cheeze, you can say that again o^o that's insane, ><
mine's loved his light since the first day he came home, >.< crazy yours reacts that way, I definitely agree though, sounds like he objects haha D:
I'm glad it didn't hurt him
and yeah, 2.5 is preferred for absolute smallest, 2 is also okay, but the extra .5 makes a huge difference for the little guy ^-^
you might also post in the habitat forum for advice on setting up a critter keeper if you need something cheap right now ^-^ they have larger ones ( 2.5 - 3 and maybe even 5 gallons ) that are still fairly cheap, but nice space
as long as you keep the water clean it's unlikely, but it's always good to be prepared and sometimes they get sick even when the water is clean, but much more rarely ^-^ yay
and ick on the water, haha, I'm glad you clean it daily now and I bet he is too
yeah, the employees at those places are almost always awful DX
I have some frogs too ^-^ well only one now, one escaped when he got spooked in a thunderstorm :/ but when I first got them the lady told me to give them distilled water with water conditioner added in for nutrients ><;
distilled water is hugely bad for them, it ruins their osmosis, and distilled water does not need conditioner because it has no chlorine, AND conditioner does not add nutrients DX she told us to give him a 50 watt bulb too, which would have killed him like a very sad raisin 0^0
so yeah, I could see that XD;
I'll check again next time I'm there to see where exactly ours are ^-^
ah, so is my sweet boy
they aren't typically prone as far as I know ^-^
although every fish is different and there can be exceptions ^-^
i'm sure it'll clear right up
