I went to PetSmart and spent $19 on new medicine for the fish. However, upon reading the directions, and reading the fish websites, I realize it is not the right one. Will have to take it back.
I did get some good advice on cleaning the tank (I haven't been aggressive enough) and water additives (I've been using too many.)
They also recommended that I get rid of my pleco. He is very large; too large for my tank, and his waste is probably contributing to the water problem. I know he should be in a bigger tank, but I am not interested in upgrading. They recommended that I talk to the local mom&pop fish store, who might take him and give him to a new home.
I actually kind of like the pleco; he is very interesting-looking. I've named him Toothless. But clearly he has outgrown his environment.
Other random expenses: I had to renew my virus protection plan - $30. More laundry - $1.50. I registered for a workshop - $20. Ordinarily my work would pay, but I don't think they will now that I am on my way out -- but I still need to go as a board member. I guess I will count it as an entertainment expense!
Gotta go! Call the Midwife is on!
More fish obsession

Call the Midwife is one of my favorite shows. I need to get caught up!
