For all of you that use Rod's food. I have a question. Have any of you noticed that Rod's Food stinks like ass...and not just regular ass, it's like nuclear toxic ass. I'm talking about the original recipe. I know it's supposed to be good food, and my fish do seem to love it, but I just...

It must have been some sort of divine fish intervention. I was sitting in my office watching the game, It was half time...I decided to walk into the fish room. I didn't have any plans to do anything...AND THEN! out of the corner of my eye I see a fish flying through the air! He landed on...
