Hmm, at first I thought that Tom referencing a Men's Health article was a little payback for all the tampon and purse conversations, but then I realized......... that's a VERY Cosmo kind of article.

Tom... are you SURE that's was from Men's Health???????

:lol:

As far as I can tell, it's a Cosmo kind of magazine. Or at a minimum, somewhat metrosexual?

Emily - :lol::lol::lol: The Comeback Queen. I sure he would have been left speechless.

Susie - Mike sounds like the nice one. Is he married?

Yep, from the times I've glanced through one, I'd say mighty metro. I judge these things by considering whether or not my DH would be caught dead with one on his bedside table. Men's Health, never. Golfer's Digest, Runner's World, The Economist, absolutely. Very heterosexual. Pragmatic. Middle-aged. Sigh.........

Yes, Mike IS married....and not quite my type......he interviewed me for the sign-painting position about a year ago, so we've been chummy ever since. I would have done the sign painting job, BTW, but found out that I would ALSO have to be cashier much of the time. Can you imagine?

"oh, hi Robert, is this your new wife?"

"Hi, Reese, yes, sometimes I still dream about you, too...."

"oh.....Hans.....wait here while I find someone to check your groceries and then I run in the back and.....throw up just a little bit......" :ph34r:

:mellow:

:lol:

appalling.......plus it would kill my back. PLUS I would have had to be there at 5 a.m. much of the time.

anywho, WTH am I talking about??????????????????????? :huh: I'm just babbling on.....

OMG... :o:o

Please tell me you are not putting two betas together in the same bowl/aquarium...they cannot cohabitate...must be loners. They attack and sicken one another mercilessly. How interesting...I know NOTHING about fish, of any kind, but this, for some reason, I do know. You've asked the one thing about aquatic life that I know about. Now, a flow chart...hmmmm...

well i know that... they're all in separate bowls, but the bowls are next to each other so they can "talk" if they want :)

yes!! start working on the flow chart please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! input from anyone with actual fish experience would be helpful :P:lol:

elye Community Regular

Okay, Erica...I'm on this.

You need to be more specific. What are the symptoms?

Struggles to Swim?

Distracted/Disinterested?

Eats Little or Nothing?

Faded Color/Grayish?

Fins Stringy/Clumped?

Bloated/Underweight?

The causes could be anything from Fin and Tail Rot to Slime Disease to Columnaris. Once you've established the symptoms more specifically, google them with "Beta Fish". You'll find possible causes, and treatment options. You could start with Internal/External Parasites, Gill Disease, Dropsy, Septicemia...

Okay....riffling through my flowchart supplies, now. Give me an hour...

:lol::lol:

Distracted/Disinterested

Eats Little or Nothing

and

Faded Color

Hmmmmm.....How about this?

He needs to be warmed up. It is very common in the winter for bettas to start having problems like this. They get sluggish and develop fungus and digestive problems. Put his tank in a warmer spot or put a light or heating pad close to him to raise it up. It has to be 78 degrees all the time while he is well, but if he's got fungus, to be healed he needs it up to 80 degrees. Fish fungus hates heat. Be careful with heating pads and lights next to water.

If we could only get Peter's attention, he would definitely know something about this. Not only does he know the answer to ALL questions, he owns a pet store and would therefore have advice, I am certain. Google "Bettamax" or "Broad Spectrum Tonic"...I'm sure Peter sells these fighting-fish medicines, but you can read about them and maybe try the product. I think I would.

Bah...I'm flow-charted out.... :lol::lol:

Emily, your last post looked like it should be run in a "Pet Medicine" Newspaper Column. Your av of Gus would be the photo that ran with it. People write in with their questions . . .

Dear Gus,

My pet yeti keeps scootin' across the carpet, driveway, deck . . . anything really, whilst sitting on his bottom. What's going on? Can you help?

The male does best by himself. Another male will antagonize him; hence the sobriquet "fighting fish."

The most common cause of disease and death in this fish is overfeeding. We feed ours five to six tiny pellets on odd-numbered days.

Keeping the water between 78 an 80F is also good advice.

There is a medicine called "BettaFix Remedy" which you add to the water. It is available in most pet shops with a fish department. It may help.

