I haven’t posted pictures in a while, because Gideon’s dark coloring makes it hard to get a good picture, but here’s Gideon, folks! Almost a year later, he’s doing really well and tormenting the baby ramshorn snails in the tank. You can see the blurry outline of one of the smaller ones off to the…
Meet Gideon
This is Gideon! He’s my new betta fish, joining the snails and moss in what is currently harmony! I will probably be sharing stories and more pictures of him in the future, but I’m happy to have him with me! I’ve missed having a fish!
Unnamed Rescue Fish
This guy is as yet unnamed, but he is my most recent rescue fish. When I got him from someone at school on Saturday, he was in a cracked .25 gallon bowl that was half filled with rocks. This guy has to have the worst genetics I’ve ever seen in a fish. As you might…
Here’s my full tank currently.
I’ve finally been able to get the stuff I need to start a properly planted aquarium, and once its time for another water change, I’ll be adding actual planted substrate (basically dirt with extra minerals packed in), and re-rooting all of the plants, as well as adding more. 🙂
All about my first week of school
Somehow, every year when I go back to school, I manage to forget how expensive getting back to school is. There’s food to buy, books to buy, the inevitable forgotten thing, and then the things you didn’t realize you’d need. It adds up quite quickly, unfortunately. I also always forget how crazy busy you are…
Nymeria
This is the first female betta I ever owned, named Nymeria. I bought her at Petsmart last November, and she’s a very nice fish. She is enjoying the re-arranged tank, now that I’m moved into my apartment at school.
Vortex v.2
Vortex has vastly grown since my brother and I rescued him from a science experiment in early June. His finnage has nearly doubled, and he’s way more active now than he was back then
Vortex
This poor fish has gone through hell and back. A boy in my brother’s class was doing a project on marine biology, and decided that for the required experiment to go along with the presentation, he would put two male bettas in the same cup and see how long it took for them to kill…
Celia
I bought Celia a few weeks ago to add to my 10 gallon sorority, and she’s fit in beautifully. I named her after Celia Foote from The Help. She’s a very sweet fish, and has a habit of hiding in the java moss like the snails.
