    The patient was struggling in the salted 29g with the HOB, and was isolating from the group; staying near the surface. With prolific plant growth I haven’t been able to keep a good eye on him, so I moved him to QT. With my schedule I cannot do epsom dips. I think maybe I willl try the 3 day fast then feed peas remedy, unless anyone had any other thoughts? @Odd Duck @Colu

    Finally! I saw 2 or 3 shrimplets today while the adults were tearing up calcium chips and making a bunch of dust. The little ones were nearby trying to eat some of it, I think. This is a good sign!

    I was on my way home from my parents’ house and figured, why not stop at Sea World to try out their new pipeline coaster. Whoa! So it’s a standing coaster (cars are surfboards) and the harnesses are on up & down hydraulics. Whenever it catches G’s you like, “float up” and your feet leave the surfboard. Omg was epic! Pic of coaster: And then look at this guy, so tired… until people showed up with sardines. Instantly woke up and… Random photo dump of other things; went on sky tower for the first time and got some aerial shots. Fave ride Mako, got to ride it twice due to 5 min wait. Hill for Mako. It has a 200’ drop. I think this is a wood stork. White coaster is a new one, under construction. Antarctica/Penguin theme Mako: Flamingo paddle boats

    The sky looked like a painting yesterday morning. Also I made a tasty cornbread today with some bean & bacon soup. I have been experimenting with our new Instant Pot. That thing cuts cooking time in half or even more. Hard boiled eggs 5 min. Baked potatoes 12 min. It did a good job with chicken thighs, as well as the soup I made today. My husband likes to use it for beef stew. Convenient.

    Is that the one that looks like a long, rectangular box with a red switch/lever on the end? I looked at that one but I only have 12” of water due to deep substrate and dropped waterline. That heater is like 11.75” or something and didn’t give me a lot of options on placement. That’s frustrating..

    Snoopy eating worms! (And I forgot to clean the glass)

    I’ve been using Aqueon. The other tanks have ACO heaters. I tried shopping online but there were a lot of foreign brands with overinflated reviews, so I ended up at big box and bought Aqueon again. Yeah. I think it’s because the heater came forward and now I notice it.
  8. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    Got the heater. Big box store this time due to convenience/location. This!! Made me happy. See what the bucket says? This is progress from what we usually see. Right @xXInkedPhoenixX? #babysteps And then just for fun, I took pictures for @Guppysnail And then this creepy guy/gal! Whoa!

    Heater glowing red the whole length of the tube. Not sure if it’s always done that? It is dark in the tank now, for one. But also it has come a little bit forward because its suction cups detached from the back wall. I don’t know if I’m being paranoid or not, but I really don’t know how old the heater is either. Returned to the tank a few minutes later and the heater is off; the rainbird is doing its job. Rainbird: Maybe time for a replacement heater.

    They had some other cool fish as well. Different types of rainbow fish, barbs, cichlids, then they have turtles, lizards, spiders, and snakes. Tons of snakes. They have floor to ceiling bins of snakes. They do have a lot of things for paludariums and vivariums, etc I just snapped random photos while I was there.

    Omg, thank you @nabokovfan87 for sending better quality nets! Disaster prevention at its finest! I and the fishes are very grateful to you.

    Based on this example, I have no worries! He competes with the best of ‘em!

    I had released him yesterday. His symptoms are mild. I took a video (he is not the first fish shown). He enters the shot from the left. Has a sort of rocking horse movement but he seems to be ok. He was stressed in the breeder box. I will try the salt.

    Anytime I have had a wonky swimming fish it was all downhill. Thankfully this is a mild case. I am thinking about releasing him back to the community. His buddy keeps swimming up to him in the breeder box and they see each other. Jailbird seems glad to see his buddy and becomes more active. I ended up with these 2 when I bought washed out looking fish from a new shipment at LFS. I had requested pristella tetras but when color developed I was surprised! LFS said they must have jumped in the pristella tank from the next tank over. Anyway, I didn’t worry too much about school size since they school right along with the pristellas. I don’t know if being in the breeder box is better or worse for him.
