Quinn's Back, Catherine's Gone

After ballet Ginger and Catherine stopped by the fish store. The female molly we have has some white stuff growing on her. We added a fungus treatment to the tank a couple of days ago, but it doesn't seem to have cleared up whatever it is. I guess it could be ich, but it looks more cottony that spotty. After that Ginger drove down and met Grammy halfway. Quinn and Catherine swapped places as Catherine went to Grammy's for a couple of days. Turns out today she decided was indeed interested in going to Grammy's. It will be interesting to see if she still feels that way tomorrow.

I can really see the difference in the two now that Quinn's back. With Quinn it's "Let's play race," "Let's play pretend baseball," or "Let's play Monkeyball". No activity lasts longer than ten minutes and you're constantly switching from activity to activity. Catherine was much more subdued when she was here by herself. Quinn got a little upset this evening since he wasn't allowed to go outside on account of it being too hot (it was still 98 at around 7:30). Because of that we were forced to play inside. As we were inside pretending to play baseball, I noticed Quinn was sporting a do-rag. It's not a look I was expecting to be honest.


After dinner we called Catherine and told her goodnight. Quinn talked to her the longest I think. Much longer than he talked to any of us when he was in Richmond. I think he's a little jealous that she's down there and he's not, since he kept quizzing her on what she was doing, what video had she been watching and then telling her about the fish here being sick (which Catherine already knew, but I guess he didn't know she knew that).

Did you quarantine the sick fish, in case it's communicable? Or you could ask Scooter, since he's da fish guy...

Did not implement a quaratine. And the white fluffy stuff is still on the fish, even after the fungus treatment. Not really sure what's going on. None of the other fish are showing any issues at this point though.
