Wow, that's real crazy.

Not too much of an update today. There's some sort of film on part of the surface in Demi's tank which I'm just going to scoop out...

And for some reason Phy's tank looks a little cloudy...could it be because I took out the filter? It's wierd cuz he got new water yesterday. 100% new =/

But in any case, both are still happy. =) Demi's resting more today, but Phy's busy building another nest =D

It could be from lack of water changes.

It was a 100% water change yesterday. The gravel was rinsed, so were the decorations and bamboo before I put them in. In a 2.5 there shouldnt need to be a water change every day. But I'm keeping an eye on it.

You would probably only need 2 100 percents weekly.

[Syriiven]

That`s what I thought. I think the film on Demi`s tank`s surface might`ve been from food I might`ve missed cleaning up.

[ChoclateBetta]

I like the names you chose.

[Syriiven]

Thanks much ^^ I like Carter's name =D

So not much to report today. Phy's tank cleared up and there's no more scummy residue on Demi's water =) I did however read a few articles and found out they'll flare at black pens. Well I didn't have a black pen but I had a black katana letter opener and that worked real well - though Demi darted from it and only flared and chased when I pulled it away xD Phy was srsly not cool with it so near his nest bubbles >:3

Both having had their daily dose of excitement, I got a few pics which are in my albums =)

And I got some decent-like ones of Demi, and a blurred one. -sigh- I'm beginning to think getting a digital camera with a good zoom or video would be best to show her off. But her fin's growing even more! =D I'm so excited she's healing so well! And she's not bent at all any more! Flits around all the time, though she still doesn't really attempt to control her decent in the tank.

And Phy has two bubblenests/mounds going! Woooo!

[Syriiven]

Yay! 50% Water changes today and now that I have their heaters working again they'll be happy and back to normal soon! I can't express how much I truly hope that the white growth on Demi's fin is actually fin >.< Just never seen a fin grow back from nothing before.

And Phy's nest is getting so big! It's half an inch thick too =D





When I go to the city next weekend I'm picking up plants for everyone's tanks. I'm thinking Demi might appreciate more low covering foliage because she spooks bad when I turn on the light for the room >.<
