Bubble the therapy fish

Bubbles went to a behavioral center today to be a therapy fish that they named Doc Toxin :D
he has a purpose now, other than just looking sad in my living room.

Betta tanks

I am in the market for a new and safer betta aquarium,
so i've been checking out aquariums online, and ran into a few questionable ones.



These are much too small for bettas, so much so, that there is hardly room for movement and bettas love to swim.

More bad luck

Today when i turned on the aquarium light I noticed that Klaus "the angry oscar" has developed some sort of light white spot on the top of his head. I don't know what it is as of yet, but i will venture to guess that it is a mold.  If anyone happens to read this blog, and knows what it might be please comment.

Sally got fin rot: update 1

So far Sally has been taking well to everything.
The tank Cleaning was a success and she hasnt responded negatively to the medicine.




Klaus and Stimpy are doing well so far, they've only been part of our home for a few days and we hope to keep them happy and healthy.

Sally got fin rot


I am currently treating Sally for fin rot, and decided to share my process with everyone in case this ever happens to you.

1: Do a complete Tank clean; Some have suggested using bleach, but I am extremely careful with the health of my betta, therefore i use dawn dish soap. It is EXTREMELY important to RINSE, RINSE, and RINSE! If you have rocks i would suggest throwing the old ones out and replacing them as I did.
2: Once you have thoroughly cleaned your betta tank you should add the medication.  For example i went to Wal-Mart and purchased Lifeguard All-In-One Treatment slow release formula.  Follow the specific directions on the back TO THE LETTER.
3: After using the treatment i would suggest changing a minimum of 25% of the water.

** I'm currently on day one of Sally's treatment, but i have treated other fish for this in the past.
** I will keep everyone updated

                   Drew Sally "as a cartoon" the snowmageddon has made me extremely bored.
