So long little Fennel...

[Jace]

Unfortunately, Fennel the FBT did not make it. Try as I might, Fennel refused to eat anything, and would not accept food by tongs. Crickets and mealworms held no interest and this morning, Fennel was gone. Basil, however, is doing great and eating more than his share. He is still too small to place in the main tank, but I have a feeling by the end of the month, he will be more than able to hold his own.

I'm so sorry about Fennel. I'm glad Basil is doing better, and can't wait to hear when he's finally able to get moved. Was there a third as well?

[Jace]

Thank you. Yes, Caraway is doing very well. My one male, Barkley, is quite smitten with her, though I'm not sure the feeling is mutual! They would make cute little tadpoles.

Sorry he didn't make it.

Sorry for your loss.

I discovered one of my clowns dead this morning. He was thinning out. I hadn't seen him eat in a while, he had been ignoring the fruit flies and bean weevils. I thought he would be a goner. Well, I ran out of fruit flies, so I got 1/8" crickets and I saw him take a few swings, then finally nailed one. So I had hope he would turn around. Oh well, what are you going to do? I had him for over three years. The other clown is fine and will be getting a new tank this afternoon.

Again sorry for your loss.

Sorry about Fennel, Jo-Anna. Sorry about your Clown, Kurt.

[Jace]

Thanks everyone. I was really hoping I could pull Fennel through, but alas, it was not meant to be. Kurt, sorry to hear about your Clown. Always a glum day when one of our frogs passes....

[Kurt]

Yes, it is, and thanks.

[Eel Noob]

Sorry about both your losses.
