Fish crisis in my house this past couple days. We used
to have 6 fish in our 10 gallon tank (5 goldfish and 1 betta). As of
yesterday afternoon, we only have two left. Something was picking off
the goldfish one by one. In a desperate attempt to keep the remaining
fish alive, I went to Walmart and bought some fish medicine and an
oxygen pump system. Bleh... kind of a waste of money but dammit, I feel
I have a responsibility to these fish that were given to me for
Valentine's Day. So far, after the water treatment and new
arrangements, a few hours have passed and the two fishes are looking
well. They are darting back and forth in the tank enjoying the open
space to roam.
I suppose in a couple days, or sometime after
payday, I will purchase a couple more to replace the dead ones. It's a
good thing we got some cheap fish to start off with. No use buying any
expensive "test" fish.
Vero thinks that I give the fish way too much attention but damn, I never really had an aquarium before and I like it. (she is just jealous.. hehe)
It's like a side hobby now other than the work on the computer and
websites. I find it relaxing and in some strange way... a sense of
reason. Don't ask what that means. It is just one of those things that
makes sense to me, myself, and I. hehe... nite nite.. time for sleep.
Way past my bedtime!
