Needed a place just to store my thoughts, so I though, yeah, why not here?
I may as well start by saying that I am already stressed out about school! Yes, goodbye relaxing school holidays! I have my bf and my little fishy's that always make me feel better though.
Speaking of fish, I finally got to go to Fishchick Aquatics! For those of you who might not know who owns it, it's Jodi-Lea Matheson, who is the Australian transhipper for AB. I got some Java Fern, Java Moss and IAL along with some tiny snail, which I didn't see until I had put the plants in. Sneaky thing must've been hiding.
The fish there were so beautiful! My mum promised that if I get my learners lisence first go, I can get any fish I want from their, so Ill be studying like mad!
Sadly, little unnamed passed away this morning. I'm not sure what caused it, or what happened but she seemed to be having ALOT of trouble breathing or swimming. May she always swim under the rainbow bridge.
So, yesterday I also had my opaque VT Ace pass away. He was always on the sickly side, but I tried so hard to keep him alive in his final hours. I buried him under some leaves and put some tank water and gravel on his grave, so he could always remember is home.
On a happier note, Jodi-Lea is having a massive stock of fish! She's selling all her show stock and I have my eye on this little guy to get on the weekend! So Excited!
Well, I guess this has been a bad week. Stu has now fallen ill, and his chances don't look to good. I really hope he pulls through. I'm so worried. Plus, how do I clean the tank with the bleach solution?
According to Sakura8 it's an internal strain of acute colonmanaris (?) Also, if he passes away I will clean the tank out, but I'll have to disinfect the entire tank (beacuse it's divided)
I think you use 1 part bleach and 10 parts water. Then rinse, rinse, rinse. You can set the tank out in the sun to make sure you get all the bleach out.
Well, that just sucks, Magnum. I am really sorry about your bettas. I know you care for yours well, so I am guessing whatever it was hitched in on the new girl, unless it was just Stupidly Bad Luck paying a visit...
My guess is, a trip to that sale of show stock at Jodi-lea's (of course I do not envy you for living nearby to that, not a bit, not a jot, not even a skerrick!) is going to cheer you up somewhat. And the new job! (I have my fingers crossed for you, there!)
Thanks Aus ! My mum and Dad let me get two new betta's on the weekend so I still have room for one more! The strange thing was, is that the new girl was in a completly different tank from the boys...
As for the job, I hate it. I'm going to re-apply back at my LFS. To bad Jodi's place is still a 40 minute drive, or I'd be working there!
Oh wow, never thought I'd be away for so long. I really need support right now though.
Ive been sick for two/three weeks now and feel tired and exhausted because of the pressure of school. I applied for School Leader, and Im disapointed because I dont think I'll get it, I have an influx of assignments and social life activities, a new puppy and now, my beautiful Spike is slowly passing away.
I have no idea where I am or what's happening atm.
