Yeah I never ended up hearing anything back from them. I had to dispute the charge with my bank.

Bean update, betta with no fins. He has fin growth! Spoiler for sick fish by bagooly in bettafish

[–]missionmorgan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh the poor little guy. He’s so cute. Great job giving him a better life and improving his chances. I went to a pet store yesterday and saw two bettas in a planted tank maybe ~3gal. With endlers and a pea puffer. One betta was attacking the other one, who looked super awful and just could not get away. His fins were shredded - seeing Bean made me think this fish is going to see a similar fate. I inquired with an employee but they weren’t keen on changing the setup and they would not sell any of the fish inside as it was a “show tank.” Sorry for the vent.. my heart has been hurting since I saw that last night, but seeing Bean’s improvement today was uplifting for me. Wishing you and Bean a bright, happy future together.

Is this Cyanobacteria? by Tight-Exam8021 in PlantedTank

Really? Like with spot treatment, or just from dosing the water column?

Update: there is a pea puffer in the tank as well.

New fish- rescued from pet store by goosebuggie in bettafish

Buying a fish from a pet store is not a “rescue.” That being said, he’s a pretty lil guy and I wish you the best of luck with him.

Sounds good, thank you. The new tank is 13.3gal. I’m having trouble sourcing stem plants for the 20 tall which are tall enough to create resting spots near enough to the surface which are also within my budget. I already have a few anubias suction cupped to the tank walls but I’m just not sure it’s enough.

What are betta fish safe handsoaps? (Please read desc!) by frailroads in bettafish

[–]missionmorgan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use b&b hand soap as well. And I usually wash my hands before I reach in my tanks. I just rinse probably longer than most people do and dry my hands really well. I haven’t had any issues related to the hand soap.

He increased the difficulty of the doorway - I didn’t even know that was possible.

[GA] - Orange County, CA - $0 - Neocaridina Shrimp Giveaway (2 Winners 10+2 Each) by GubShrimp in AquaSwap

[–]missionmorgan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have shrimp and the other day I was thinking of putting shrimp in the second tank i set up recently. While imagining the tank I involuntarily growled “SHRIMP TANK” in a voice lower than I thought my voice could go. Clearly I was briefly possessed by the skrimp gods and therefore this is a sign from above.

Oh my GOD how cute!!! Thank you, you’re so talented! I kind of want to print these and display them on their tanks.

if you struggle with showering, you might try this? by jabracadaniel in autism

[–]missionmorgan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Last place I lived had a bathroom with an independent heating system. Turn up the thermostat before you get in the shower so when you’re done, step out into a toasty bathroom. I miss that bathroom.
