Soooooo... I got my fish tank tonight with Manda. I really like the tank it's a small 5 gallon one. I was all excited and I bought a plant and driftwood-like piece for it with black and white gravel on the bottom. I also bought a few fish including a "sucker" fish as I like to call it - [you know, the ones that stick to the sides and eat algae]. I also got 2 black mollys and 4 neons. I decieded that I would also put in one of my bettas since they are said to do well with other fish, just not other bettas. Manda had done it without a problem so I figured I'd try it too.....
Well it didn't go as well as planned. First I put in my betta Alkaline, and he got so stressed I thought he was going to die so I took him out. Next I put in Arizona who spazzed out and tried to eat one of my neons. Arizona grabbed him by the eye and shook him untill he lost the eye. I immediatly took Arizona out of the tank. Well... the one eyed neon is *still* alive and it has been for a few hours. I figured he'd die almost instantly... but apparently I was wrong. I hope he pulls through for me. *crosses fingers* If he does I am going to name him Stacey - and if any of you know Stacey you'll understand LoL (Watch out lazy eye!)
I have one more betta, but after the other two I am afraid of whats next lol... I think I am going to get a few more neons and maybe some other type of colorful fish to brighten things up in there. Sooo its been an exciting night to say the least. Ohh and while Amanda and I were out I got a few things for some "care packages" I wanted to send out. I also got myself a Samurai Jack movie and watched it tonight LoL [I love that cartoon]. It's been a nice night...
