Hey everyone, well i just figured i'd share with you whats happening.

I'm giving up on the 35g. The large convict passed away yesterday and i cant take any more hits like these. All my paramaters are exactly the same, no problems whatsoever and I just cant keep dealing with fish loss. Its hard and its wearing me down.

I'm quitting my job as i want to focus on school. So i can finally have time for myself. I'm too young to be focusing and stressing over work. If i keep it up i will have white hair by my 20's (hehe) so i cant do it anymore.

On the other hand i will be bringing home a betta tomorrow. The 2.5 i will set up tonight, so i cant wait! I'm gonna transfer my female betta to the 2.5 and put the new boy in the 5g. I want to bring home a DT, HM or CT... it depends on who chooses me and catches my attention the most.


In the mean time, i dont want to waste the things in the 35, so i will be keeping the glass tank and make it a reptile tank. Not sure what type, i am still researching, but most likely an anole tank. The heater in it i will transfer to the 10g, and the heater in the 5g will be going to the 2.5g. I can densely plant each tank since i have quite a few plants all over.


The filter i dont know what i will use it for. Its just a power head and a filter compartment, so a powerhead will come in handy if i ever want to do a fountain or something like that.

The light will be moved to the 10g.

All curent residents in the 35 will be taken to the LFS for credit.

well, i'm off. I hope some of you understand. Pictures of the kids will be taken as soon as i can. I know how much you love those

thanks reds.

I am so sorry about your convict Tony. I'm sure your bad luck has to do with poor quality stock at the LFS and is not due to your care for your fish, which is always excellent. Anyways, I can't wait to meet your new betta tomorrow!

I'm so sorry, Tony Dealing with fish loss is not easy.

I can't wait to see pics of your new betta when he picks you!

And you know we have a reptile section here too, right? We'd love pictures of whatever you put in the 35g.

Hang in there, I'm sure it'll get better soon.

We know how tough it is to lose fish.
Focusing on school is an excellent idea.

Tony G.

thanks everyone. Well, i am about to shift the betta babies around for the new guy. I have 100 pesos as a budget, which will allow me to purchase either HM, DT, CT, PK, or VT. All of which i love

Anoles... i wonder how many i can fit in the 35g. I will research.

I was having such a stressful day, so i went out with my pals and we had a blast! We went downtown, had hot chocolate. Then we went to Mcdonalds and then we went home to play rockband and rockband the beatles! IT was amazing, even though i didnt know how to sing haha. I Took a video while i sang, so i will hopefully share it with you guys sometime. I had a blast
