Piranha Cam!
Fish Cam - These are the new guys, Buck & Wheat. They are two red belly piranhas in a 29 gallon tank that is a balmy 80 degrees. I bought them in October of 1997 and they eat about a dozen goldfish a week.
Buck is the big one, and Wheat is the Little guy. What is funny is that Wheat chases Buck. That means their names don't make much sense. Who ever heard of a Wheatbuck. :-)
On
January 29th 2000 @ 10:35pm after a great struggle and much upside down
swimming, Buck passed on to a greater fishtank in the sky. His
body remains in a cryogenic state next to Rocky - awaiting stuffing and
mounting - should he escape the dreaded "fish patty dinner". We will miss this
family man eating fish and his prayers will be with us.
UPDATE - On
October 6th 2003 at 4:54pm Wheat passed onto the great Amazon in the sky. After giving a good fight to a bout of Ick
and eating well he gave up breathing and passed on with Dave close at hand. He has joined his brothers in their cryogenic state. Unfortunately Dave's prods and chants were not enough encouragement for him to hang onto life.
