Simple pleasures

Starbucks blueberry scones - So good I was willing to forgo sleeping in to go get one. Oh, lovely scones only available in CA, how I've missed thee!

Bettas - they're just so darn cute. I should convince my sister to get another one.

Getting accustomed to new cars - I've already "broken in" the car by driving with the E-brake on. Didn't realize it till I got to my destination, and then I could smell it when I got out of the car. I'm so bad about that!

Vacation - what else can I say?

WHAT??? I keep my 4 bettas in 1/3 to 1/2 gallon plastic tanks. 2 of the tanks used to have dividers so 2 bettas could be kept in the same tank. I change their water maybe once a month, and they are happy as clams. The little cups you buy them in are small, so of course I get them bigger homes, but if I had to have a 3 gal. tank for one fish, well I'd only have one fish.

*nods* Yup. They're tropical fish. They CAN live in the smaller containers, but a bigger one is better so they can actually swim around and "stretch their fins"....kinda like a dog is fine living in an apartment - its basic needs are met, but they deserve to go for long walks and have a yard to run in.
:)

For the size container you've got 'em in, you should be changing about half the water every week, unless you've got an test kits of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate and test the water regularly to make sure everything is under its limit. I'm totally not meaning that to sound snotty in ANY way, and if it at all comes across like that, I totally apologize. I just love the little boogers and want the best for 'em.
