I was under the impression bettas loved frozen brine shrimp
I got some today for my females they loved them, ate them right up, none
of my males were interested, do they have to get used to it if they never
had them before? also how about the gourami will them or the angels like
them as well?

One more thing I stopped in today at petco and they had a goldfish the one
with the bubble checks pretty cute little things, it had one of his checks
deflated, guess it got injured, I felt bad and was going to get him
because the girl said no one would buy him because of it which is
understandable, but I then noticed he had tail/fin rot, I ask her if she
would QT him and treat him for the rot then give me a call and I would
come back and get him, I don't have the space at the moment to QT him, she
said sure she was pretty nice and seemed to care about the fish
surprisingly, she said other wise they would more then likely get rid of
him (yikes I think she was saying kill him) she said all though she did
not know a lot about that type of goldfish, she did not think his bubble
would grow back, will that cause problems with balance, swimming? and was
she right in saying it wont grow back?

I read sometimes they refill with fluid and sometimes they don't. I have
one with a lost bubble and it's doing fine. I may release the fluid from
the other bubble to make it better balanced (use a clean needle).

just wondering, I will probably get him next week if she is able to treat
him, I guess I should of just got him and did it myself but Luke gets
attached to them and if he dies I would feel bad.
