Hi all, it’s been a while! My last guppy has unfortunately died because I wasn’t able to give him the care he needed to thrive and I couldn’t find a new home for him :( I have decided not to continue fishkeeping at least for now, because I just don’t have time or money to keep fish happy and...

poppy sitting weirdly and sleeping in my closet! :D

hahaha gotta love hyper fixation hobbies. I’ve done cake decorating and baking, clay molding, and now dog showing and fish keeping in the last few years :) Your bettas are absolutely gorgeous!

Did u paste the right link? That’s sending me to a tank lid lol

As long as you move over the filter to the new tank the cycle won’t crash.

I hardly ever go because I pay my parents per mile I drive (as opposed to paying for gas or insurance) and it’s not too close to me :( I do go to petco (much closer to me) pretty often just to look :)

Craigslist is one of the sketchiest websites for selling stuff on. I love it, but it’s always been weird lol. I have no idea what their motives are for doing that, maybe try responding to theirs (without letting them know you own the original post)? Or flag/report their post. I don’t know...

$25 definitely seems overpriced for a single shrimp. I paid $4 each for my low grade shrimp at my LFS- their highest grade cherry shrimp were about $7 each i believe- but i’ve seen people selling them for much less than that. I’ve seen bettas selling for $25-60 from simplybetta.com , the bettas...

You need way more plants. I’ve heard good things about guppy grass- it grows fast and densely (perfect for shrimp babies), can be planted or floating, and doesn’t need special substrate or ferts.

If you get a more gentle betta it may still eat shrimp babies BUT it'll help keep the shrimp population under control! Just make sure there are plenty of hiding spots for the adult shrimp and so thta a few baby shrimp can survive

A single cherry shrimp has almost no bioload, same with the MTS, so the cycle will likely be very unstable. Youll likely never see either of them in the tank. That is, until the mts starts reproducing, when your tank will be overrun with them lol (they reproduce asexually). Cherry shrimp breed...

One of each what? If you’re getting one of each color of neocaridina (hopefully i spelled that right) shrimp they’ll just breed together and make brown. I think shrimp have a fairly short life span- so if you don’t get shrimp to build up a small colony (a colony is just a group of shrimp- it...

Hey! gimme some of that chicken!

Hot glue is just plastic that’s melted then dries hard. it’s aquarium safe, but not at all a strong glue especially when it’s underwater. It doesnt hold anything together lol. I would figure out a way to repair your decor with superglue if you really want it to stay.

You don’t need to age your water, you can just dechlorinate it and put it in. If your tank is still cycling don’t change water until ammonia and nitrite combined are between 0.5 and 1 ppm.
