Awesome video of Mr. T. He must be a tough fish to have survived in a storm drain. I wonder if he ate during that time?

 

[Luc]

Well, for sure there where plenty of small fish in there, many cyclids and other smaller fish for the same reason as Mr.T ended up there. There is still plenty of them there.
So food wise no problem. He breaths air, so oxygen was also no problem. Just no telling what he absorbed in terms of toxics. Industrial estate with many electronics and other industries. Really stinking black water in many places.

And in our home aquariums fish can be so fragile. Mr. T's mouth looks big, Luc. Does it have teeth?
btw, loved the child's sound effects. Adorable.

Thanks for your reply, had a good laugh on your last comment, the sound effect is our 50+ year cleaning lady....lol.

Mr.T doing good. Swimming around, finished his breakfast, colors on his tail sharp and bright.
Curious and active.

Getting to work on quotes and trying to get blue prints of my house and the new one.
Then check for foundation.

Cool, so what are the plans for moving him to your houses? Any idea on when his new new home will start being built? Petting a fish, now that is a new one to me. I normally try to keep my fish away from my hands bc it kind of tickles and then I drop something in the tank. Plus I dont want to accidentally hurt them by moving my hand fast or anything.
