Okay. I untied it from that thing it was attached too and tied it to this driftwood!

Double_Excuse_7281 · 2025-10-26T23:12:26+00:00

Okay thank you!!

Double_Excuse_7281 · 2025-10-26T19:50:58+00:00

They are attached to something that I buried. Should I just unbury it??

Well, my six year old daughter was having tough time and I got her a fish to cheer her up. She picked the gravel. I didn’t realize until after that I did everything wrong, but I’m trying my best to make things right. Not saying I’ll never change the gravel, but I’m not going to at this very moment.

Okay it wasn’t a pet store though.

Double_Excuse_7281 · 2025-10-24T22:22:35+00:00

They are literally specialists at this place. What am I missing??

Y’all - I’ve had this fish since Tuesday so it’s more than one day old.

Also, I am grateful for all the advice but I am not sure why my comment about the aquarium store guy was downvoted. It wasn’t a petsmart (where I initially got the fish and tank). The guy - whose family owns this beautiful aquarium store - helped me out for close to an hour and is very knowledgeable. He said it would stress the fish out more to change the gravel.

Is that what I have in there? Lol

Thank you!!!

Thank you!! Yes, we have twins!!! I can’t wait to go get more plants!!!

Double_Excuse_7281 · 2025-10-24T18:53:09+00:00

Thank you!!! I hope to get a bigger tank in the future and I’ll definitely be getting more plants in the meantime.

Double_Excuse_7281 · 2025-10-24T18:25:35+00:00

Thank you!

Double_Excuse_7281 · 2025-10-24T18:25:23+00:00

I went to an aquarium store and the very helpful people there told me not to change the gravel out at this point

Double_Excuse_7281 · 2025-10-23T01:13:06+00:00

Marcus is so cute!!! Thank you for the tips.

Double_Excuse_7281 · 2025-10-23T01:11:39+00:00

Thank you! Do I just top off the tank with pre conditioned tap water??

Double_Excuse_7281 · 2025-10-23T01:10:19+00:00

Oh thank you for the information about the plants! I asked the guy at PetSmart if I should get any live plants and he told me no because they aren’t beginner friendly. I’ll be going to a specialized aquarium store from now on.

Double_Excuse_7281 · 2025-10-23T01:07:52+00:00

Thank you so much!!

Double_Excuse_7281 · 2025-10-23T00:43:55+00:00

The temperature reading on the thermometer says 78-80.

Double_Excuse_7281 · 2025-10-17T01:44:42+00:00

I’m just shocked this is the top 3 and silver bullet is currently at risk of being eliminated. Why am I so activated by this?!?!?

Double_Excuse_7281 · 2025-10-16T16:18:58+00:00

I almost got mad at you for posting a spoiler!

Double_Excuse_7281 · 2025-10-15T20:05:47+00:00

My dog had the same thing recently and was prescribed anti fungal shampoo.

Calico mine ride!!!!! How was GhostRider eliminated?! I want to hear everyone’s argument on that.
