More fish obsession

April 5th, 2015 at 11:58 pm

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!

    Hopefully you'll get the fishie situation straightened out soon and all will be well. I've not had a lot of experience with fish but as a kid I had several. Umm, they all died, though, since I didn't know what the heck I was doing. I love looking at fish tanks with unusual or interestingly colored fish.

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

    Could you get a separate tank for the Pleco, or perhaps upgrade your water filter for the tank?

    I really don't have room for another, bigger tank, but a better water filter is a good idea!
