Let me start by saying 2013 was a terrible year for my family.
First, my mother went in for routine gall bladder surgery and the surgeon clipped the common bile duct. 5 months and 3 hospital later, New York Presbytarian saved her life. But instead of celebrating we found out that my wife had advanced liver cancer.
She has been battling this thing since June. We couldn't get any help from none of the hospitals near us. Fortunately, she was able to get an appointment with one of the top physicians in MD Anderson out in Houston, TX. They have tried various procedures (treatments) and some have been successful in shrinking and getting rid of some of the tumors. In 2 weeks she is going for one more treatment to target the two remaining active tumors. After that we can begin discussing liver resection and we are hoping that she remains strong enough physically and mentally to eventually under go a liver transplant.
I ended up getting rid of my tanks and all of my livestock. At least my fish went to a good home and are all in one place (Thanks Mheaven). We also had to move out of our house and into my in-laws.
These are the only fish I kept because they are my favorite and couldn't get myself to part with them.
They thanked me by spawning and giving me some distraction when I'm feeling depressed.
Anyway sorry for the winded and depressing opening paragraphs. On to the fish...here are the pictures..
