Bad night : (

I had an ichy day. First it started with every Betta jumping out of their holding cups while I was cleaning their larger enclosures (which is kind of funny now, cause I was chasing a bunch of flopping fish around my kitchen floor...lol), but they are all okay from the dive. Then my mouse (Jack, the one in the pick...my fave) went crazy and killed his tank mate...I donno what happened, but I couldn't put any mouse with him after that. So I had to return him, because he was deoressed without a tank buddy, but tried to kill every mouse that got near him. Although, I got two new mice to replace phyco Jack and his dead comrad., and the good news is that they are getting along great. Then I looked at Neoptune today (my all white pearly male VT from Walmart) and he has a whole bunch of that fuzzy stuff all over him...and he is twitching, so I think he has a parasite to boot. I hope he makes it. I am medicating him. He hasn't been eating, but I got him to eat peas today...yeah! I tore apart my breeder tank today. I have decided to set up everything first, my grow tank, my bbsh, everything. I also feel guilty breeding any of them untill I get all of them in REALLY nice set ups. I think I am going to hunt around for a pair of CTs to breed...metalic green ones , there are too many VTs in the world with no homes!

Holy moly - sounds like you had quite a night!

Whew! Glad things have settled down for you. I know what you mean about your mouse. My son had gerbils when he was younger and one of them had babies. After a couple of weeks the mother went nuts and killed all the babies. Then she turned on her mate and killed him too. My son opened her cage to get the male out and she latched onto his hand and we had to pry her off. He had had her for months before and she was a real sweetie. Guess she wasn't made out for motherhood.

As for your fish flopping all over the floor, but I'm glad they're okay.

Figured I would let those of you that cared, that the mice are happy now! I put them in a 20 gal, and they amuse me on their wheel for hours. There are four of them, but only three on the wheel, SEE:

BETTA GOT BETTER TOO BY THE WAY!!!!!!!!!! WHOO HOO!!!!

Mice are so cute! Good to know they're doing all right after the little...incident. Bet that wasn't any fun to clean up.

No, no it wasn't... YUCKY!
