We love having a tropical fish aquarium even with all the maintenance, vacuuming, etc. Jadeyn's 5th word (and favorite word) was fish! Actually "shish." Well, we got back from our camping trip to a sad surprise. Three of our Rosy Barbs had something wrong with them. Their mouths were all swollen and red, kind of, well, really gross looking. By the next day their skin was white and coming off. Eeww! Cottonmouth disease. So treatment time. (Don't laugh at the pictures. Try taking a picture of a moving fish in a tank! Its really tough! But you can zoom in and see the poor things better).
The anti-fungal medication said that is could lightly tint the tank water: our tank is currently emerald green! That's not a light tint!
48 hours later we start the water changes. I'm filling up the garbage can with pails of water and Jadeyn got so excited. He started searching the room and came running up with a racquetball container and wanted to help! We let him scoop up his little bit of water and walk with us to the bathtub to dump it. He was so proud and happy that he could help out his "shish!"
