Wow. It's been a long time since I updated here.


So, only 1 female swordtail survived. Male and2 females dead. Do not by livebearers from petco!

In the fight against fin rot, I think I've won!!! But 1 Loach got some weird disease and died. I take responsibility for overstocking.


But on the good side, I got a syphon! So now I can do water changes on an ACTUAL schedule! Yay!

So, besides the betta, how're your tanks? And I'm sorry for the loss, but keep looking! I've had fish hide for months only to be found when I'd forgotten I had them.

The tanks barely planted, and the bettas not in his spot. He's ALWAYS in his spot, unless he's eating or getting a gulp of air.

Well, the tanks are doing Ok, but the probable loss ofthe betta delayed the 5 gallon for now.

remember this. Never by swordtails from petco. All but one died. Luckily, she's super healthy. But that was a while ago. So she's past the dying phase.

Also, a black phantom baby died from-guess it-fin rOt!!! It didnt have a dorsal fin! Come on-I thought it was all over!!

Also, I might have mentioned this, butmi decided to grow some plants outsid until i get a new light. That backfired. Something ate the amazon sword, my baby tears, anacharis, and duckweed got nocked over. But you've gotta gO through trial and errOr... :)

Ok, I think the 5 gal won't be happening for a while. See my my thread 'Sadness' to see why.
