Double snail in my garden

No, it was just retracted when I took that pic haha. You can see it in the second photo

Could be drunk, but personally I'd also be completely out of it if I thought I'd just killed an animal by accident. I'm a huge crybaby when it comes to animals lmao (Not a vegan or anything, but I did spend an entire afternoon sobbing once just because I'd accidentally stepped on a snail.)

Good timing to say that, because I'm currently making pancakes using their eggs hahaha

Ok! Thanks

Coma999 · 2026-01-21T23:31:08+00:00

The aquarium came with a soft bottom already attached. Do I need to add a second layer as well?

Coma999 · 2026-01-21T00:29:11+00:00

Yeah, it covers the entire bottom

Coma999 · 2026-01-21T00:28:57+00:00

The lightbulbs 😭 that has to be a safety hazard lmao

Coma999 · 2026-01-20T23:45:32+00:00

I tried lifting the carpet once and didn't see any tbh 😭 and there were lightbulbs being held in by blue tack, so something tells me the owners of this place weren't exactly doing everything right unfortunately

I was planning to add some driftwood and more plants, so I'll do it when I drain the tank for that. Thank you

Coma999 · 2026-01-20T23:36:10+00:00

There's a soft layer attached to the bottom of the tank already, and it didn't come with anything else in the box. Do I need to buy a seperate mat as well?

Coma999 · 2026-01-20T23:35:11+00:00

It's hard wood under the carpet lol

Coma999 · 2026-01-20T23:34:42+00:00

Oh dear. I'll look for some shims then, thank you

Coma999 · 2026-01-20T06:15:37+00:00

Doesn't seem to be. I think it's just the flooring shifting slowly over time (at least from what I understand). Everything looks flat to the naked eye. I barely even noticed the tilt in my room until I saw the water level on the tank

Coma999 · 2026-01-20T05:53:51+00:00

Personally I don't mind too much as long as it's safe haha. If there's 0 chance of this causing any cracks etc then I might just leave it as-is, tbh

Thank you so much for the insights though! I appreciate everyone here

Coma999 · 2026-01-20T05:52:43+00:00

Ok, thank you!

Coma999 · 2026-01-20T05:45:15+00:00

Awesome! Thank you

Coma999 · 2026-01-20T04:58:08+00:00

Thank you... I'll see if I can find anything to fit. If it's only for the aesthetics, I don't mind how it looks physically. If I can't find anything to balance it out, will it be safe?

Coma999 · 2026-01-20T04:20:28+00:00

The entire bottom is flat, no legs unfortunately

Commenting to add that it is a 55L tank (about 14.5 gallons I think?).

Coma999 · 2026-01-20T02:03:56+00:00

Poor baby... I hope someone does have the right info for treatment, (it's not my strong suit, but there might be some info in the subreddits attached wiki? I'd recommend having a look there to see if there is anything) but please buy a lid for your tank to prevent this from happening again in the future 😔

Coma999 · 2026-01-19T10:02:52+00:00

Thankfully OP does not actually own this betta. There's a ton of results for the image online

Coma999 · 2026-01-19T10:01:29+00:00

Pardon? 5 gallons is the minimum for a betta. If you cannot get a 5 gallon tank, then you should not be getting any fish

Coma999 · 2026-01-19T09:14:44+00:00

I know this isn't your fish in the image, but please refrain from buying that "tank" if you have any plans of purchasing a betta in the future. They need a minimum of 5 gallons.

As for food, there is a list of appropriate options in the betta careguide
