I am very pleased to announce that Bubbly and Bubbly remain in good health and continue to thrive living in the Toppall house.
We had a few very scary days (ok, maybe a whole week, possibly 2) when the water got murkier and murkier. Jeff and I each went into crisis mode trying to figure out what we were doing wrong. We changed the filter two weeks earlier than needed. And we kept adding more and more neutralizer to the water (not realizing the other of us was also doing this!). Finally, like fog rising on cloudy day, the water started clearing up and presto, you can now see the fish clearly. But for a while there, I would walk by Sam's room frequently and take a look at the aquarium with one eye closed. I figured if they weren't going to survive, it would be better for me to find them floating belly up than Sam.
The little guys seem happy. And Sam loves having them under her care and close by. She is motivated to get dressed faster in the morning and put her pajamas on at night, knowing she can feed them after she is done.
