this past weekend i relocated all my fish to a friends house (he has many giant tanks (280/300/800gal), he is housing them until i get situated after michelle and i relocate.
my 10+ year old silver dollar and his 3 3yr old buddies went into the 800 gallon.....and they are living it up, they scattered when they first went in but soon after found each other and schooled around the tanks full length of 14ft, it was fun to watch and a good place to live out their years with many other non-aggressive fish.
then there are the 3 oscars, 2 tigers 1 albino, one of these tigers was my first and i raised him since he was about an inch long.
here is the thread when i first got the silver dollar and an early stage of my fish addiction and just before i got my O's.

well my pride and joy tiger was doing ok, we had him and the albino in the 280, they were eating which is a good sign after the stress of the hour drive, they were fighting though so my friend stuck in a couple non-aggressive fish to as dithers......when he came home from work today my boy was gone, and the albino was in sulk mode (either from his dead friend or from fighting)...we don't really know the cause, but what can you do.
he isolated the albino and hopefully it'll be ok, but my pride and joy is gone.
the 2nd tiger went into the 300 and gets along with everyone except another oscar and a pacu.......but he's holding his own so he should be fine.
really kinda sucks...sure it's just a fish but o's have personalities.....
here are some pics from when he was young til the most recent....
his first kill.....
rip little buddy
