Fishy update!
17 years ago
These are updates about my fish.
12/28/08
I think I mentioned this in an earlier journal but one of my female fancy guppies that I predicted would die, did. : (
I think she was pregnant when we got her so maybe the move was to stressful. So she had a fish heart attack or something and did the stander suicide swim around the fish tank then kind of floated to the bottom. I kind of blame petco for encouraging a heater and said to keep the water at around 80. She seemed to be slightly recovering fine until the gave me that shity advice Right now my water is about 76 and I expect it to go down to 74.
Not to mention there advice really messed up my water in a way. It's all cloudy now. I put some waterClarifier in there but I really don't like to use chemicals after what happened with the 55 Gallon tank. "Real plants will kill the fish, buy are chemicals, keep the water at 80"
Anyways R.I.P Yellow finned guppy : ( ( I had my mom flush it because she was still alive but it was clear she was going to die in an hour because she was just laying at the bottom on her back )
12/31/08
I got 2 new guppies >.< b one female and one male I have another female that was a test fish for the tank so don't worry that fish is going to get all the ladies he will need >.< b However he is very intrested in the lovely lady we bought with him. My other guppy isn't getting any attention. Then again the Bottom feeder tried to eat her and took her tail well a part of it. It's not like he has a mouth o.O but she is very pretty.
Big News is that when they were getting my fish I guess they accidentally picked up a baby fish so I got a fry also. Gender is unknown I hope it;s female so that I don't have to get more guppies. It's in a breeders net right now safe from all the other fish I will let it out with everyone else in 3 days probably.
I might get a real plan tomorrow because I dun like the plastic stuff or just wait till Tuesday when they are suppose to have male Guppies in. I think it would be good to let the tank calm down after a dieing guppy : /
1/3/09
The Baby Guppy died I guess it wasn't given enough or to much food when I was gone skiing. There is always next time.
I really like my male Guppy he seems to know when to leave the females along and he doesn't do them unless they want it. He's a good fish he hasn't bother my injured Female guppy that much at all unless he's waiting till I am sleeping XD
1/4/09
One of my female Guppies died. I know she was dieing and I tried to give her a chance but most fish owners know when there is no turning back and the fish is going to die. last week she was hitting sick mode and she stopped eating 3 days ago. : /
She was still alive but I have my mom flush her. Got to get a sick fish out before it spreads.

My fish are spazing randomly. I am not sure if they are playing or seriously sick
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/i.....6174958AAHeOkl
This helped out a bit and I tested my water and everything is perfect but the buffer which is just a tad bit low but not deadly low. I'm not sure what Buffer is anyways XD
Luckily none of them are swimming upside down yet but I'm still worried. It's so hard to type and think of my fish @.@ especially when there right in front of me. I know my Nitrate and Ammonia levels are below .50ppm so I know that keeps my tank safe and my plant make sure that these levers don't got toxic.
Yes I added salt for them I don't know what Salt does exactly but apparently it's good for a tank sick or not. THe Salt I have is made for fish tanks. "Doc Wellfish's Aquarium Salt or Freshwater fish"
I also go a 30% around there water change once a week.
My Bottom feeder is breathing heave but according to what I have read he might be fighting sickness. He also spazes out and I found him upside down for a little bit
My Female Fancy guppy is spazing but seems to be fine.
My male Fancy Guppy is being a flashy pimp and still showing off his tail but he hans't been chasing my female guppy at all. Yes I know 2 females to 1 male >.> but she died yesterday. My male guppy seems healthy for the most part then : /
If my tank happens to crash I will probably clean it and let it cycle for a few weeks again. Let the Bacteria build up.
Man Fish were so easy a few years ago. I wonder what happened...
