.
2018 is over. It was interesting, to say the least. I only have Romeo and Juliette left, betta wise. I'm prepping to paint my room and the stress of moving Q's tank did him in. Romeo and Juliette are very happy and healthy, though. I'm not getting more bettas, but plan on bettering my care for my t...

RIP Owen
Owen lost his fight with dropsy last night. He will be missed. Owen was my first betta and it was him who sparked my love for bettas and the desire to learn proper care. SIP. :heart: On a related note, I would like to move Zach out of his 5 gallon and into the 10. I'm not sure if dropsy is contagious so...

Fish Bowl
I got a fish bowl today and would like to do something cute with it. I will NOT be putting any fish in the bowl! My idea was to plant it. Any ideas for plants I could use? I will be getting a substrate for plants and I have fertilizer. What sort of lighting should I use? Would I need a filter? ...

First Attempt
I decided to try making some Catappa Extract. Because I only have mini leaves I used a couple handfuls I have small hands xD . I have fish coming tomorrow in the mail and was wondering how to use this stuff now that I have it. I have a little over 300 ml.

New Fish Coming!
I just ordered two new bettas! I'm super excited for them to get here. They should be arriving August 2nd due to the fact the seller doesn't ship until Monday/Tuesday to avoid weekend holds. Both are halfmoon dumbo ears, one male and one female. Don't have names picked out yet. According to the sell...

Continue Medication?
I came home from vacation a couple weeks ago to find Owen sick, as you may have seen from my previous post. He's had daily salt baths since then, and started medication with KanaPlex a week ago today. He had three doses, as the bottle instructed. Do I do another round of doses? He's not completely b...

Help! Sick Fish!
I just got back from vacation and came up to check on my fish. I think Owen is pineconing. He is definitely pale and looks bloated, and I'm pretty sure he's pineconed. I have epsom salt , but no medications. Can I feed him? It's been about a week since he's eaten. Haven't had time to check parameter...

Frozen Food Help?
I recently started feeding frozen foods to my bettas. My LFS only had the cubed variety originally I was planning on buying the 16 oz flat sheets, but the closest store with it in stock is like 2 hours away so I got those. I place the cube in a small lid with some tank water to thaw and I always e...
