Cleaning day for the bettas

So after four hot hours at the horse farm this morning, I decided to clean my betta tanks. I started around 2:30, emptied and scrubbed the first one, then set it back up around 4:30. The second one only took an hour, then I had to scrub the jar that Gary was in. I got everything done and the fish were in their tanks by around 6:30. I didn't really expect it to take all that long, but I really didn't have anything else to do.

While I was filling the tanks back up, I wanted to try out the NutraFin Betta Plus that I got the other day. The directions said to use 1 capful per 1/2 gallon, but the bottle is so small. I mostly just want to see how my bettas do with the Indian Almond Leaf extract in their tanks. So I only put two capfuls in each tank, then used my Aqueon conditioner. I didn't bother to scrape the bubbles off anything in the tanks yet, but they'll come off eventually anyway.

Gary really seems to like the new tank. He has more horizontal swimming space than he did in the jar, and he has more light than what the kitchen window provided. As soon as I put him in the tank, he was already looking for food, so that's a good sign. But I noticed that his gill plates are looking pretty bad, so I hope that Betta Plus stuff works.

Liberty is just swimming around like she always has. The lighter-colored gravel makes her colors stand out better, and she looks a little more purple than before. It's super cutee.

After I got done with cleaning the tanks, I decided to clean my room (hahahahah). I got most of it clean, but  I'll be finishing some other day. That pretty much means it'll never be done. But I feel pretty good about my weekend; I accomplished more than I had originally planned.
