Still working on it

3:20 pm
Mom helped me hook up the air pump.
We took a trip to PetCo and bought the center piece and some more naturally colored aquarium gravel. I still have to work off all the money I owe my mom.
Here is what my aquarium looks like now:

Yep, nature themed!
Anyway, because the center piece is so important, I decided to take a couple of more shots of this very expensive decoration/hiding place

Because I plan on getting neon tetras, hiding placed are needed for my aquarium. Luckily this piece is full of them.

Remember, the center piece is not the main piece, the fish are, so make sure that your decorations meet your pet's needs.

I will post more later

UPDATE

Today I cleaned aquarium naturally colored rocks, my filter, and heater.
After applying all of those to the tank I also added betta bulbs and an outside thermometer.
Here is my tank's remodel http://youtu.be/3_d8g0yiAl4 I know that it is over stocked, but that is a 5 gallon and mine is a 10 gallon. I am going to have: SKY, 7 neon tetras, 2 ghost shrimp and 1 snail. Actually, I am debating between ghost shrimp and bamboo shrimp, but I think that I will just go with the ghost shrimp because they are smaller.
I am also am going to get some aquarium drift wood from PetCo, which is where I get all of my pet supplies from. As you might have heard, back in Hurricane Sandy another PetCo evacuated all of its workers but not its animals during a flood. All died. Well, this one isn't like that. This is the ONLY Pet store in the world that I trust, and that is because it passed my strict rules against of animal abuse. It only sells hermit crabs because it has to because all of the other Petcos do so they are required to. Anyway, it is only 3.5 miles to my house! Earlier I thought that it was 3 miles but it turned out that it was 3.5, so I biked 7 miles next to a busy street just to go check on Sky.
Anyway, I decided to take a picture of my 10 gallon aquarium every day and upload it to my blog. Today:

HUGE improvement!
There actually are betta bulbs, or plant seeds for special plants specifically for bettas in there already.
When I got it, there were bugs in it and it was gross and disgusting. Now, however, there are natural colored rocks, a filter, heater, thermometer, and betta bulbs! I am so excited!!!
Fun fact:
Betta and Beta are both correct ways to say the name for one fish.

Sky

Wednesday, July 3rd, 2013, I went to petco with my mom. I was looking at betta fish when I saw a beautiful blue marbled Halfmoon double tail male. For some reason, I kept on thinking Sky for a name, so I named him Sky. He I blue like a sky and marbled with white, which represents clouds. So, I named him Sky, even though he wasn't mine. I really badly wanted him, so Thursday, the next day, I biked 3 miles just to go and see him, and 3 miles to get home. Mom was furious. However, she changed her mind about the whole betta thing. She wanted me to get a betta, she just thought I wasn't ready, which I wasn't. So today she told me and Zack we were going to PetCo. I said "Yes! I get to go and see Sky! Can I take him home?" And she said "Yes"!!!!!! So, she had to go to the grocery store, which you should always do 1st so your betta doesn't boil in the car while you are in the store. I was scarred that someone else would get him, so I asked if I could go and stay with him and get all the supplies I need. She said sure. Zack went with her and I walked through the fish supplies thinking about each thing I needed (after going to pick up Sky!) And I ended up filling up a whole basket with supplies, from filters and heaters to a new air line that looks like a plant rather than a pump. I already had the food, of course! Anyway, so I got my fish and all the stuff, and it cost a total of $98! I paid $68, and Mom paid $30 for me. She owed me $5, so I only need to work off $25. It is SO worth it!
Sky in his nurse thank:

Update

I decided to just wait until I have ATLEAST 50 Pageviews, which is lower than the previous 100 deal.

Class night!

Well, tonight was class night, so, I got pictures of beautiful fancy bettas to match the dress I wore!

Mr,USA stole the dance floor

This little guy was followed by the eyes of female bettas

This little guy won the rap contests

This little guy was titled Class Night Prince

 

 

 

Okay now it is the next morning so I will not be able to finish these

i am cracking

Ok, so I will not wait for 100 Paige views to just come around for me to write in here. However, I will wait for 100 Paige views to write better stuff. Right now I will just post pictures of betta fish. So, please share his with your friends. That way, I will get over 100 pageviews and I can actually post things, like this book you HAVE to read!

A Marbled Crown tail Male Betta

Crystal and I are each going to get one. However, she is going to PetCo to get hers. I might, but, if there are any reasonably priced betta hatcheries around here I will just go there. And by reasonably I mean up to $10 per fsih.

Beautiful half moon male betta

Call me girly, but this is one CUTE BETTA!!

Double Tail Crowntail Male Betta Fish

Double tails are rare and difficult to breed. As a result, they are very pricey.

Another pretty male betta fish

 

Hello

My name is Jessica. I have a 10 gallon aquarium and in it lives 3 hermit crabs: Claws, Daisy, and Crabby. I learned that hermit crabs, in captivity, live over 10 times shorter then they do in the wild! With a little research, I found over 1 million reasons not to own them, like the abuse you will be contributing to, such as hermit crabs being ripped from their shells and forced into new ones. I much rather have them choose their own shells and be happier and free.
I also, however, learned that they live in trash in the wild. This is due to litter.

Does that look healthy? NO!
So, we need to keep our oceans clean and hermit crabs wild. Stop the endless torture of being ripped from a shell and stuck in a sink, and other horrors of slavery, and stop this

Learn the difference of good hermit crab care and bad hermit crab care

 

They live longer in the wild. Therefor, I am DONE buying hermit crabs! When 2 of them dies (from old age; I am not going to kill them) I will send the last one to someone who has hermit crabs. First, though, I need to check their house and the cage and make sure everything is acceptable. That way, it will not die alone.

After my hermit crabs, I will use the aquarium for fish.

I know what you are thinking: Get to the fish!
However, if I am going to take my time to document my fish in to a blog and share advice, I would at least like to know that it will not all be going to waste.
Before I start documenting cool fish aquarium plans and fish keeping advice I would like at least 100 page reviews.
Thank you for being one of the 100.
