That's funny.

Good evening/afternoon all.
The weather is about to change here and we're back to wet and chilly from tomorrow.
My physio went well - back in 3 weeks and the GP is sending me for an xray on my other knee.
I'm hoping they'll do that when I see my fracture doc on Friday to save me a trip.
It's been quite busy here today - good to see all the chat!

Don’t worry, fish are more hardy when it comes to chemicals compared to crustaceans. All aquarium chemicals I based mainly on the safety of fish aslong as you follow the correct dosage. Hardness in the water is needed for crustaceans so they can get a nice hard shell after a moult aswell as calcium.

Ok what would you suggest I add to 1 gallon of water of the stress coat. It says 5ml to 10gallons. Just for a water change of 2 liters a week. Should I add some stress zyme too? Keep a couple of gallons ahead? I have a 5gallon aquarium. I'll have a week to get a general idea after I buy a little living creature.

I just saw Lynw's post. Ignore me and get back to your books.

I bribed our male koi betta with a couple teensy tiny betta pellets, so I could get at least a couple decent pictures with my phone.

I have had acupunture after a few crashes with cars. I came back quicker with than without acupunture and regular physical therapy. I also did the cupping to trap blood in the area like a bruise to overoxygenate the area and would highly recommend both. The trick is finding a high quality acupunturist- I am lucky since my buddies sister did it. The acupressure massage was at the line between just right and painful. She can crack walnuts in her hand! Wish you well recovering

Was the cupping done by the acupuncturist?

A couple weekends ago, my significant other brought home a betta fish. It's a male koi betta. It doesn't look like most bettas... In fact, it doesn't look that much like a betta to me, at all. It does look sort of like a miniature koi... It has some black and silver-white, and a tinge of orange. Its body is the placket type, so no long flowing tail. If I had made the choice, I would have chosen differently. It's interesting, though. This is my first fish ever.

Where is the pic????

I thought that so but doubted myself as the fish knowledge is limited

EllieMay · Apr 23, 2019

It took me a minute to catch up! This is more action than the CDR has seen in a while!!! Lol

@Momof4
Kathy, where in Arizona did you go? I am looking at booking a week near Hivasu Creek \ Grand Canyon this summer. I bought my son a kayak today to start training but I’d like to paddle it and see the waterfalls!!! I’m wondering where I should plan to stay....

Thank you! He has lots of attitude, too! He's just beginning to show some of it...

Female? It was labeled as a male koi betta... Not that labeling is always reliable... How can you tell? I'm a novice when it comes to fish.

I'm going to buy the copper test stuff anyway. It's interesting because I knew a woman with Wilson's disease. She didn't have enough copper. But once I get my betta I would still want the testing strips instead of having to run around here there and everywhere to keep his little home safe.

Copper may or may not be an issue with your tap water, depending largely on what the pipes are made of between the water source(s) and your house. The required water quality testing for your provider is probably public record... Although anyone looking would likely have to go digging on the U.S. EPA's website or the state counterpart's website to find it.

Probably didn't notice, Ray, as I always say you don't have to be mad to post here but it helps.

Very true!
