My solution to a panic inducing problem
I know some of you will understand this struggle so I would like to share my creative solution in case any of you ever are in this situation lol. My dog ate (unbeknownst to my daughter) the stuffed animal my 5 year old has slept with since the day she was born. Panic doesn’t describe it! By the grace of God I was able to find the same random off brand Walmart stuffed animal on eBay. After frantically researching how to make the replacement look “aged”, I came up with a different plan. I basically told her on their off time, elves find the very special stuffies that are getting crusty, musty, and dusty and bring them to the stuffy spa in the North Pole and return them looking brand new again. I even made a special letterhead for the spa so the elves can include a letter when they return the stuffy. The shit we do for our kids lmao 🤦♀️
It’s not much, but here’s my progress since May 30
Tank houses a betta and a handful of shrimp
My ghetto baffle
The current filter I have in my tank created a pretty aggressive current. The filter I have has a long narrow output as shown in the secund picture, so I cut the bottom off of a water bottle and slid the output through the narrow opening of the bottle. I slit a length of air tubing and put it over the cut edge so it wouldn't cut his fins. It's not pretty, but it works perfectly!
Two week color change
I got this little guy two weeks ago from a local pet store and he’s gotten so much more vibrant already. I can’t wait to see what he looks like in a couple of months
