Master Of Fish Poo!
 
We've got 2 new Bettas!

It's been a while getting the pictures up with the move and work, but Stacy got 2 new Bettas from someone who had them in what amounted to big versions of the pet store cups.

They've gotten used to attention and bloodworms now.

Here's Jericho:

Sammy looks like a shorter-finned, larger-bodied version of Sun Ce. Beautiful fish.

Thanks, for now, they're sharing a FL light bar since those incandescent hoods get the little 2.5g tanks so hot, but as soon as we can, they'll go into 6.6g bookshelf tanks.

love your tanks too!!!

i'm thinking about changing some of my gravel to the flat marbles if i can find them for a reasonable price some where.

does anyone know if this will help with the red algae i'm getting on my gravel?

By red algae do you mean the brownish stuff that they call diatoms?? That should eventually go away by itself , mine took a few months , as it is common in new tanks. I kept stirring the gravel and it did finally go away ( but looks so gross) After it was gone I got a green algae bloom...lol. Can't win. Poor Floyd went without his light on for a week to kill the green algae...good luck...
Also the dollar store is a good place to get all different shapes and sizes of the flat marbles.. try the craft isle

Gorgeous fishies! Sammy's coloration reminds me very much of Raymond. I love both Jericho and Sammy!

I'm in the process of switching from flat marbles to river pebbles because of the algae in Raymond's tank. I was always so afraid of breaking the marbles that I didn't feel I could clean as well I as wanted.

They do sometimes break, so I keep an eye out for broken ones, but mostly ours haven't broken much at all.
