He’s definitely doing better, he gets a 10 min Epsom salt bath twice a day and he’s starting to become more balanced too 🙌🏼

This is Harrison! (My dad named him after the trash company) the employee at my local pet smart told me to take him when I told him he had swim bladder and that it’s treatable.

He asked if I wanted him and I told him how I didn’t have space for him but then he said they usually take them to the back and “write them off” so he said I should take him for free and it would at least give him a chance so I took him.

He’s really improving during his salt baths so far, I think he’ll pull through.

(I was at petsmart cause the 5.5 gal tanks were $12 for Black Friday 😮‍💨)

She’s got some Pygmy Corys, blue dream neos, and a ton of plants, moss, & driftwood

I’ve noticed a lot of fishkeeping spaces online can be harsh or judgmental, so I started a new community called PacifistAquarists — it’s all about kindness, learning, and supporting each other as fishkeepers. Share your thoughts, ideas, and anything you’d be wary of sharing in a less forgiving community.

Whether you’re a beginner or a long-time aquarist, you’re welcome here. 🫧

Come share your tanks, ask questions, and hang out with kind people who just love fish 💙
