Not such a big deal because I haven't ranted about her but for some reason it's still weird.I even feel a little apprehensive about bloging now.Paramedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03831693846052671379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4831474386182810748.post-5184162344458079792007-07-13T01:39:00.000-05:002007-07-13T01:39:00.000-05:00Poor fish - it may be too late for this one, but p...Poor fish - it may be too late for this one, but perhaps for next time, I thoroughly recommend getting a : good filter; decent sized tank; heater (if they need constant temp - fish get sick quickly if their tank varies by more than a few degrees in a day, and this gets really bad when it is a small tank); and maybe even a light. Some smaller tanks have all of these things built in.<BR/><BR/>(Sorry if you are familiar with all of this, I don't know how much you are familiar with your fish!) I also think that changing more than 30% of the water at a time is a bad idea, as it cleans out all of the good bacteria that are helping keep the water non-toxic for your little finned friend.<BR/><BR/>Also, you have to be VERY careful about the pH and water hardness, particularly with regards to tap water vs bottled water - sometimes the pH/hardness change will knock them around more than the deactivated chemicals in the water ager that you put in to neutralise your tap water. <BR/><BR/>There are some good sites on the web (and forums) if you want to set up a tank where your fish live long-term. Many fish have a natural life-span of at least 5 to 10 years, but sadly because they don't get set up in appropriate tanks, they don't quite make it more than a couple of months. :(<BR/><BR/>(If you can't tell, I love my fishies . . .)The Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02368935358031860432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4831474386182810748.post-90556393878543062492007-07-12T19:11:00.000-05:002007-07-12T19:11:00.000-05:00How does your wife NOT know about your blog?

He's not had a problem before. If he makes it out of this I might just do that though.MedStudentGod (MSG)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02670042423377931696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4831474386182810748.post-8221572377084529142007-07-12T11:41:00.000-05:002007-07-12T11:41:00.000-05:00Don't know if you already did this, but maybe fill...Don't know if you already did this, but maybe filling the tank with bottled water rather than tap might help with the fish. Sometimes tap water has Cl- and other things that can make fish sick.OMDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17937425894428802591noreply@blogger.com
