A Bad Day!
I've spent most of the day doing water changes on all my tanks, moving some plants, and adding extra gravel to some of them. Hubby cooked supper, and I yelled instructions from the fish room. We'd just finished supper, and noticed a leak under the sink. Everything had to come out of the cupboard, and be cleaned. Finally got supper mess cleaned up, walked into the fish room to check on everyone, and Madeline(one of the Betta girls) had jumped from the tank. My fault as I had forgotten to put the lid down. She was so dry, she was shiny. I picked her up, felt a slight twitch, so popped her back in the tank. She did swim after awhile, but I don't think she's going to make it. Grrrr!
I'm just venting, but really don't have much to complain about considering what some are dealing with....Sharon
