The Puffer Forum

Yes, I reiterate what PP says! I'm off to get more aquarium salt after I get the kids from school. The temp is back up this morning and the fishies are happy be3cause of the air bubbles! Yay! Thank goodness for 24-hr stores, huh?

Sammydee, the lfs sold me Quick Cure when theis first started and I used it for maybe 3 days before Dadof4 and PP told me to STOP!

Its amazing to me how much time and money I've spent on my fish. Its like they're kids # 4, 5, & 6, only they're, tiny and have their own worlds in my bedroom. I freaked out last night and went rushing around changing water and turning off heaters and going to TWO stores to get the right stuff for them at 10:30 at night!

If I had a car, believe you me, that would have happened a few times here, too. Like the time that (surprise!) ammonia started coming out of the tap (oh noes!). I really cried that night. God, what wouldn't I have given for some Prime!

I'm starting to feel like that old Dunkin Donuts commercial: "Time to change the fish water..." lol At least the water levels have remained very good through this. Good news: I won't every feel like its a big deal once a week again!

They've gotten over their fear of the bubble wall. They were going after a shrimp earlier- all 4 of them- throwing the food back and forth through the wall. And the scats are thin but now they look a bit rounded in the bellies- and they ATE a lot! They're still eating! lol (I took the shrimp out a while ago.)

Hey, be happy you don't have to debate between waiting til morning, or driving 30 minutes to Walmart for stuff. I hate that one! Then again, I am lazy enough to waste money at the corner store on my street instead of driving to Kroger, and buying real groceries... hmmmm...
