You can split it. Just be mindful of the roots. I've gotten 2 plants out of 1 doing this. Also make sure to cut away any dead or wilting leaves to maximize growth

Mine are similar, if I startle mine in the morning they have more white on them and then change back to their usual color. I would just make sure to keep an eye on it if it starts to grow or change

So, I finally got fish and have had them here for a little while. Found a lfs that was super stocked with a lot of different types of fish (except black kuhlI loaches which they apparently rotate with kuhlI loaches every couple of months and no female dwarf gourami for like another month). I got...

Not had any personal experience with Java fern yet but from what I have read yes! Java fern and anubias would be good!

There are some low maintenance live plants like anubias and marimo moss balls! Though if you want to go super low maintenance then fake plants are a great option! Just make sure they don't have any sharp edges! I think silk plants are a good option with bettas because their fins can tear easily...

Forgot about temperature differences! Thanks!!

I thought they required more! Thanks!

You could do one betta in that 10 with a few other fish with it. If you went this route don't do any fish that could look like another betta as this will cause more aggression. 6 or more neon tetras would be an option. I don't recommend a 2.5 for bettas, in my experience they thrive a lot more...

I was really tempted to do that lol! I saw this listing on amazon for a giant mat of dwarf hairgrass and thought about buying it. But I figured if I got the smaller amount for cheaper then it wouldn't suck so much if I managed to kill it (which I am hoping I don't lol).

I'll look into this too!! Thanks!!!

It's just the led light that came with the tank! No clue the wattage or anything like that I'll look into this then! I've seen elsewhere that you needed co2 with dwarf hair grass but that it wasn't super necessary. So I think I will try that!

Awesome!! I'll start looking into getting these then!!

Yeah, that is also an issue I have with them is availability. I will keep looking though! Thanks!

I really like either! I think a kuhlI loach would stand out more against the solid black substrate, but I also really like the look of the black khulI loach and think they'd look good against the green plants and lighter colored rock I have! I'll look more into how compatible they are with...

I was planning on waiting at least another week before adding fish (pay day and to let it cycle and grow). Also want to look more into the fish I plan on getting so that I can provide to the best of my abilities for them! I really want it to be a community tank though!

I have the finer sand! And I have actually been looking at khulI loaches and really like them! I just didn't know if they'd be a good option with the dwarf hair grass and other plants. Do you think they'd do ok with angelfish and tetras like suggested above?

Yeah I know they are hardier and I probably should go with those (also more readily available to me), but the black neon ones are soooo pretty imo

I don't think I covered them but I will check when I get home later. I appreciate the advice! Thanks for the recommendation, I really appreciate the direction! Do you think any tetras would be ok (such as black neon tetras)? I'm not 100% sold on the corydoras (kind of think they're ugly lol)...

Thanks for letting me know!

The plant behind the rock was labeled as striped Amazon sword so I guess petsmart lied/mislabeled? Should I remove it or what? Thanks for the help too!
