	Aquarium update 14 Oct 08


What I posted in the Guide To Fish Happiness Thread today at 6:46 am. I've had my first fish death today. Only one of my starter goldfish have died, and it is the one with slightly lower health. (There was a weird glitch one day where one of the goldfish didn't gain its 4 happiness points and the other did.) Current Tank Current Aquarium Status Overall Tank Health: 29.66% Temperature: Chilly Song: Kelp! Light: Natural Residents: 6 Goldfish 2 Arrow Fish Decorations: 6 Aquarium Christmas Gifts 3 Aquarium Fountains 3 Aquarium Pirate Skulls 2 Aquarium Big Gems 1 Aquarium Earth 1 Aquarium Overseer (obviously) Terrains: Aquarium Basic Terrain Background: Aquarium Background (Town) Tank in Sig: Yes Fish Happiness Goldfish 1: 7084 (Started Sept 24) Goldfish 2: 7080 at death (Started Sept 24) (Died Oct 14) (I have added another new one to replace it) Goldfish 3: 7056 (Started no earlier than Sept 28) Goldfish 4: 7040 (Started Oct 4) Goldfish 5: 7032 (Started Oct 6) Goldfish 6: 7032 (Started Oct 6) Arrow Fish 1: 12072 (Started Sept 24) Arrow Fish 2: 12030 (Started Oct 6) (=educated guess for start date) I haven't kept any data on my tank for my mule account, but both of my starter goldfish died yesterday and that was 24 hours after I put two cuttlefish in the tank. I also have no decorations in that tank and the tank health is much lower than it is on my main tank. I started that tank at least a week after I started my main one. Also, I know that I only have educated guesses for the start dates of those fish, but Sept 24th was the latest day it possibly could have been - as I already had a tank before the whole weird glitch thing where they said our fish didn't age that one day. I knew that happiness/health in the tank was supposed to increase the life of your fish, but I think is definitely proof of it working. Hope this is helpful.

So I have just now placed for the second time in the Arenas. Sauron placed 1st in week 38: Rogue has now placed 4th in week 40: I'm really excited as I've put a lot of thought and effort into both entries. The Sauron takes the cake, of course - that sucker took well over a year to make. So if anyone who voted happens to read this, I'd like to say thanks. ^_^ Eleclya_Lusta · Mon Oct 06, 2008 @ 02:46pm · 0 Comments

Just came across a thread and made this post: Eleclya_Lusta Oh man I wish I'd been keeping a written log instead of a mental one. I'll be happy to post my findings here. Current Aquarium Status Overall Tank Health: 14.49% Temperature: Moderate Residents: 4 Goldfish 1 Arrow Fish Decorations: 3 Aquarium Christmas Gift 1 Aquarium Fountain 2 Aquarium Big Gem 1 Aquarium Earth 1 Aquarium Overseer (obviously) Terrains: Aquarium Basic Terrain Background: None Tank in Sig: No Fish Happiness (start dates all educated guesses at the moment) Goldfish 1: 7048 (Started Sept 24) Goldfish 2: 7044 (Started Sept 24) Goldfish 3: 7020 (Started no earlier than Sept 28 ) Goldfish 4: 7004 (Started Oct 4) Arrow Fish: 12040 (Started Sept 24) Notes The first day I went through all the songs and saved after each change to see which ones the fish liked. Realizing the power of Kelp!, I decided to keep it on that setting. I then tried switching between songs but didn't realize until a day or two later that my Arrow fish did not, in fact, like the Lighthouse song (as I had originally thought). I can't remember if there USED to be hearts above them - as I seem to remember - or if I just somehow made that up in my mind. I now switch between Kelp! and Ballad of the Overseer. I make sure to switch the lights at least twice a day (waking them up, putting them to bed) but lately if I'm online enough I try to do it four times a day. I usually feed them, switch the lights, and then change the song. Then I save. I recently noticed a strange happiness glitch. I can't remember the details - but I know that it was the same day I put in my most recent goldfish. I changed a setting and all of a sudden things were reset back to the default happiness. It was fixed a bit later, but the newest fish still lost a day with getting the four points. I think the third goldfish might have also been affected. The only thing else I can think of to add at the moment is that my Arrow fish seem to have claimed the Aquarium Earth, while the goldfish prefer the Fountain. Both types will go and visit all the decorations, but they clearly have a preference - at least from what I have observed. From reading the first posts, I haven't come to any conclusions that haven't already been reached by you guys. However, I'll keep posting this information in case I can be of any help. I have also just added 2 goldfish and 1 arrow fish to the tank. So the current statistics are: Current Tank Current Aquarium Status Overall Tank Health: 14.49% Temperature: Moderate Residents: 6 Goldfish 2 Arrow Fish Decorations: 3 Aquarium Christmas Gift 1 Aquarium Fountain 2 Aquarium Big Gem 1 Aquarium Earth 1 Aquarium Overseer (obviously) Terrains: Aquarium Basic Terrain Background: None Tank in Sig: No Fish Happiness Goldfish 1: 7048 (Started Sept 24) Goldfish 2: 7044 (Started Sept 24) Goldfish 3: 7020 (Started no earlier than Sept 28) Goldfish 4: 7004 (Started Oct 4) Goldfish 5: 7000 (Started Oct 6) Goldfish 6: 7000 (Started Oct 6) Arrow Fish 1: 12040 (Started Sept 24) Arrow Fish 2: 12000 (Started Oct 6) (=educated guess for start date) Eleclya_Lusta · Mon Oct 06, 2008 @ 02:03pm · 0 Comments

