buyer's remorse and stuff
By ShannyG from the ShannyG department, Section Diaries Posted on Wed Aug 29, 2007 at 01:31:47 PM PST Tags: (all tags)

I was at the fish store yesterday, and to my delight their prices on fish tanks are very, very good. Tomorrow I am going to pick up a ten gallon tank, the first of many I suspect.

I was looking in the guppy tank and they have the most striking male, a yellow cobra with a great band of red around his body. Too bad when I bought mine I said "give me the first two you pull out with the net!" Oh well, the females I bought came from that tank too so it's just as likely they're impregnated by him as they are by the male I bought (who is very handsome in his own blue and black way).

I brought home another female since I was starting to worry my male may be chasing my original female to death. She is gorgeous; a very elegant looking fish with sky blue veins in her tail and dorsal fin. She should have nice blue babies with my male.

I started keeping a journal as of last night of my breeding practices; I figure it will help once my guppy numbers start multiplying.

You always think you will remember something but 12 months down the track it's a different story. I have a folder in which I record water changes, births, deaths, treatments or tank changes but unfortunately I didn't write down the light bulb changes - stoopid!

I don't get as precise as recording water changes (mostly because I change water A LOT) but I plan to record births, deaths, survival rates, feed and tank changes.

Recording water changes is a great (none / 0) (#4)

idea though. Maybe get a cheap copy of calendar maker and record water changes, feeding, observations of health, temp, light, tank tests, day by day.

This will probably only work for a few tanks though there are people who leave (plastic covered) logs on each aquarium.

All the best!
