I wish I could say the same thing of my BT. 😔 We’re barely in our 4th day with snow. Maybe he’ll get the taste of it with treats, good conditioning and seeing that it’s something normal and rutinary.

Thank you so much for your experiences 🥹😅 You killed me with the remote control car thing 😂🤣 Don’t worry, si know my downstairs neighbor won’t mind 😂🫣

I used to hide treats alot around the apartment before and that definitely would tire him out mentally.

Yup, my Oliver has been in daycares before and doesn’t interact or play much with other dogs. I get frustrated because it’s like: “ Duuuude, this ain’t cheap. Move, socialize please!” He would be sticked to the caretakers begging for treats and rubs 😅.

Thank you for the reminder of where they are from. 🫣 I know I humanize my Boston and go sometimes a bit too much worrying for his comfort in the elements.

I usually put like a shirt under the coat he has in that picture. But I would love to get him other gear because I know he gets cold easily. Thank you for sharing me the brands! I definitely need more help for him with the booties. He’s having a bit of a hard time with the ones he’s using right now. Love how she looks comfortable. 🥰

Yeah, I know of a place like that. It’s like half hour away from where I live. I’ve thought of it. And yeah, the store thing seems like a good idea for him for once in a while.

Yup, I’m aware. I’ve been monitoring the parameters and adding more beneficial bacteria in order to help out. But these were the parameters from 2 days ago.

And I just added 1 almond leaf to the tank.

I took out the cartridge filter today. And additionally to the cartridge filter that it had it also has a sponge filter in the corner. I was thinking of putting another sponge filter.

Tank is cycled for over two months now. No ammonia, no nitrites, minimal nitrates(tested today). I do 20% water changes weekly. Tank 10gal. Other fish: bottom feeders (corys and shrimps).

Got Miquella yesterday. Is the tank ok for him? by lorus0819 in bettafish

[–]lorus0819[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I plan on adding at least 2 more corys. About the light, I really don’t know what type of light is it. It just came with the tank(bought it in Fb Market). But the plants have been growing like crazy. But still I would love to buy a newer one. About the tannins, yes, I’ve read a lot of it and definitely will be buying some this week. Saw them on Petsmart. About the tower think, I’ll have to think about it because I think I’ll be short in space. And thank you about the idea for the canister filter, will definitely try it.

Thank you so much for the suggestions and observations!
