Got the girls!

Ok, so they finally came. The five girls I ordered plus two extras that Ashley (from Ontario Betta) decided to throw in. They're all alive, despite the delay. They were supposed to be shipped overnight, meaning they should have been here yesterday, but I assume the delay was due to the weather.

Anyways, they're alive and seem to be ok for the most part... which is better than I expected with that delay. Still, one of them appears to have dropsy, which I have never dealt with before, and it's usually caused by kindney failure, which means there isn't really a cure. Another has some cuts (I think they're cuts... I hope they're just cuts...), which should be ok with clean water and aquarium salt and I suspect that a third may have ich, but that should also clear up with the salt.

Now... I have school work to do... I'll keep you guys posted.

Blarg

Still really busy, as I'm sure you guys guessed. Still, felt I should update you guys, let you know I haven't forgotten about you.

So those five females I keep hoping will get shipped soon? Ya, they got shipped on Monday... but they were supposed to get here yesterday, and they haven't. So according to the tracker, they're on their way here now... but alive? I'm not sure yet. And I'm about to run off to work until 8... so... we'll see.

New fish!

So I got a shipment of fish the other day from the amazing Pandora. It was four young males and unfortunately only one survived (it's kinda cold up here right now...) but he's gorgeous. Named him Sky, and I'll post some pictures later. I kinda went to bed an hour and a half later than planned yesterday because I was doing water changes and then couldn't resist picking up a camera. Don't know how many of the photos are actually in focus, but we'll see.

Also planning on (finally) getting to work on cleaning up that 12g tank and accessories today. It likely won't get done today and I still need more decorations before I can stick my females in it... but it's a start, right?
