Denny’s Fish Room T-shirts

I decided that I’d like to have some T-shirts with my logo on them. I went to Vistaprint and had one made up (they were less expensive than anywhere else I found). I love it, but I can’t find anyone who offers them in “tall” sizes. I can’t be the only person in the world who doesn’t think it’s attractive to have your stomach sticking out from under the bottom of your T-shirt (then again, maybe I am). It’s a cool shirt even if it doesn’t fit like I would like it to.



“Tanks”

I guess I personally like a more natural look, too, and that’s probably coloring my judgement to some extent.



Fish Tuberculosis In Hobbyists

More than six months ago I was doing some cleaning of my sponge filters when I felt a sharp pain in my middle finger.

It turned out that a fish had died in that aquarium, and several of the bones had ended up in the sponge filter. As I had squeezed the filter to clean it, my finger was punctured by the bone. This had happened before, so I didn’t think too much about it.

After several months, however, I began to notice that the last joint in the middle finger on my right hand was beginning to swell and was tender to the touch. After about a month of this condition, I finally went to the doctor for examination.
