Keep getting angelfish, and always have Plecos around, so I guess I like them too. I have several African cichlid species, but if you ask me I'll tell you that I don't like them (secretly enjoying them). Let me close my eyes and list the first 5 fishes that I can think of for an empty tank:
top 5 tropical fish I've personally owned
My EBA's know the second i walk into the room and they follow my finger and they stare into my soul lol. they make me soo happy when i check out their tank. beautiful creatures
He’s a butterfly male. He shares a 10 gallon with a BN pleco. Bettas are one of my all time favorite fish.
I love dumbo fins on bettas. Amazing looking fish. I also love the name. I was interested in Greek mythology for a while lol. I love those floaters. Are they frogbit? Looking into getting some floaters.
Right! His fins just look so fluffy! Thank you so much. I definitely name all of my fish after mythology, so far I have Orpheus, Iris, and Apollo! But Orpheus’s name also came from this song I love called Orpheus Under The Influence by The Buttertones. I won’t lie I do get a kick out of it whenever I sing the song to him lol. And thank you, my floaters are frogbit, I really recommend them.
They are totally thriving, some of them even have roots that grew into the substrate.I think BN Plecos may have my heart! They seem like such goobers.
That's awesome! Definitely going to look for some frogbit. It's a pretty low tech tank. Just a full spectrum light and some java fern and anubias. I feel the frogbit would really help with filtration and also look really nice. I've had a lot of fun keeping bettas. I currently only have one, but defiantly looking to get more in the future. I just recently became really interested in them. Such amazing fish too.Right! His fins just look so fluffy! Thank you so much.

My tank is about the same, with some rotala and vals mixed in there somewhere. If your interested in keeping more bettas I totally recommend you get a giant/king betta! My betta Iris is a giant and he is even more personable than the regular sized ones IMO. He seems to be smarter than the others as well, I’m not sure if it has anything to with size, but he’s a smart boy and can definitely recognize faces and do some tricks.
A 10 or 15 gal would be enough space for a giant to live comfortably, and to avoid downgrading your current betta, you could keep him in his tank and get another 10 gal. You could also use the 5.5 for shrimp breeding or as a quarantine tank, since it’s a lot more rewarding to have bettas in larger tanks. Especially when you can make it a community tank
Peppered cories are one of my favorite corys besides pandas. I have a school of them in my 20 long. Their spots are so darn cute. And wow that’s impressive! He probably recognizes your face and knows you’ll feed him! That’s his little way of showing you some appreciation!
The pink on her is incredible! She’s got a cute face too haha. Ariel is a perfect name.
Yeah the Beauty is in nature not the science lab for me. I hate that companies are making a fortune by genetically modifying a living animal.
The genetic modification of Glofish has not been proven to cause any harm to the fish. Their lifespan and behavior are similar to natural zebra danios. Despite the glowy color, they interact with each other normally. The fluorescent colors have been proven to be safe in the water from chemistry test.
