladybird for nearly 8 years. After loosing Murphy a couple months back, I am now without a mbu puffer in my life. I think I'll be taking a break from them for a while, not because I don't love the fish. Mostly because I'm not ready to be done grieving my pet friend losses. I won't be making a video on this. Over my career, I've learned and decided that sensationalizing the death of a fish isn't what I want to do. While I realize there are educational aspects to videos like this, I don't have much insight to offer into what went wrong or how I could have changed what happened.Instead I will say enjoy your fish while you have them. I remember my pets with a plant in my yard. Let them return to the earth and grow into something new for us to remember them by and help nature. This gooseberry tree will feed the local wildlife and I setup a small plant dish to hold water from the irrigation system so that birds may visit Ladybird.

No live stream again tonight. Throwback to pond season 2014. I want to get some setup again this season. Gonna try and dress em up a bit more. Got a project to work on this week, hope to share it with you guys after.
This place was neat. I'd love to see this become a trend in the USA. Garage specialty fish stores. Breeders and high quality stock. Some exist but very few have the retail front part to it. Quite a new experience and to see the locals partaking like a normal store basically.
