So, I lay back down with my daughter this morning (3yrs old). She kept me up till 3:30am last night. I get up @5 am every morning. She got up, and destroyed everything I'm working so hard for. I've been cleaning everything up all day. Back to the story... she put coffee creamer and sugar In my male betta's 5g tank. She took the fish out of the tank and put him in my 55g with my 5 girls(bettas) but I had another 10g tank sitting from what the girls came out of before the 55g. It was cold and nasty water no filter, no heat. My daughter managed to put 4 out of 5 of my girls in that tank. So, 1 girl was left with my male betta in the 55g. I looked everywhere and couldn't see all my girls in my 55g. Then I looked in that cold 72degees nasty tank. I was/am heart broken. And to top this all off, I had left over pellets in a cup from last night's feeding and she feed them all the left overs. So all fish are extremely bloated. Probably in stock alittle and way over fed. I have a huge mess. I act fast to get my male out of the 55g, float him in a cup in his 5g. Hurry and get all the girls back in the 55g. Did 3 to 4 50% water changes in the 5g. Tested the 55g. I got .25 on ammonia. So now a 50% water change on that one. I took the cold nasty 10g down which I know I should've done a few days ago. But I got busy. So this is where I'm at. My green Betta (viper) is missing 1/2 her tail and all girls are still active. Everything seems to be ok for the most part. But, I almost had a heart attack. Cried every step I took, and still sad. But, now I'm trying to fix everything the best I can. I'll be dealing with a lot on my girls the next few days, and even longer with my girl, Viper. I'm so beside myself right now. A child that gets everything she wants plus some... And she's gotta play with the fish. She likes to climb. It's fun. Not really... ugh! Kids!!!
