dang itt

Tiger the scarlet badis disappeared. He was swimming around all happy and stuff, then I didn't see him for about a week. So I took everything out of his tank, emptied it and everything, but I never found him.

A couple days ago, I bought a plakat betta from PetCo and named him Taze. With Tiger gone, Taze can have his own little tank instead of the jar I had him in.

Liberty is in a small jar out of the molly tank since she was struggling with the current. I also feed the mollies a lot more than my bettas, so she was getting really fat.

I found two more baby mollies, which are both orange and black like the first one. So now I have four molly fry and two catfish fry :D

I've been thinking lately that just plain fish tanks is starting to get boring. About a month ago, I wanted to convert the 20 into a paludarium with a salamander or fire-belly toads or something, but then I got the mollies and I'm glad I didn't do it. But now I really want to convert the 55 into a riparium and its going to be super cool.

All my babies ♥

All four of themmmmm   :D

Georgia Aquarium

I went to the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta last Monday, and it was better than Tennesseeeee.

Tennessee Aquarium

I went to the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga over Spring Break, and it was coooool.

Baby mollies!

A gold dust lyretail, of course.

I saw him swim out from under a rock, then go back. So I picked up the rock and there was this one and a black one hiding under it. They were the only two babies in the tank, so I tried to scoop them up real quick. But I wasn't fast enough and I think my betta got the black one :(

This little one is in the container with my baby catfish for now; they're almost the same size even though this molly is a whole month younger.

Well that sucks

The Aquarium Store called me two weeks ago Monday and said they were going out of business - everything reduced to 50% off. So I went there and got three Leopard Ctenompoma for only $10 and a new heater for the 55 (the old ones finally stopped working) for $20. I went back that Saturday, which was their last day open, and got two Sailfin Mollies (both male), four Lyretail Mollies (two male, two female), five Flame Tetras, a Clown Pleco, and a Marineland Magnum 350 canister filter for $140. It was a reallyyyy good deal.

The filter came with a bunch of media for the first "run-through" (idk) until it needs cleaned. It came with a bio-wheel type of thing that removes little particle from the water. The new filter has already cleared all the tannins from the water, so it's super clear and looks soooo much better now. One of the tetras has already died, but everything else is going great.

Two of the three baby catfish are still alive, but one of them has just one eye. I would cull it, the friend who wanted them when they hatched doesn't mind it only having one eye. And it's my very first batch of fry, so I just can't kill it anyway. The mollies I got are too fast for me to get a good picture of them, but I promise to have one sooon.
