Has anyone out there taken their synodontis for a walk in the area of N.Delta on or around the beginning of Dec?
:confused:
I didn't think so...worth a try...
Okay this is a weird one...
I was rearranging my 110g turquoise rainbow/community tank one day...previously I noticed my german rams disappearing, couple rummynoses gone, glass cats were even more shy than normal, couple of round wounds on others etc...in the corner was a huge, I mean huge, java fern. I wanted to do some trimming and seperating and when I pulled it out something caught my eye but was gone before I could be sure it wasn't just a pleco. Now a couple a weeks goes by, and I am doing a fish move between several tanks, and I again pull this java fern out...now I KNOW I had seen something :wideeyed:. It is this 2- 2 1/2" synodontis! I have never seen him before and don't have a clue as to how he got there? I've had one in this tank before, like a year ago but we moved to another tank, then another, maybe even again before we took it into a LFS to trade for a smaller one cuz this one had grown outta control...we also bought a real small one for another tank. These two new are still accounted for in other tanks...the only things added to this tank were a large java fern and a bolbitis from Mr mykiss...We've asked him he never had one...therefore it did not come in on his plants....Simply, a lost and we found story :err:.

Just plain weird...

Now that's just a bit odd. Maybe the aliens beamed it into your tank...

That's weird... no way you could have missed little ones in moving stuff from one tank to another? If not, as Mr. GP says, maybe it's aliens or they have teleportation capabilities.:laugh: If so, maybe it's kind of like the lost dog or cat who suddenly appears on your doorstep when they've selected you and your home as their optimal new residence!;)

ROFL Males definitly would not mind. But with the males the ad would be too simple.
