After several water changes, adding salt, a bacteria stone, and several tablespoons of nitrite dissolving solution, the tank finally cycled properly and is no longer toxic. The neighborhood has dropped charges against the authorities, despite their attorney’s advice.
When asked why, Pinky, a Lyretail Fairy cichlid, said, “Don’t make it sound like we’re haters. We were dying when we pressed charges. We aren’t dying now so why wouldn’t we drop charges?”
Despite the trauma, the neighborhood is still gleeful when they see the authorities and are not holding any grudges against them.
“We practice tolerance,” Brain, Pinky’s husband, stated, “we saw the good intentions behind all the blumbers that were occurring. They even prayed for us. Obviously they care, and we’ve decided to be a forgiving community.”
Authorities are relieved and grateful that the tank is peaceful once more and are looking forward to surprising the community with a special banquet tonight. Until then they will be looking into why Milquetoast the Plenco is missing a piece of her tail.