Keep males out of sight ot each other. Make sure that the water is at least 78F and not more that 82F. As noted, fish under stress may need water that is a couple of degrees warmer.

When Morgan was home for break, we were Christmas shopping in Target. All of a sudden, she burst into tears! She had left her Betta at school!!! :( She was home for three weeks, and HE LIVED! :o He had lost most of his color and had gotten thin, but he survived no food.

I'm not caught up .... I've been busy .... I just happened in on this page.

Does anyone here read Harry Potter??? Instead of The Boy Who Lived, he is The Fish Who Lived!!!

Only funny if you read Harry Potter. I am a big Harry Potter dork. I even went to a midnight release party at Barnes & Noble for the last book, and I dressed up.

Other pop culture "mainstream" faves...

Sex and the City (I have most seasons on DVD and watch them endlessly)

X-Men movies

Sarah MacLachlan (In my house, she is The Goddess)

House, 24, and Heroes

Evanescence

Old Navy clothing

I've had a wee bit of cheap wine tonight. It's Susie's fault. :P

The snow wrapped up here overnight, and the roads are decent. It is cold though and they say the coldest air of the season is coming this weekend....looks like it will be a couch weekend in my house :)

This has been such a long week at work that I am welcoming the coming weekend with open arms!!!! Bring it on!

Anyone got any big plans for the weekend?

this.......dental maintenance system.....bad-breathed Annie is most intrigued.

Peter - what is this thing? Are they sold in the US? Annie does not enjoy the tooth-brushing experience and is intrigued by Gus's response.....

OMG SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes: I am going to Big Sur today.....been way too long......gotta pack and get eveyrthing ready. <b@#$%$#%, that part's heinous as we all know>

No computer, TV, or cell phones for the long weekend.

WOO-HOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D

OMG - Annie will be at the beach for the first time wtihout her Stinker.........this will be SO bittersweet......but good. We need to get out of the house and romp. Plus, young Jenn is driving us, and friends from San Jose will meet us there.....good fun.

LOVE YOU SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is quite an amazing thing. Picture, if you can, a toothbrush with three heads coming out of one handle. They are angled such that you can hit all sides of each tooth at once. I think I should get one for my own receding poodle gums. I've gone and thrown out the package it came in, so cannot give you the name. Peter can tell you, as he does, in fact, know everything.

Oh, Peeeeeeeeteeeeerrrrrrrr.....

      Welcome to the forum, @ARSTONE! The ingredients are listed as follows: Chicken, Water, Rice Flour, Tapioca Starch, Tamari Soy Sauce (Water, Soybeans, Salt, Sugar, Corn Starch), Contains 2% or less of: Canola and/or Sunflower Oil, Ginger, Scallions, Brown Sugar, Potato Starch, Rice Wine (Rice, Water, Salt), Chicken Soup Base (Chicken Meat with Natural Juices, Salt, Sugar, Yeast Extract, Chicken Fat, Onion, Potato Flour, Turmeric, Spice Extractives), Konjac Flour, Xanthan Gum, Chicken Powder, Salt, Black Pepper, Sesame Oil, Gelatin I have underlined the ingredients which could contain hidden sources of gluten. Xanthan Gum wouldn't contain gluten but it is a polysaccharide that is a common ingredient in prepackaged gluten free foods and poses digestive difficulties for many people. The same might be said for Konjac flour.  It is also possible that the product exceeds the specs for the FDA criteria of "gluten free" whose upper limit is 20 ppm of gluten. We are seeing this more often lately and many are calling for stricter sampling standards in the gluten free food industry such that testing is done more often.

      I recently ate a package of feel good brand gluten-free chicken soup dumplings. Immediately after eating them, my stomach became extremely extremely bloated and gassy and it's two days later now and I'm still extremely uncomfortable. They say there's gluten-free and there doesn't appear to be anything in the ingredients that I think would be the problem. Has anyone else eaten these and had this experience?

      Great tips, Deb. Thanks.  What a pity that they no longer mark items as gluten-free. And it is even more of a shame that you must bring protein bars instead of the crew helping you with your needs. Are you planning on sailing Royal again?
