I am begining to hate my aquarium. First, I can only have one fish, because he tries to kill all of the other fish I put in there (he's a barb, supposedly nice, but isn't). And no matter how many times I change the water, it's dark green the next day. It doesn't seem to bother my fish (which I named Bayonette), but I would like to be able to see him. My mom thinks it's my plants that are turning the water green, and making it cloudy, but I've seen other people with live plants, and their water is fine (I really like having live plants too, they're so much prettier than the fake ones, imho)! My mom also thinks that I need an undergravel filter, but I don't want one cause they always break, and they're a pain in the ass to clean. I'm actually rather surprised that Bayonette is still alive, most of my fish always die, but that's usually because they go cannibal and eat each other, I don't know why, it's not as if I starve them, and I always make sure that I know wether or not a breed of fish is good in a community tank. When Bayonette dies, I'm just going to get a couple of feeder fish, I've spent at least seventy dollars on fish alone, and they eat each other. *shrugs* So if the feeder fish eat each other, then I'm only out a few cents (okay, so probly a dollar or two, since they're about seventy-nine cents each).
Grr! Why does my aquarium hate me?!
Also, I didn't bother making a Christmas list this year, cause no matter how many times my mom bugs me for one, she never buys what's on the list. And I even make sure that it's cheap-ish stuff! So I always get my hopes up, wishing for stuff that I've always wanted, but end up getting what I kinda wanted, but was never all that interested in.
