COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Thanks to my electric fan it is cooler in the house than outside where there doesn't seem to be any air tonight.

Saw the bungalow today - it's very nice. The only negative was that the bathroom was new but a bit crowded because of the layout, and I just have to check out the area a bit more. I could see myself and Lola there so not ruling it out completely.....it's all about compromise I suppose.

I have a hospital appointment in the morning to check that my bone is healing OK so I'll wish you all a Happy Friday now as I won't have a chance before I go.
Nos Da and take care.

Well good luck tomorrow...
do you have more options in mind besides the one bungalow? We are going to throw you a Good bye party for the nasty neighbors! It’s something to celebrate for sure!!![emoji23]

It really has been so humid. Your right the heat is so much easier to deal with when the air is dryer.
I’m pleased to say we are literally in the middle of an Armageddon thunderstorm and it feels GREAT!

Yes! When we finally got a thunderstorm it helped. It's 80°f in my living room at 51%humidity and feels really comfortable to me...but maybe I turned into a Russian tortoise...

Best wishes for your appointment and new bungalow...and a happy Friday too.

We had a pretty nice day today. Temps stayed below 90 and humidity low too. Perfect kayaking weather.

Heres where we paddled today...

I saw your post on Monday where you hoped everyone was having a positive Monday. What's really nice about that is it hit home! With everything that I go through and the rest of us too...I had already decided to think positive even when the chips are down. I was making myself say in my heart think positive and then you said it too. That post made my Monday and made my resolve even stronger. I'll be praying and thinking of you.

What happened to your other tank? But this one is really pretty too. It's so nice to watch happy fish. My tank is only about 5' from my usual sitting spot. Arrow is better then a tv.

I've got 7 tanks running lol

1) 125gallon
1) 38 gal bowfront
1) 15 gallon
4) 5 gallon

In the 125 I have 4 angelfish, a school of tiger barbs, a school of giant dannios, and a 21" pleco .
(Considering changing this)

The 38 has 3 goldfish and a bn plecostomus. (May add one more goldfish if I see one I just love)

15 gal right now has Glowlight tetras, shrimp and snails.
(Thinking of either getting a new betta, sparkling gourami or a small cichlid such as a ram cichlid of some kind.)

5 gal #1 has a betta and a few cherry barbs (may move the cherry barbs as 5 gal is a bit small for them to be happy)

5 gal #2 has a betta and white cloud mountain minnows.

5 gal #3 has a betta by his self.

5 gal #4 has just shrimp.



I will be setting up another tank it's 35 gallon but like 2 meters long. Thinking of moving the tiger barbs and cherry shrimp into it.

I also have a bowl in the bathroom that hangs on the wall but it just has plants and a snail. Lol

This is low tech, but as long as the humidity isn't so bad that water droplets don't evaporate readily... Air blowing over a body of water (even as small as an aquarium) does bring down the temperature in the immediate vicinity. Depending on how large the body of water is, and how strongly the air is moving.

Being near falling water (like a garden fountain) or a spray of water can often help too.

Yes. I love the little Artic Air devices(same concept). My problem is I love them to death. They don't last around me.

Ok...that's why I had this funny dream the other night. I dreamed that I had all kinds of beautiful fish and zillions of their babies too. I was splitting them into several tanks and wasn't about to loose a single one. Is that called downright addicted?

I've had more in the past lol I've actually trimmed down a lot from a few years back lok

One of the employees at petsmart told me that it sounds like I have a betta that's fun. Another told me she doesn't like bettas because you can't tell when they are dead because they will just lay on the bottom and don't be alarmed.. Not once have I ever seen him laying. He sits like an animal on his tail and evidently enjoys a fan...he's so cute.

Do you ever catch your betta sleeping? Maybe Arrow only sleeps when the cover is on his tank...

If you have broadleaf plants like anubias Nana or something similar they will use these leaves like a hammock.

He sleeps and rests like an animal. He will also use his little front fins and rests on one of the leaves. Kind of like arms and pulls up further until his tail is also resting on the leaf when he starts sliding off. Sometimes in the morning he doesn't know I've removed his cover and I manage to find him. He's always upright and when he wakes up he always comes up to me wiggling his little front fins. He's really cute.

. . . until tomorrow, friends!

Good night!

Maybe I'm allowing him to be a lazy beach boy because his tank has too many hammocks. He does swim...and I'm just kidding. I have 2 marimo moss balls but the other plants are silk. He hangs out on them, swims, runs around in his little hideaways. I think he's happy...but I've never done an aquarium before. I did see a difference though when we had our heat wave. Even though the tank temps were basically the same he was less active. I need to figure out why.

 

[DE42]

Bug swings in temp can be hard on them. But my guess would be less O2 in the water.

Thanks Cathie! That’s a really nice thing to see. I’m smiling

Oh, man! She trusts you on your own? Or a better question, you trust her???

I went thru living with the green monster (jealousy). Not a good look on me. Promised myself I would never go there again. Different women different time.

I've often wondered if the freezing process takes away from the quality of the burger?

Probably does but there are no White Castle in Florida. Well not near me anyways.
