Hmm, I guess it couldn't hurt. I like using a dish though because I can look in and see when the dish is empty and refill it. It might be a bit hard if you don't use a dish.
I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