... Sex and taking a dump... Male guppy have some dignity XD
1/6/09
Bottom feeder died over night I think my tank is crashing : (
1/8/09
Well my tank seems to be getting better. I hope my female guppy lives because she is going to be having her Fry by the end of the month. I mean I'm all pro choice and stuff but I don't want to have to buy more fish >.>
Yes I have been working really hard to keep my tank from crashing. >.<
1/11/09
My Tank has crashed and only one has survived. At this point I am like WTF and ask my friend Cody what the hell is happening seeing my water is 100% fine according to my water testing kit.
So yea Thanks to Cody I learned who my tank was crashing. I have confirmed that my water if perfectly safe several times to the point I had to but new test strips XD
Apparently it's a thing called Finrot or 'Body Fungus' I didn't know that this was actually serious seeing I have been out of the fishy business for about 5 years. (moved to CO and have to give my tank to my brother; I thought it would be to stressful to move the fish)
I forget they made Medicine for fish. >.<;;;;
So I went to Petco and was lucky to get this amazing worker who was like Super Fish man for something to the point it was creepy o.O he knew a lot about fish... like he lost me at the last 2 min. speech that was like 20 min. and that was just on Fancy Guppies. Creepy but amazing o.o;;; to bad I couldn't take him home for like a week to work on my tank >.<
He even knew my tank problem just by 'me fish are dieing for no reason' and knew it was the fungus... that was really awesome >.< b I get nervous when talking to workers so I tend to studded at the beginning. So the Finrot thing.... yeah I hit stupid land and forgot out it when I was talking.
Well at least I know how to take care of a Fancy Guppy and what to look for in a healthy guppy. I am very happy : )
and while there was only one survive in my tank this morning... *sniff* my blue tailed female... you know how hard it is to find a Blue or Purple tailed guppy >.< she died this morning T.T I am sorry to all my fish that died (which is like 3) Hopefully I can get this problem fixed quickly. At least my Male Guppy is showing signs of improvement now... he will actually eat now ^.^
Man Fish aren't easy to take care of. A cat is like Child's play compared to fish care >.<
1/21/09
Well petco makes me sad. a lot of there guppy's have ick : ( I just finished clearing my tank of that stupid fungus thing so I have been trying to go to petco everyday so when they get fresh guppy's in stock I can find a clean one.
My male guppy is still alive >.< b I am going to name him Pip because it's like pimp XD Pim soungs like a girl Pi yeah that woulds like pee along with PP. He survived the fungus outbreak he disservices a name : )
1/23/09
Well I think my fishy update will be coming to an end and info on my fish will be added here or just new entry. I got 2 females they are going to get treated for ick for 3-5 days just in case they have it They are showing some symptoms but they are doing well. Just a little popeye from the looks of it. Petco is getting some sick guppies they should really flush out there tanks >.< o well
Pip my male guppy is like Meow chicka meow meow. Hes really got his bling going like 3 minutes when I but the bag in so the females could adjust to the water. I mean all his spots came back and he like just like a horny retard. He is really showing off when he saw the lady's XD I mean really "Pip you can make it through a plastic bag" Silly fish >.>
Females well I might get a picture of them but I am not sure.
Female 1: Blue/Clear tail with black spots.
Female 2: Rainbow fin and is black for the back half is its body.
I saw this other pretty female with a clack tail and like these blue/purple spots but I didn't get her
My Pip is a yellow male with black spots. he looks like a Cheetah >.< b
1/29/09
My female guppy had her fry today. I think it happened during school because it looks like she is done having them. I managed to save 3 or 4 of them. I smacked on when trying to net it out but it seems ok : 0 There are a few free in the tank and 3 or 4 in the breeders net. Mom seems to be hungry : ( I'm going to try my best to keep those who were stupid and didn't go in the breeders net alive but there on there own. It's cruel but I don't want over population in my tank. It's only a 5 gallon and the big 55 gallon tank isn't ready yet. my small tank is a testing for when I set up the big one. I am also breeding my guppies so that I don't have to buy more fish.
well it looks like mom is eatting her fry now.
