Marine ich

Our blue tang caught the ich today.. Well im not sure wether he had it only today or a couple of days ago cz i havent had time to look at the fishes, but yea i had a good look at it this morning and i concluded that it the nasty parasites are on him.

We cant afford the medication for the time veing cz DH is freaking himself out about getting in shape so he feels like he needs to buy a shoe this instant, and theres bills to pay yada3 so i went for the hyposalinity treatment, the dip-in-freshwater method.

I filled a jar of RO water, put in the tap water conditioner together with the API stress zyme liquid (honestly i think the stress zyme is a waste, cz its not like he needs the bacterias right now), turned on the air pump, let it run for a bit and put the tang in. I dont know if the water temp i the jar is of much difference from the main tank, the internet says it should be the same, i think its more or less the same so i din bother to check.




He looks like he's doing fine, im leaving him a bit longer in the jar cz when the 15 minutes suggested was up there still were a couple of spots on him.

I should hyposalinate the whole tank but since theres other invertabrates in it it wont be safe. Plus its not a breakout so ill cure the tang alone for now.

Crazy parasites.. And i thought my tank had enough problems already.

About DH wanting to be in shape. He got a little too over excited about it after he watched documentaries of bodybuilders on youtube. After all these years of me telling him to exercise, and he listens to youtube in an instant. Well i hope he takes it seriously this time. Being in shape needs strong discipline and will, you shouldnt do it if you couldnt stand the pain, like when your muscles hurt and stuff you let youself believe that you couldnt do anything else until you recover. You have a life, responsibilities and working out isnt the only thing youd be doing once you start it, its something you incorporate into your daily life so its your job to manage between your responsibilities and working out. Unless youre paid to do so, then that would be fine.

If you work out and start scowling at everyone else just for being drained from it then dont do it. Youre not the only one trying to get healthy, loads of other people are doing it and they manage just fine so look upon them.

Harini tak niaga.. Aku letih apa tak tau.. Malas je kot. Haih.
