I was at Peninsula Plaza two days ago when I saw the Leica x1 being sold.
When I came today, it was gone.
Lost Blue Momma
My blue female betta, the one that bred successfully died on Thursday.
She was poisoned, actually.
By me.
Due to the bacterial infection earlier that swept through my tanks, I wanted to separate the juveniles into two tanks to avoid a repeat of the incident.
But when I separated the juves, they started fighting and flaring like crazy.
So to prevent injury, I bought two stationery holders from Daiso to serve as refuge areas for those who lost fights and needed to recover.
However, I forgot to wash them before putting them in the tank.
Fortunately (or unfortunately), I decided to put blue momma in that tank instead as she'd received some injury from a previous fight and I thought it would serve her well to recover alone in the tank without any harassment.
But when I got from my holiday, I was informed that she had died on the day that I left.
*sigh*
At least her genes are being propagated by the offspring that she bore.
Solitary guppy, jumping arowana
One of the guppies that I bought a while back has died.
Not sure if it was due to the infection but seems that the rest are fine.
Will attribute it to old age / sickness before doing any further treatment of the tank.
My arowana also did its first jump of out the tank today. It flopped about on my table for a while before I could put it back into the tank. Hopefully there's no major damage to it in the long run.
No deaths today
All fish were accounted for today.
Did a second dose of the anti-bacterial treatment nevertheless.
Hopefully all will be fine when I get back on Monday.
A blue-red death
One more died today in front of me.
Couldn't come up to breathe as it was swimming upside down.
Red CT gone
My red CT died sometime during lunch today as I was at the LFS buying some anti-bacterial medicine for the fish.
Hopefully it'll stop the chain of deaths.
2 bettas and 1 white cloud lost
This is getting serious. Just found 2 bettas and 1 White Cloud Mountain fish dead this morning again. Saw 2 other bettas biting on the dead WCM.
The red CT is still discharging white stringy poop. Doesn't look too good.
Testing the water for ammonia but it's still within normal range so I suspect it might be something to do with the tubifex.
As a precaution, I've separated the betta juveniles (now 7 left) into a previously decommissioned tank and will be getting some meds to see if I can stop this unfortunate series of deaths.
Lost 4 little fellas
Over the weekend, I lost two whites and a blue betta juvenile. One of the whites had its stomach eaten and had no eyes while the other two were totally intact.
On Tuesday when I got into office, I found another red lying dead as well.
I suspect it might have to do with the tubifex worms that have been around for more than a week.
The red CT female doesn't look too good and I hope she doesn't succumb to any illness or bacteria that might be present in the tank.
First weekend
My silver arowana.
It didn't seem to eat anything until this morning, when I fed it dried shrimps.
Now that the weekend is here, I hope that I'll see it alive when I go back to office on Monday.
New tank mate!
I bought a silver arowana at $12 today!
I was a little worried as I t didn't seem to be interested in eating anything today, but after reading from the web, it seemed like a normal thing after they get shifted into a new home.
It hasn't tried to take a bite of its tank mates yet, so I'm crossing my fingers :)
