Aww...so sorry to hear about that Fran!
Any plans to try again with another beta?

Yes, there are. Although I doubt it will be in the immediate future (probably another week or so)

I swear, I thought this was a very, very, very delayed announcement of Kurt Cobain's death...

Aw... I'm sorry, Fran. I think that's why I don't do fish. They are SO fragile that I get too paranoid about it all.
(I have to admit, I had the same thought about Kurt Cobain.)

okay, I know I'm not up to date on all the latest and greatest/worst about the pop world, but even I'M not that far behind.
BTW... already got a new fish. No, he's not Kurt II. Knowing what I did wrong, I won't make the same mistake twice. I hope

That's good, Lil.
Fish are delicate, but I've had suprisingly amazing luck in the past. I've bred more fish than I could handle (seriously, I had a few mollies of different colours, and they all bred and interbred and bred some more, and I had over 100 fish in two tanks. And they were all colourless. Ugly fuckers.), even though I've never researched how to get the perfect tank environment. I kinda want some fish again, but I have no space to set up my tank. Oh well.

Thanks. And yeah, the "perfect tank enviroment" is a stretch at best. I know my problem was "too hot" so for future reference, ther thermometer will ALWAYS be used. I pretty much followed the written instructions as listed in a number of places (clean tank every 3 to 4 weeks, no soap please!). I actually saw a Beta/Fish tank that was designed to look like a Lava lamp, about the same size too here That's probably a good fit. The coolest one I ever saw was at spencer's gifts, desinged to look like a blender, where if you push the buttons it would make blender sounds and depending on the speed you pushed the fish would rant at your or cuss you out.

Well, at least you don't have a Great Blue Heron gunning for your fish.
I woke up this morning, let my cat out, and there was this strange thing in my parents' pond. Upon closer look, it turned out to be a heron. The thing is persistent too. I chased it off but it kept coming back.
Fortunately, there is a net over the pond, so it can't get at any of the fish. Doesn't mean it won't try, though.

No, the cats have yet to notice that there is something in the weird little box I put n the high shelf. I see you're on holiday break, nice of you to stop in
