Hi all, I bit off more than I want to chew! My “pandemic fish obsession” has waned. I’m keeping 5 fish (assuming I can catch them, not listed), heater, 2 plants, and taking some cuttings from other plants but everything else goes. Would like to sell as a bundle. BEST OFFER. Local p/u in...

Welp…after a tough week of losing color, losing finnage, bloating, and pineconing…my poor lil rescue betta is gone. Totally bummed. Even my “oh my god, not another fish” husband is bummed. Dang it. He was such an ugly duckling turned gorgeous swan too. I wish I knew what the heck happened…but...

Well, I was able to shove a few old bio-rings into the new filter. And I squeezed the old sponges in the water. maybe still not enough bacteria made the change?? Those readings are from a few days after the change. Here’s a picture of Rally a week ago and one from just now…

Tank What is the water volume of the tank? 7.5 gallons How long has the tank been running? 7-ish months Does it have a filter? yes Does it have a heater? yes What is the water temperature? 78* What is the entire stocking of this tank? (Please list all fish and inverts.) Rally the betta and one...

Rally boy showing off his wings

7.5 galling cube with Rally the betta and his new nerite buddy Hoover. I swear I rescape this tank once a month. LOL!

I swear I almost completely rescape my betta's tank every other week. Just took out all the stem plants (ad added to my 29 gallon) and swapped with all rhizome plants. New driftwood etc. I'm constantly switching things around in all 3 tanks. I think the scape is my favorite part of the hobby...

And that’s what I ended up with! :) Took 2 hours to catch all the 3 spot tetras. Took them back and got a small school of harlequins (a few in the pic!). They’re VERY peaceful and my neon tetras are so much happier!

30 gallon, heavily planted, 2 big HOBs.

We’ll, I got 10 3-spot Paraguay tetra yesterday to add to my tank and they’re absolute jerks. My tank was stocked with the most peaceful fish ever and those 3-spots started wreaking havoc as soon as they hit the water. It’s been less than 24 hours and they’re torturing my simple neons. Called...

I’ve searched other threads and can’t find exactly what I’m looking for. Mystery hasn’t moved in a week and a half. He’s in his shell but the trapdoor opens a little. When I touch the trapdoor he pulls it closed tightly. So, he’s not dead…yet. But the fact that he hasn’t moved in SO long seems...

Bare!? I think it's absolutely stunning...clean and bright. I think the only thing I'd do if it was mine, would be to add dome jungle val in the back and let them grow and spread. Otherwise, I think it's kind of perfect!

My double tail betta has a bent spine and is doing fine! I think it gives him character. :)

I use it as my only substrate and just add root tabs once a quarter. Plants are going crazy!

I have! Only the one. I'm guessing he rode in as the tiniest baby on a plant so hadn't reached sexual maturity. Pretty sure they're hermaphroditic (?). Since we're getting close to that "4 months to sexual maturity" place, I scooped him out this morning and gifted him to a snail-only tank...

Dangit!! I really like having only ONE. Pretty much zero detritus. But the temp is 78…

I found one teeny MTS months ago and came here for help IDing it. When I did, I was told to prepare for MANY more to show up. The MTS has quadrupled his size…but I have yet to see another anywhere! How is that possible?? I definitely thought I’d have bunches by now (and dreaded it! Lol).

You rock! Thanks!

So, I have a dual substrate 29 gallon. Most of the tank is BDB Sand (which I LOVE) and I have a little island of basic aquarium gravel. Will add a pic. I really like the effect, but I'm sure it's not for everyone. A few of the gravel stones get knocked out of the rock barrier, but I don't mind...

Resounding YES! :)
