Hi all,
I was a tween once and I loved my neon tetras, hatchet fish, silver dollars and platys. The gravel was florescent, the treasure chest bobbed and I thoroughly scrubbed my 10 gallon tanks twice a month so my fishies had the cleanest castle in all the land. Almost 30 years later, I'm amazed they survived my love. I suppose they were just miserable for the duration of their lives. 9 year old me adored them. At the beginning of this panepidemic I bought a 5 gallon tank and a betta named Covid. Covid appeared happy until the day he just died. I have a couple theories on that, but Covid was the beginning of another era of fishy love and tragedy. I blame my boyfriend. He loved Covid, and when Covid passed he wanted another fish, just not a betta. Which meant a bigger tank. Which meant more fish. Which means I am currently cycling a 55 gallon tank for the fish in the 36 gallon tank that were in the 15 gallon tank....in a 4 month period. I have learned so much, then unlearned it, then modified it, then cried myself to sleep for being such a monster. I have 4 molly's, an albino Senegal birchir, one lonely discus, a pictus cat, one pleco that is supposedly going to remain small and 3 mystery snails. I am exhausted and I think I may end up living inside a fish tank. Happy to be here, cheers.
