Here is Pip. He is not doing too well. I've begun to suspect that he has something wrong with his swim bladder because he has no wounds or signs of sickness, is breathing fine, but can't swim well and always lays on the same side. He is now fasting but I don't know if he'll recover. He was bought missing an eye and has always swam slightly odd because he can only see from one side, plus he has never really grown, so something just might have always been wrong with him.

Hey Guys, it’s been a while

I haven’t been on tumblr in a long time. I came to give updates.

- Pip is currently dying. Or at least he sure looks like it. He’s lying at the bottom in weird positions and barely moving. I don’t know how long I’ve had him for. Not my sweet baby....

- Sprinkles is going blind. He has cataracts and is currently in the 29 gallon with my many guppies, but will leave soon because some guppies got some Suspicious Nips (even though Sprinkles is super slow and half blind?)

- Edward has gone to a new home, and I plan on giving Sanddollar a new home soon, too. I plan on using all my tanks for guppy breeding.

Sprinkles seems so old but I haven’t even had him that long, at least I don’t think I have. It’s felt like years though. I’m really gonna miss my sweet baby Pip.

Yes, I’m still into fish, I just haven’t been on here much. Haven’t been so happy with my tanks either, I’ve always wanted a pretty live plant tank but finally gave up on that. I’ll be taking aquarium science and marine bio this school year. That is all.

What's this??? It appears we have a new FRIEND? Meet Solomon the viper/vampire shrimp! I ordered him from liveaquaria and he seems to be settling in nicely, walking around and looking for little caves to hide in. What a darling.

Such a handsome boy (pardon the dirty glass).

Before and after... Isn't it amazing what a little tlc can do? And to think that my mom had said "but he's ugly" when I picked him...

He's doing great! Super curious and so wiggly- he's hard to photograph! I still haven't settled on a name... I can't seem to find a perfect one. He's such a dainty cream color but if he's anything like my other bettas he'll darken up a lot...

What's this? A new boy! He'll be getting frequent water changes to help grow back his ripped tail and maintain his big fins. Any name ideas?

Divided the 10 gallon 😙💕 Now both Edward and Sprinkles are in it- they've mostly been hiding in the back with the plants but they seem to be okay with their new arrangements.
