Hello everyone! Apologies for the delay in posting, it’s been a hectic few weeks around here life wise, with little change in the tank. I’ve done my best to recall all that’s happened. To start, the loaches were incredibly messy in the 10-gallon tank. We’ve been using algae pills to feed them, and they just leave pieces all over the floor. We eventually transferred all … Continue reading Fish Tank – Episode 11: 2/2 Update
A new challenge has arisen, this time in the form of two sick fish. Noire has been listless for a few days nowand Sugar, almost immediately after being transferred, started showing white spots. Time for another dose of Ich treatment! Update – 1 Despite our best efforts, a quarantine tank, and daily medication, we lost Sugar and Ninja. Noire is still holding on right now … Continue reading Fish Tank – Episode 9: Picking on Sugar’s Ich and an Exhausted Noire
Hey everyone! This workout was actually amazing! I was able to reduce my quarter mile and half mile times while still completing the main workout exercises. On top of that, I finished everything in under an hour! Unfortunately, I got cocky and figured I’d run some basket ball drills since I hadn’t played in a while. I’d barely gotten into some dribbling and movement when … Continue reading Spartan Workout – 1/24 Why I shouldnt Randomly Play Basketball
And then there were babies! That’s right, apparently, overnight (the night of December 29th) Noire gave birth to a new group of Fry. At the moment we’re counting seven baby fish floating around in our tank. We were really hoping to be able to isolate her before birthing and catch the fry in a breeder, but we didn’t have time to get that established with … Continue reading Fish Tank – Episode 7: The Fish Fry
The first challenge to my goal has arrived! Barely days back into training, I’ve come down with some light to mild plantar fasciitis in my left foot. Thankfully, it’s not painful enough to prevent training, but it’s definitely a pain (pardon the pun). In some ways, it’s a good turn of events, because I’ve gotten to flex my old, college athletic taping, muscles to help … Continue reading Spartan Race 2019 Training: Mild Plantar Fascitis
DUN DUN DUN! Only hours after completing our water change and medicating the tank, a new complication arose. The fish have Ich! As noted in the last entry, we’d seen the fish flashing a bit, especially around feeding time. We’d been chalking much of that behavior up to environmental sensitivity, but now that we’ve started getting the chemical levels down in the tank, the behavior … Continue reading Fish Tank – Episode 6: Ich Attack
Hello, all! This is a topic I went back and forth about discussing. I’m worried that it’ll spoil some pieces of the story that I’m writing. So, if at times I seem a little reserved on the specifics of the character, location, or situation, please forgive me. This isn’t even actually about that character’s death. It’s about the process of killing a character in a … Continue reading Killing My First Character
