The murderous Kephin the bettas new home is almost ready. Just need to get a heater for it and I'm not sure if I like the filter that I had because it goes in the tank so I may replace it as well with a small hang on the back. I hope the little jerk likes it... 😆 Its a little cloudy right now but should be clear by morning. I'm not going to move him into i get the heater for it. I'm also not sure if I will keep the piece of wood i might take it out to give him more room to swim.

Ugh, came home and two torches were knocked off the rock scape! I’m ready to put my pincushion urchin in a blender and make a smoothie..
Don't do it, it'll scrape the heck out of the blenders walls before you can hit 'puree'.

Way to go Kevin! My husband lost a leg to cancer (actually to cancer treatment) but that was back in 2004 so we praise the Lord and count our blessings!
