I was sitting at the kitchen table today organizing some bills and heard water running somewhere. Thought maybe the tank on the back of the toidy was running or something. Followed the sound into my computer room where I have a 32 gal aquarium w/ my big pleco in it. Oh man oh man...............water was coming out the bottom at a pretty good rate all over the floor. Ran and got buckets to set under it while I ran for towels and a siphon hose. In between I'm rescuing the pleco w/ a big net and trying to get him into a bucket before all the water is gone out of the tank. Hubby gets home and walks in to the disaster and we are both wiping up water, emptying buckets etc. Looks like I need to find a home for him now for sure. Called a guy who has 40 some aquariums in his home as a business and hopefully I can take the pleco to him on Thursday. Meanwhile he is living in a 5 gal bucket w/ an air stone and I keep giving him some clean water partially. Hope he will be ok w/o a filter for a couple days. It's warm in my computer room so that should be ok. I am too pooped to pop right now...........ohhhhhhhhhhhh my aching back, ma ma
