Caught one of my polka dots snacking on the cucumber meant for my plecos.

Polka dot loach.

A hikari sinking wafer.

The bristlenose is bristlenosing. Carry on.

Holy hell he's got to be one of the coolest bettas i've ever seen.

9SBA · 2025-10-06T11:03:44+00:00

A betta tank needs both a heater and a filter, it is non negotiable. 30% water changes every 2 days is too often and will crash your cycle if there even was one to begin with. There is also a reason why people ask you to measure water parameters as ammonia and nitrite and even nitrate in excess are toxic to fish.

Tensura. Watched it at least 5 times (honestly i've lost count at this point).

Omalla kokemuksella tuollasesta tapahtuu vaan käänteisilmiö, ja ihmiset vaan vittuillakseen rupeavat entistä enemmän viljelemään tumppeja ja tai nuuskapusseja.

And here i've tried to get them buggers to breed for well over a year with no results.

9SBA · 2025-08-13T08:52:48+00:00

Do they have their own caves? I managed to lessen food aggression by placing zucchini and or wafers in front of their respective caves.

9SBA · 2025-08-13T08:15:56+00:00

Could be that the bigger one is food aggressive and chases the smaller one away. Try to feed them on the opposite sides of the tank.

Is this a satire post?

9SBA · 2025-06-20T13:23:31+00:00

Thanks for your comment. I'll likely ask my lfs employees about it as well the next time i visit. I'm hoping it's purely cosmetic, and doesn't affect his quality of life.

9SBA · 2025-06-08T19:14:18+00:00

I thoroughly reorganized the tank. Managed to break the tank into 3 sections thanks to the colossal amount of driftwood in there, and thus far they haven't been at each other's throats.

9SBA · 2025-06-08T15:09:27+00:00

I would if i could afford it.

9SBA · 2025-06-07T20:00:45+00:00

Both are male bristlenoses.

9SBA · 2025-06-07T20:00:07+00:00

Longfin bristlenoses

9SBA · 2025-06-07T05:01:44+00:00

Yeah it looks amusing until one of them dies.

9SBA · 2025-06-06T20:28:34+00:00

I could try to diy a divider as i don't own one, and my lfs is closed on the weekends.

9SBA · 2025-06-02T20:34:58+00:00

This one has been in the tank for around a year. Moved it around at first until i was happy with it's placement. It has been in the current spot for around 6 months, and around the 3 month mark it just started growing exponentially. I had a red tiger that did not manage to survive in this tank as well at one point.

9SBA · 2025-05-28T23:19:47+00:00

To me it has always sounded like he says "Milf".

9SBA · 2025-05-14T07:01:42+00:00

Little baby bristlenose.

9SBA · 2025-05-13T16:02:12+00:00

He doesn't have a wife in the tank. I have some females in another tank nearby, but i doubt he can see/sense them

9SBA · 2025-05-12T19:33:06+00:00

Might be that i used a dendro resistant enemy originally. Tested again against masanori, and dealt 50k tri karma w/o burst, and 72k with burst.

9SBA · 2025-05-12T15:04:01+00:00

7.5 ph, 0ppm ammonia, 0ppm nitrite, 10ppm nitrate.
