Our betta, Scalia, has the worst-ever case of fungus and ich. Despite our best efforts, Scalia the Betta is at the bottom of the tank and I fear he will not last the night.
He's a good fish, and we have only had him with us for a week. Please keep our fish in your thoughts.
Thank you.
Bunbun

Poor fishie.
But please...tell me you didn't name a fish after a Supreme Court justice. Poor, poor fishie.

THat would be me. bunbun wanted to name him after an architect, but I thought Scalia was better for a betta.

You named your fish after Scalia. Wow.
I hope he gets better.

An ichthyologist itch? How do fish scratch?

Ah. I should have known. Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
Well, he doesn't play well with others, but puts on quite a display.

I lost my second beta to ich. I'll be hoping yours can make it through. *hug*
Posted by bunbun (Member # 6814) on :
Good news! The fungus on Scalia's tail definitely looks less fluffy today. Also, he appears to be swishing around a bit more.
My preference was to name him Milton Griggs, but after getting to know him, I think Scalia is a much more appropriate moniker.

And thanks so much for all the good wishes!!

I'm so glad your little fishy guy is doing better. Posted by 0range7Penguin (Member # 7337) on :
Glad your fish is getting better hope he pulls through.

yay for better bettas Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
I am glad. I would have hate to have seen the fish President Bush would have nominated to replace your Scalia. And then those awful Congressional confirmation circus. Yes, you have been saved a lot of trouble.
Does your Scalia want to overturn Roe or leave them laying where they are?
That would be a Roe V Wade--er--Swim

Our Scalia eats roe for breakfast. When frightened, he makes a real show of his fins, trying to puff himself up and look big. He's pretty casey; if there was another fish in there I think it might get griswold.

Dan, your use of uppercase letters is potentially problematic. Good thing Scalia favors capital punishment.
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
Little Scalia is happily building a bubble nest as I type - a sign that he's feeling much better.
Yay!
Thanks!
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
I wish I had a bubble nest. Sounds cool.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Not me. Sounds like it'd be a major pain to clean.
Glad Scalia's on the mend.
Posted by Tatiana (Member # 6776) on :
I'm so glad Scalia is better. I was worried about him.
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
Siam supremely glad your fish is recovering. This is indeed spendens news!
Posted by bunbun (Member # 6814) on :
Once he's finished working on rehabing his slimy little penumbra, Scalia will be right as rain. It's what betas like to do. I'm so glad he pulled through!
