I really want to get rid of my albino cories. I let my kids pick them out and I really prefer the darker kinds, but really I would rather have almost all inverts in my tanks. I contacted a guy about more cherry shrimp.
School is really unpleasant right now. I have made As every semester and I hope I do the same. It really stresses me out because they changed curriculum so if we fail we can't just make up a semester - we are just out on our rear. I don't think I will fail but the thought is always there.
I am really getting annoyed by olAf the twin tail. He has been hanging in the back of the tank and he takes his sweet molasses time coming out for feeding. I am busy and impatient right now so after I dunk fish jello, veggies, and flakes in there he has had time to make it up for his pellets
I crushed my first snail clutch from these new snails (looked like a dud after a week). I crushed part of the second one and am incubating some of it. Then yellow snail outed herself as the mama and laid a tiny nickel size clutch which I am just gonna let hatch in my tank.
Dill is getting darker in his black spots. He's so cute.
I am trying to change my cleaning day to Thursday from Saturday and nobody seems worse for wear that we are overdue. I'm under stocked so it helps
I caught the yellow snail as the mom of these clutches. I hope she bred with the lsp- would be an interesting clutch. I don't need 100 yellows!
Dill seems lonely in the 10 with snails and shrimp. I think he enjoyed harassing the other fish. Suck it up buttercup!
I have not named the new red koi yet. Still taking suggestions. I like cute names not regal ones.
One of my friends kids is wanting a small pet and I offered to give her Olaf and a purple snail. I am relieved because they are a great home and he just glass surfed the 10 and hid in the 20. He will have a 2 gallon and I think that will be good for him. I had bought extra snails just for this little girl (fellow snail lover).
Not exactly altruistic - Olaf needs a smaller tank and I don't want to run a third tank (well except as grow out or hospital )
These are the purple snails feasting in a cup
And here is the mama laying eggs (she's actually very bright and pretty but the lifting was bad
I think these were all yellow?? Not sure. I might have some jades but it will take a few days to see better since they are sesame seed size. These hatched in about 10 days - a record!
Well my little friend who got olaf asked me for MOAR SNAILS so she will definitely get some. I might put some on the marketplace but I have a tiny clutch that was laid that looks way different than the others so I am thinking ti is a different snail. If so, that would give me more colors to offer. I only hatched a little pinch of my second clutch. I destroyed and threw the first away (seemed infertile and wasn't showing anything under candling), I destroyed another today. I left the tiny one up (it's like a nickel size). someone got cute and laid on the lid this morning and I will probably destroy that too. I'm thrilled hatching only a pinched off bit worked...as you can imagine the snails get out of control if you don't destroy most of it and I don't have time to sell on eBay or whatever as this is my last semester of school.
Mystic- they are good little fish (the cories) and so hardy compared to some of the cories they sell. If you lived near me you could have them because I know you would be a great home. I got 2 emeralds at petsmart for $2 each a couple weeks ago- the sale might be on still. I confused them for bronze. oh well!

So i had caught my yellow snail laying long skinny egg sacs and then there was one fat short one. I let it hatch instead of destroying thinking it looked like another snail's handiwork. I was right! all da bebbez! I have some striped ones (they have dots when they are born). I can't tell if they are LSP or DSP or brown or what. I will hopefully be able to tell in a week or so. YAY!
Ok I have about a million snail babies (I have crushed a ton of eggs). I got a couple of chestnut shell with white foot and then most are black or yellow.
I'm in my last semester of nursing school and I thought I would be happy but I'm just really stressed. I want a very desirable speciality and I'm starting to panic that I won't get it. I have a 4.0GPA but people have connections and that usually wins over grades. I'm also older so I worry they look at me and see someone who won't bring as much long term value as a 20 year old. I had a job interview with a great hospital for a residency in my desired specialty and didn't get the job I wanted (there was only one spot) but they did call back yesterday and offer to let me interview for leftovers. I couldn't make it due to having clinical and they refused to change the interview date. She said she would call me if she had anything left over. I feel like a toy on the island of misfit toys at this point.
I stayed home to be with my kids and I hate how unemployable it has made me feel. I have zero confidence in getting a job. Even with the 4.0.
