The uplifting story of the little Chromis who could! 🐟
I might be super into fish tanks, but I still have a $10 fish in my personal tank and frankly I love the little guy. He doesn’t have a name, although he probabaly should now..
So I’m cuddling Odin on the ground the other day, and I hear a slight commotion coming from Nyx across the room. Anyone who knows Nyx wouldn’t have looked either, he’s literally commotion as a dog lol. Anyways, I’m snuggling away and finally I hear Nyx trying choke something out on his dog bed. Me freshly cleaning the house and bedding I rip over to steer him onto the tile floor where he then proceeds to throw up my fish.. yup.. chromis on the ground, but kinda like untouched and looked alive. So I look at the tank and yup he must have jumped out at random, Nyx found him and scooped him up and carried him over to the dog bed where he choked on him and spit him back out. So I RUN with my little fishy over to the tank and I plop him back in. He must have been stunned or something because he just started making circles for at least a day or two. Well, today is a great day. Our little friend is back to being himself and is living a good life. I’m so thankful he’s ok I really like him.
Anyone wanna help me come up with an awesome name for this little survivor?!? I feel like he earned it

** UPDATE ** New video added, THANK YOUUUU
Entire description below:
Milkshake is now home safely and unharmed.
First off, thank you SOOO MUCH everyone. This is humbling how much everyone cares. Thank you 🙏🏻. Because of everyone’s texts, phone calls and whatever else, I was able to identify one of the people who is well known in the west Kelowna area which lead to the other two being identified as well. The lead with the RSS lanyard was a dud, my apologies. Yay Rutland though lol. Thank you to every person affiliated with the school board who reached out to offer assistance. It’s funny the outpour of not only Rutland Senior but the support of a few schools who showed their support.
The three teenagers went to the mall right after lifting Milkshake and flaunted her around. About two hours later they continued to make their way with the snake to west Kelowna and got off at Boucherie. All three have been confirmed as west Kelowna residents.
I spoke with RCMP this morning. This person helped me last time and supported me in the way I handled the bearded dragon getting stollen. He specializes in troubled youth. I gave him all the information I have, including travel routes, times, perfect description, photo identification, and multiple people who have contacted me with aligning tips. The officer was impressed with our work and assured me he would make sure we get the snake back. “Iron clad case.” As of right now we have the name and information for all three suspects but as far as I know there’s no confirmed communication with the girl in red who currently has the snake presumably.
I had one of their numbers so I called and tried to have a level conversation with them. Maybe just plead the safety and health of the snake. Unfortunately no answer. I texted that number asking the same in hopes I’ll just get her returned. No response.
I’d like to see how tomorrow goes and give both the officer and the suspects a chance to make this righ

Wanna see my fish tank? 🐠 👀
Just a fish in a bucket 🤷🏼♂️
For those who wanna know more; this is a roughly three year old Arowana that we moved today. To safely transport I have him setup in a 55 gallon drum in the back of my truck running an fx4, a heater and bubbler. Before I did that, I kinda wanted to check him out a bit so I took this video. He was super easy to work with and took the move nicely. He’s back in his quarters but in a new location and happy with life again. Hope you enjoy this little video.
Some of you may already know I’m pretty crafty and hands on. The odds are, if I got you something I probabaly made it. This year for my family, my co workers and their partners, I made everyone a custom Purple Seahorse Mug. Each print is custom tailored for the recipient and hand made. What’s everyone’s thoughts on home made gifts?? Would you rock a PSH mug? ☕️
Merry Christmas Facebook family ❤️
How to clean a fish tank in under 15 seconds
Everyone keeps sayin’ eventually I’m gonna slow down but this tank only took 14 seconds to clean 🤷🏼♂️
..Still billing for an hour 🙊
Here fishy fishy, free back tickles 🤗
I’m not quite done yet, but this is my latest frog tank I built. All from scratch, everything was either myself or Finley 😂. As much as a four year old can help let’s be honest lol.
This will be my fifth frog vivarium I’ve done to date. The second one still being on display at the store. I try to grow and evolve my skill set with each build making them more complicated or more in depth. I’m not entirely done this one yet, just waiting on a couple plants and parts to finalize it. I’ll do a write up on my methods and what I did when I get some spare time but I figured I’d share this little video with the masses. It’s roughly 35 gallons with a 1.6 gallon pond and filtered waterfall. Bioactive, with an automated misting system. Drilled with a drain spout on the bottom, automatic water top off hardlined to my reverse osmosis water filter. Uvb, plant and night time led lighting. The water feature has 22 blue and white LEDs scattered between the rock work so the entire water feature is illuminated at night top to bottom.
Let me know what you think! I’m always looking for ways to improve or seeing other people’s enclosures. So feel free to drop a pic of yours in the comments or leave some feedback!
This is why Nemo and Marlon have trust issues 😂. Here I am, just clowning around at work 🤷🏼♂️ 🧽 🐠
Ever wonder what the inside of your tank looks like from your fishes perspective? I’m swimming with the fishes today! Figured I’d take my phone with me and snap a couple short videos. At two thousand gallons, this is one of our larger aquariums that I cleaned today. Was easier to do from the inside 🤷🏼♂️
Moorish idol, Dog face puffer, black spotted puffer, lipstick tang, sailfin, two spot signal goby, Royal gramma, spotted mandarin and psychedelic mandarin, urchins for days, MASSIVE copper bands that are super healthy and hungry for aiptasia, clowns, sand sifting gobies and the list goes onnnnn. Literally ten boxes of saltwater fish this week, zero doas and all at 20% off today only!! Come see me I’m here all day. Got issues with your tank? come bug me. Extra staff on hand so I’ve got lots of time to talk tank maintenance issues 🙂. Happy Black Friday fb fam love you all thanks for the support ❤️
We added a few more chickens to our flock today. Finley is super excited.
