Under the water

The names Abbey! This is a blog dedicated to fresh and salt water fish.

[fresh-as-fish]

Two more have been caught. Prince and Q. There was one more that I saw that's bigger than Q but smaller than Sally. He has evaded capture so far. I have decided to call him James Pond.

[fresh-as-fish]

So it turns out that Sally wasn’t the only one?? Meet Jack! I didn’t want him to get eaten by the bigger fish so I put him in the net box but I honestly don’t know much about fry care…help??

I just saw another one but it swam away before I could net it!

Returning the pond trio back to the pond after cleaning it! Freddie was good about being picked up and lowered back into the pond but Wally and Georgie jumped out of my hand as soon as they were above water.

Click here to support Dax's Dental Surgery by Joanna Bacon Edwards

Meet Dax- He is a cat who has just had the worst week of his life. He came to me as a result of the death of his owner, allergies, and some mysterious illness- now we both need your help. I learned before I took Dax in that he had some tummy/respiratory issues. I was more than willing to take him to my vet and foot the bill for his care. My full intent was to get him healthy, then find someone to be his fur-ever family. Today I took Dax to the vet and learned that ALL of his molars are rotten and must be pulled. The bad teeth are likely to be the root of his tummy and respiratory troubles. He is in constant pain from this, and if he is not treated he will likely become septic and die. I don’t see any viable alternative to getting him the surgery. The estimate for this surgery- $700-$1000. I’m asking for $1000- and any money I receive over the actual cost of the surgery will be donated to The Paw Project. Please help this sweet boy live the rest of his life without pain! Thank you for your consideration!!

Hey guys, Mom and I took in this sweet boy after his owner passed away and he needs dental surgery, but it’s gonna be expensive and neither Mom nor I can afford it. If we can get 100 people to donate $10, we can cover the cost, and any remainder will be donated to The Paw Project! I have nearly 2000 followers. If each of you could even donate $1 it would help immensely! Even if you can’t donate, please please signal boost! 

Thank you so much guys <3

Guys, we’re almost halfway there! Keep signal boosting and thank you again to everyone who has donated

So, I’m pretty sure that my thermometer/hygrometer aren't reading accurately so I’m gonna go to petsmart today and buy a new one. Does anyone have any suggestions as to which one I should buy? I know that I should get a digital one but I’m sure some brands are more reliable than others.

I need it to get warmer so I can completely clean the pond!

Last but not least! My little camera whore, Georgie!

Summoning the pond trio 

[fresh-as-fish]

Since this is getting notes again I guess it’s time for an update. With the ice melted and a couple of 40 degree days one member of the pond trio has been making appearances. Visibility in the pond is low so I really couldn't tell you just what the other two are up to or even if they survived the Michigan winter. The pond plants have already started growing again. One somehow managed to grow almost 3 feet in the few warm days which is better than it grew all last summer. Once the weather warms up a little more and the snow all melts I’m gonna be doing spring cleaning on the pond.

I just realized that I completely forgot to post an update on this tank! Everything is running smoothly and all 5 of my bettas have adjusted to their new home. Sirius’ tail biting issue has stopped since the move which was very surprising but awesome. Its a really nice change to go from having 7 tanks to 3 

[kissmy-caudalpeduncle]

I’ll be the first to admit I am not super big in to bettas but this is one of the nicest divided tanks I have seen in a long while. Almost makes me want to get a custom acrylic one made for this purpose. Well done fresh-as-fish, please continue to update us.

[fresh-as-fish]

Wow, thanks so much! ngl drilling the holes in the acrylic was a real pain(it kept breaking, took forever, and I had to buy 2 new drill bits) but it was well worth it.
