Welcome Zeus!

imageHi everyone! I’m back with exciting news! As of a month ago, a fishy friend has joined the TFTT family! Zeus is a male butterfly Betta fish! He is currently in a 2.5 gallon tank with a filter, a large castle hideaway (his favorite place) and 3 plants along with blue and white gravel! I am hoping to upgrade his tank in the near future, but as of now, he loves his new home! He is so cute and I love watching him swim around his tank!

Thanks for reading this short update!

 

 

Hermit Crab Update #5 (MUST READ!)

After he hustle and bustle of the holidays, I’m back! I hope you had a wonderful holiday, because I know I did. Now, I have good news and bad news, so let’s get the bad news over with

Ok, so after recent events and time for me to really think it through, I realized that Hermit Crabs are just not the pet for me. I would not be able to provide many things for them, and I would hate for the Crabs to suffer on my behalf. This doesn’t mean I won’t continue blogging about them once in a while, but it does mean that the topic is limited. Now that I have said that, on to the good news.

Talk from the tank is entering a new era! In the near future, this blog will not be only about my Goldfish, but it may be about some new furry friends! I have found an interest in other mammals, such as  Hamsters and Rabbits. Who knows? Maybe some Tortoise posts will be included in the mix. Expect various posts and updates on anything that lives in a cage or a tank!

Thanks for reading! Please like this to let me know if you want more updates or not. Also comment if you have any questions or comments on your pet!

Hermit Crab Update #4

Hey! First, let me start off by saying sorry! I have been tremendously busy and have only been able to blog once a week. It will probably be like this for a while.

But, anyways, I took trip to my local Pet Co and decided on a theme for the Hermit Crab tank! It will definitely be the ancient temple theme because I saw they had stocked their shelves with so many new Hermit Crab things, so I looked around and saw this temple structure that would be absolutely perfect! It looked a lot like this:  Temple

But a little smaller! This definitely gave me inspiration, but what I don’t know is if I will get one like that, or something more like these other options:Temple 2Temple 3

What do you think? Comment below! Also a quick announcement – my Goldfish Pop is turning 6 (human) years old! I’m just so happy that I’ve taken that great care of Pop.

Thanks for reading! As always, follow my blog and comment if you have any questions or concerns on your Goldfish or Hermit Crabs!

Hermit Crab Update #2

This is a follow – up post to, “Hermit Crab Update,” so if you haven’t read that post yet, you should do so now.

I am here with another update! Before I begin, I have some disappointing news. Unfortunately, due to construction running over time, I will have to postpone the date where I get my Hermit Crabs. I wish that I could buy them tomorrow, but it just wouldn’t be good for them to live in the construction atmosphere, and like any good pet owner, I want the best for my pets. However, this does give me time to do more research.

Also, I think that I will need this extra time, as I have been on the hunt for a reliable pet store near me that sells a lot of Hermit Crab things, or even the Hermit Crabs themselves! I haven’t had much luck, but I will continue searching! In the last store that I visited, which was a smaller store but was very close to where I live, they didn’t have much selection, but I did manage to find just a few items. The first item I purchased was a hydrometer, which is a tool that measures humidity in the tank and is critical to the survival of a Hermit Crab. I also came across a Reptile Hammock/Platform with suction cups, and I had a great idea. I purchased the item and I am thinking that I will use it to create a second level in the tank! I am very excited about this idea. However, before I do this, I need to decide on a theme for the tank.

The options are:

  • Jungle themed
  • Fantasy themed
  • Ancient Temple themed
  • Beach themed

Please comment which theme you think I should go with! Thanks for reading this post, and follow my blog for more updates! Also remember to comment if you have any questions or concerns about your Goldfish or Hermit Crabs!