	The Best Piece of Pie EVER
	The Best Piece of Pie EVER


This little number was made with love by Berry_Stylish. Here kitty kitty kitty kitty. What a cute kitty you are, and certainly the life of the party, and the queen of the jungle? No the queen of the beech. You are a special kind of kitty that prowls the shoreside, feeding off of fish and crabs, and other sea creatures who are unfortunate enough to come between your jaw,s even the seagulls have no escape. For the longest time you've lived happily on this one beech, it has no name between it is uncharted and a secret, but you lived there, in a nice little hut, manufacturing grass skirts by hand, where they were shipped off by boat to those other countries that were too cold to make grass skirts. But one day, just one day you wondered what went beyond that big blue horizon, oneday you wanted to know. Waving goodbye to all your kitty friends, you snuck up on the cargo ship, and set sail. You didn't know it was a magical sailboat mind you, and after days and days and days of sailinh, you vouldnt help but wonder"are we there yet?" So you snuck up to see exactly where in the world you were, but to your surpsise found no ocean. You were high up in space and had landed on what appeared to be a giant space mushroom, and all the little aliens were wearing your skirts, who knew they were so popular! Then you heard a booming voice, " Look , the loyal fan who sends us the royal presents!" And as you look you saw a monstrosity of a face, with a golden crown and a conehead glittering with a splendid array of colours. For you see, you had landed on the spacemushroom from Katamari Damacy, and were speaking to the great King of all Cosmos himself. You have no way back, but being with cousins like The Prince, Jungle and Marcy aren't that bad, and the Queen does make the most delightful cookies. But your friends back at home miss you so, and can only imagine the kind of places you ended up at, or if you're still alive. Several years later when you did npt return you were assumed dead, and the kittens wept bitterly for their loss, unaware that you were watching them from the space mushroom in the sky, in a space were stars have named like "bistro star." I hope you enjoy your pie serves Eleclya_Lusta · Thu Feb 23, 2006 @ 07:35pm · 0 Comments

So I went nuts and got Ben to do a text color thingie so I could jump on the fading color bandwagon. And we have gone nuts. Presets for each account on a webpage that will neatly convert your text into colored bliss! Ahh.... heaven! =^_^= And of course I have to have a different color combination for each account. The three easiest are the three that are actually clothed. The two mules are kinda naked right now but that's ok. I think it must be rather sad that I have five accounts on Gaia. The best part is that Eleclya started out as a mule... and then took over as the one I use the most. And my third account, which started as an addition to the roleplaying for my first account, is now the one I use the second most. Poor Maggie got left in the dust. Oh well. I'm a geek.

Sarkany used that expression in regard to her boyfriend tonight in the AT. I found it highly amusing and appropriate for my current mood. Hope I get the bloodstains out. Eleclya_Lusta · Thu Feb 03, 2005 @ 05:01am · 0 Comments

That is such a weird-looking word when you write it out. I'm going cross-eyed just trying to understand why it looks so unlike what it sounds like. So I've been in a bit of a funk lately. Only it's not a real funk, because not all the funk-feelings are bad. It's just.... weird. I'm having all these thoughts, feelings and emotions that are crashing together and leaving unintelligable pieces behind for me to salvage. Ok so this is EXACTLY why I don't do journals. I read that last paragraph and am like..... "My GOD woman, stop sounding like a scared 12 year old approaching puberty and ******** grow up! Stop the whining!!" So if that is my own response to my own feelings written out, I know that it's not coming out right. I don't feel whiny. I don't even feel all that bad. I just feel.... off. Like I'm missing something. Like - this path I'm on is all well and good, but I missed the turnoff with my name on it. This one might be a parallel road, but it's just not the right one. So the question is: Am I actually in the right place and I'm not making enough out of it or am I not where I'm supposed to be? sigh The control freak in me does not like it when I can't name things. I need to KNOW what it is before I can deal with it... and this kind of thing? Hell. I'll probably never figure it out. Go figure. Eleclya_Lusta · Thu Jan 27, 2005 @ 05:16am · 0 Comments
