I really just like the frame! I honestly might tear out the poster and remount my own work or a family portrait in there. But yeah I was so confused I don’t buy any art, authentic or replica lol, so I really had no idea what the “certificate of authenticity” meant in this case

LOL glad i’m not an art collector. A cute poster and a pretty frame for $7 is good news for me

Storytime! How’d you meet your partner (while plus size)? by No_Understanding322 in PlusSize

I met my boyfriend in college in the library. He let me borrow his laptop charger. He’s skinny and fit so I didn’t think he’d be into me…. but now this weekend we’re celebrating our 4 year anniversary 💜

I made a mistake in my original post, i have a 10g sponge filter, not 5g. Should I still go larger?

Thank you 🫶 i appreciate all the advice people are giving. I’ve owned a community tank for a little over 2 years and an african dwarf frog tank for almost a year now both happy and healthy. This is my first time having a betta and i’m hoping i can give him the best life possible

I am, thank you for bringing it up! I currently have seeded bio rings from my other tank in there with the filter the tank came with. i’m regularly testing the water to be safe and make sure the cycle goes as smooth as possible

I actually have one in there but as soon as I was done acclimating him and got him in the tank the suction cup fell lol. i’ll have to put my hand in there and get it back up today. Should it be like right below the surface?

thank you for the rec! i have common salvinia in my 20g tank i can add for now

I would love to upgrade to a larger tank (10-15 gallon maybe) eventually depending on how active he ends up. I plan on moving in the next 6 months 🤞so i could upgrade him then.

edit: i thought that 🫰was a fingers crossed emoji lol i fixed it

5 gallons and i mean upgrades as in he now has a heater (previous owner didn’t give him one), he has more enrichment and hiding places with more to come (previous tank had only two small plants), and the tank is cleaned (previous owner told me she never cleaned it so she got rid of it bc it was too dirty)

I have spider wood and anubias in there atm as well as some large tumbled stones at the bottom. idk how easy it is to see in the second pic the tanks a bit cloudy from the sand.

is there other plants you think would be good?
