Hello from the Aquarium


 My fish family are healthy and happy. They include Felix, the Betta, Oscar, the albino Cory Cat, and Tom Tom, the little Neon Tetras. Although I'd seen on You Tube that you might keep guppies with Bettas, I'm going to have to call bullshit as usual. Kojak, Telly, and Baby did not make it. I'll tell you something else, they instigated the problems by teasing Felix, picking on him, and swiping his food out from under him. They couldn't have been very smart as Felix is like a tiny dragon. Anyways, later, I've read that the real experts say not to keep guppies with Bettas as they nibble each other's fins. That's an understatement. Anyways, these four seem happy. I've got some plants with them: Anubis, a Java Fern, and a Marimo Moss ball, but I wanted some floaters as I do not care for the Anacharis, I find it messy, and have ordered some little lily like pads and baby's tears. I think they're going to like them.

I've got a little fish cemetery going out in the garden. I cover them with seashells. Felix will not be getting any more guppy treats. Too bad, I have always liked guppies. They never last long. Read that they usually don't make it through a water change, but Telly was very hardy, if not stupid.

  Watched A Ghost Story on free MAX. It was good. The pet cemetery was sad, but the sky was orange and black.  Halloween & More
