Thanks Athena. I really appreciate it. I don't know if I'm going to get another one. My boyfriend and roommate think I should, but it was just so sad. I know it was my fault and I don't want to hurt another one, especially kill it. I am going to keep learning and then think about another one. I...

RIP Rome I'm so sorry you had to suffer :sad: It's all my fault.

I think it is fin rot? It has a filter. But his fins were so pretty before and now they look like that. I will have to go to the store and get medicine and testing kits, a 10w and a thermometer. I feel sooooo bad. He hasn't moved from that spot by the shell in hours but when I go into the...

I haven't cleaned Rome's tank in ages. I've simply been adding water as it lowers. Today I decided to really clean it for him. I put him in another bowl and I emptied his tank. I used a half gallon of spring water (which I normally just add to his tank) that was sitting next to where I keep his...
