Re: Pets.
Interesting. I will note that the PH balance of the water was really low, so I think it was me. Unless maybe a disease could cause that?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑07 Jul 2017, 10:01amMight not have been you. If one of them had a disease, it'd spread easily enough.

I got a fish once and it was devoured by the others immeadiatly.

Re: Pets.
Good news - I was able to save one of the fish! In a last ditch effort, I put him in a bowl with fresh water (fish guy at petco said to normally never do that) and he's alive! Petco fish guy tested the water and said it was basically toxic. So I did an almost full drain and refill, and he seems to be doing fine now. Makes me feel a little better, though I wish I had thought of doing that before...duh.

To sum up, dogs are beautiful creatures who are usually better than us and Jen wields life and death powers over water.
