Well, I could have had a V8!

You know that head smacking moment?  Thanks to you guys I have had several of those.

Had a live chat with Gateway about some of the problems I have been having and they helped me.  Didn't even think about asking the computer people for help.

And my fish, who would have thought about googling to learn more about them?  Just because I am sitting here on the computer already.

I have learned that when I asked the guy at PetSmart questions about the fish I was buying that he evidently didn't have a clue.  I asked for a bottom feeder.  He sells me an alge feeder, so I have nothing to clean the bottom, and I have a fish starving because the tank is new and there is nothing for it to eat.  Also, I had bought 3 male guppies, he says you want to get a female?  Sure why not.  Will one female be ok with 3 males?  Sure, no problem.  The female is dead.  Should have more females than males.

Live and learn.

Yeah, have you ever had a Beta fish?  They are also called angel fish.  They are beautiful and colorful!  However, they can live only in a small tank ALONE!!!  I bought one at a pet store one time, along with some goldfish.  I specifically asked if they would be okay together.  I woke up the next morning, and all the goldfish were in shreds in my tank!!!!  I went back to the pet store, and this other guy goes, "OH!  Betas have to live by themslelves!!!!!

I'm gonna learn from you...I'll let you go thru the lessons.  When I get ready to do my tank, I will call on you. So, you learn real good!  I don't want my fish dying. Blessings...glo

For the fish that is starving, get some Algae Disk.
If the people at petsmart are apparent idiots, just pick up some booklets that should also be available at petsmart on the types of fish you want to purchase.
