Haha!! Even with the fast shipping, it takes a full 2 weeks for me to get stuff from the states. lol Yay for living in Canada! lol I'll make a call out to one of my girl friends and see if she has any or knows where I can get any. She's wiccan and has a gorgeous garden in the summer full of herbs and plants for healing that she dries for winter. Never know, eh?

Out of curiosity: Why Calendula blooms?

Missing a tip in the store and losing tips in your tank are two different matters, though. I was unsure if she just had a difficult molt or if there was a greater problem. If you follow the thread provided in the link, there is a section on a discolouration on a wound of hers. I was fearful of the possibility that it was a bacterial issue that caused her to lose tips while she was soft and vulnerable. And, as stated, I did not know what her usual activity level was as she was an adoption that molted after only a week in my care. I was completely in the blind.
