I dont know why it didnt quote you fuzzybutt- you can work with wildlife under someone elses permit- at a facility, or center- check the DNR webpage for more details. Yes, to answer your question though, generally if they are not releasable, they are euthanized.
Anyhow- we will see if I am any better at keeping dempseys alive. Im gonna get my big tank, yet.
I assume that you folded the towels after she left? Trust me, she appreciates it even if she doesnt say it.
yes- I kept the filter the same, and I only three-quarter dumped the water - also my daughter has a HUGE goldfish tank in her room, so I used a scoop of her water as well. Kayla has an Oscar in her room. Both girls told me that they cant follow my advice with water changes because all of my fish die, and theirs are doing great. In fact, I told Tiffany that she needed to clean her gravel- and she said, "No offense Mom but Im just going to keep doing it my way because my fish are alive and yours is dead". lol. Brat.Mom2 - if you can rescue some of your old gravel or get to a pet store to buy some aquarium bacteria you'll be a lot better off. New water has to cycle until bacteria build up in either the filter or the gravel. That bacteria keeps the water from getting yucky. Cycling can take up to 2 weeks. People clean their aquariums too often sometimes and destroy all the good stuff. I kept a 300 gallon aquarium for 15 years - hardly every changed water, just drained it down and added new if I was having cycling problems.
You might get one goldfish to throw in your new water. Their waste helps water cycle quicker. But goldfish are really hard to keep because they poop sooooo much so don't get more than one in that size tank. It's hard to get a small aquarium (20 gal or under) to cycle properly sometimes. It's much easier the larger the tank. This is one area where I'm a fair expert - ha.

I gotta say your Mom sounds like me. Its very frustrating to do all the housework and work as well. It makes for snarkiness when it feels like nobody is helping out. I have in fact, said the exact words that your mom said. Maybe worse. No definitely I have said worse. And I would have had the same reaction or worse than your mom if I would have gotten a "what towels" response. I dont wash clothes or towels anymore. That job belongs to my daughters and sometimes it gets to be ridiculous on how long it goes. In fact, this morning I will be thinking of you when I tell them there are no clean towels. lolHey, guys...
I need some hugs. I am really sad right now. My mom has to go to work tonight, and she wasn't in a good mood. She said, "I guess no one's gonna fold the towels for me while I'm gone." and I said "What towels?" because I didn't see any. Her reactions from then on were really uncalled for.
Why...?![]()
