Granny's gone and done it again

Wow, that is really sad. What if she needs medical attention? How does she pay for that? No wonder the south is over run with stray animals. Probably will get worse with this virus causing even more poverty

You stay healthy or make do.

For pets... dad used to say that vets are expensive, but a .22 bullet is cheap.

Hey guys. It's been a crazy week. One thing after the other it feels like.
My lionhead gave birth to 6 babies yesterday morning. All were cleaned up but dead when I went out to feed.
Lost my other hatched chick. So there's $40 down the drain.
My 10 gallon tank has green all over the walls, so I deep cleaned it with vinager water and a sponge. It did not remove it but the water is clean now.

Oh and I start back work tomorrow.

So sorry about the bunnies. I have had that happen more often than not these days. You put vinegar water in the tank? Doesn't that change the pH?

This is the 2nd litter she's lost this year. The other was at a week old.
I emptied the tank. Cleaned the gravel, plastic plants and decorations. Then rinsed it like 4 times to be sure the vinegar was out. I only have the gravel and live plants in there now. I cleaned everything except the plastic media.

It looks so plain! But see the green on the walls and filter? It's like concrete.

Razor blade will scrape it off. Or try snails.

Yeah, like that. When I first started with tropical fish, they had long plastic tools with a razor blade at one end and a y shaped part on the other end to help with planting your live plants.

I had snails, they didn't touch it. I'll have to buy a razor blade and try
