*holds hands out for punishment*
I completely forgot about this post.
Well the day after Valentine's day is where my first day of aquatic mothering began. I bought a male betta. My beautiful Neptune (yep, we stuck with the god names) has a red head that fades into blue at his fins which of course looks purple in all pictures.
His very own hotel room while the tank is being cleaned and attended to.
He loves his new bamboo stalk.
On March 30th I went into the local pet supply store to grab the dogs some pig ear chews and to check to see if they carried the filter cartridge I need because the closest Petco is 56 miles north of us so everything is either ordered online or gotten at this small local store. As I was in the fish section the word corydoras caught my eye on one of the tanks. I had read that they were good companions for bettas and had actually thought about getting a few the next time we made it up to Petco so I walk over to the tank just to look. (Regardless of what Dustin thinks that is what I went over to do.) There in the tank was a single cory looking so lonely that I had to take him home right there. That is the story of how we got Loki, our reticulated cory. (That's the one I'm sticking with too)
We did finally make it to Petco yesterday for some new plants for the tank as the original ones were growing black specks I worried was mold. We came home with new plants, a stalk of bamboo, 2 ghost shrimp, and an emerald cory. The cory (Ares) unfortunately didn't make it through the night but our shrimp (Jacques and Osiris) are thriving in their new home.
