I need to learn to use tumblr better. I've been trying to use tumblr savior but the site always seems to be down when I want it, and it only just occurred to me that I could "like" posts that I want to approve of. Tumblr is weird.

In other news, my male ram is immune to medication. He's got a fungus puff on his fin that I'm beginning to wonder if it's fungus at all. At this point I've given him two rounds of fungus cure, a round of a spectrum medication (lifeguard) and now I am trying to feed him ampicillin.

Have you tried feeding fish a foul-tasting white powder from a capsule? Yeah. It is a delicate operation filled with lots of "my god! EAT IT ALREADY." I sprinkle it on food and the powder breaks off, causing the flakes to spin wildly around the surface of the water like the little RC bumper boats I used to spend hours playing with at the Seaquarium. The rams are already shy, so my sitting by the aquarium leering down at him makes him wary, but the zooming food doesn't help.

Also not sure why they recommended an antibiotic for a fungal infection, but I'll try it because I'm that desperate. The fish is fine! He just can't go into the tank as long as he's fungusy. This is almost worse than a dead fish, because at least then I could pack up the hospital tank and move on. But nooooooo. He has to be the picture of health. I mean, I do not wish him ill, he is a charming little fellow, but I'm tired of running an ugly aquarium on a blue tarp on my floor for over a month now.
