So after two times of trying to post this on mobile. I decided to use my computer. 

TANK UPDATE: 

I did my first water change today, and it was hell. Could’ve been worse. But still hell. I only did 30% water change and doing the math for the gallons and ounces and stuff really helped. I would suggest investing in a big ass measuring cup for water changes. I was gonna wait until Friday to do one but I tested the water today and I had small levels of ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite. Which can kill my fish and I obviously don’t want that. Also while doing water tests, I dropped not one, but two of my test tubes. Guess I shouldn’t drop them on tile floors, should I? 

Anyway, onto Ren

So Ren has been acting a little weird. As you can see, he’s trying to eat the wafers I have for the corys, which I expected him to kind of do. I tried flakes for one feeding and he ate a few of them even with me trying to stop him. I fed him last night and this morning and both times he ate it and then spit it out. I let the pellets soak for two minutes so he can eat them a little easier. I’m just gonna watch him and read some more and see if anything is wrong. But enough of me rambling. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

TANK UPDATE:

The fish, have been named. My delta tail betta is named Ren. I got four albino corydora’s today who are named Kakashi, Kiryu, Allen, and Jiraiya. All white hair anime boys because I’m a weeb. I don’t know their genders so I just threw those names out. Ren has nipped at them a little but besides that, he’s been pretty ok with them so far. Fun fact, Ren loves the bubbles from the filter. He chases the bubble’s reflections from the glass and it’s the funniest thing. He also attacks the bubbles on the surface. He also booped my finger again today. So I had a mug that I got forever ago and I just sterilized it and threw it in there with the extra mushroom because I felt bad that they only had one hide away, I’m gonna move the mushroom a little because it looks a little weird (I think anyway). I plan on testing the water tomorrow to make sure that none of the tank water messed up mine, I didn’t put their tank water in with mine but some of it was on the net I had to use to get them out with. I promise that the supply list posts WILL come, I’m just low key dreading it. I also have a big BIO 103 test tomorrow and a paper due Tuesday so that’s always nice. I don’t want Ren to eat the flakes I got for the cory’s so I’m gonna try to maybe put him in the cup for a little? I’m not sure yet, I don’t want to stress him out but I don’t want him eating the flakes either. If anyone has suggestions, I’d love to hear them!
