Hi again

[AlphinaNovaStar]

Hi I am thinking of staying for a while, but not much longer tonight. I need to go to bed at ten pm and it is nine something right now.
I was just thinking of this forum while watching baby guppies swim in my aquarium.
I have mental health issues which almost went bad but got caught in time hopefully. Because of that issue I took the month of December off from work. I am back at work now, but hopefully can do something with my aquarium once I get steady paychecks again.
I just wanted to reintroduce myself and say I am doing better but I still have a way to go.

Welcome to the forum! I love guppies and keep a few myself; do you name your fish?
As for your mental "issues", you're not alone- never give up and don't let other people control your life.

The guppies do not have their own names at the moment. The platy's name is Stevie though. The lone catfish is Cory. I did name two guppies, TJ and Tammy but due to my mental health issues and other possibly other reasons I lost some guppies so I am not sure right now if I still have TJ and Tammy. I want to name them all but right now is not the time since I should be in bed right now as I do have work tomorrow. Also where I live says that I have to be in bed by or at ten pm. It is like ten till ten right now.

Welcome! You have a problem with your cory, they need to be in groups 6+, but I'm glad to hear you are doing better!

I agree, cories should have at least five friends or they get stressed; with plenty of hiding places he should be okay till you can get some more. I love your fish names! I named my mollies (similar in appearance and build to platies) Firey, Ozark Moonshine (R.I.P Ozark Sunshine), Dallas, Dahlia, Silver Bullet, Stinker, Grey, Bullseye, and Goldust.

I am aware that Cory needs friends, but I can see if the pet store near my job has Cory catfish. I can go there not this week as I would not have the funds for the fish but once I do I can do that for Cory.

Glad you are doing better! I hope your fish help you

Please get Cory some friends, as soon as possible! Otherwise Cory will suffer mental health issues

Maybe there is a fish keeping club or something like that near you? Members might have an excess of fish from having fry, or something? Or check local classifieds. Craigslist, that sort of thing?

Good luck
