Plans

June 1, 2000

Right now, my time, space, and funds are limited.  I am going to be content raising Sushi in a happy, healthy environment, and learning as much as I possibly can about Bettas, how to care for them, and how to raise them.

First thing I need is to have my garage finished, so I can unload all the tools and assorted "manly" junk out of my utility room.  When that is done, I will set up my fish room in there. (out of the reach of my little ones)  To begin with all I intend to do is get a female or 2 that are compatible with my male so I can breed them.  I'd like to get a few pretties to keep.  Long range though, I'd love to get into breeding beautiful pastels, for my own pleasure and for show.

I'm going to start collecting all the supplies I need to do this as I can.

Garage is finished, tools out of the utility room.  I have a stand set up holding my three 1 gallon bowls, an empty 2 gallon tank, and all my supplies.  Since Sushi died, I have acquired three new fish which I am struggling to keep alive and healthy.  Plans right now are on hold until I figure out what the problem is.  I intend to get our water supply tested, as I am convinced this is at least part, if not all, of the problem.  I want to get a water filter (Brita probably) to adjust the water.

Maybe one day I'll have a breeding pair.
