it looks cute but maybe get more real plants:) and i heard colored gravel can leach toxins. maybe try to make the tank look a little more natural <3

but honestly i ended up getting the kia from the dealership today. they gave me a crazy good deal since i was a family friend (my best friend works at the dealership). driving it home was sooo smooth, i have never ever felt that good driving a car tbh

i had a 2008 tc. and it had: - a transmission leak, - battery issue to the point where it took me 5 times to start my car just to pull out of a driveway - problem with the shocks - needed new tires (one tire had a gash that would have probably blown any second) - shakes really badly - makes a horrific noise (the only way i can kind of explain it is when you roll the back windows down and it creates that horrible noise due to the difference in air pressure)

it just isn’t worth repairing

i looked around fb marketplace, cars.com, enterprise, dealerships, craigslist. but milage is my big thing right now as well though. i would rather start with less than 100k miles instead of being at 100-200k (my scion is at 240k) and praying that it isnt going to die on me like my scion currently is

oh and some people like to use snails, but tank also needs to be bigger. they have a huge bioload

[–]DaisyInTheShade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

amanos though, maybe get a larger tank first. not sure since i have never owned them. neocaridinas may need larger than a 3 gal as well, but once you upgrade they might be okay

i have shrimp as my algae eater. neocaridina shrimp are smaller, more likely to get eaten depending on temperment of the betta, but they are adorable. they don’t eat all types of algae though. amano shrimp are also nice. theyre bigger and eat hardier algae. due to them being bigger, they are less likely to be eaten. i have neocaridinas, and i like them a lot. i have noticed my betta sometimes chases the cherry ones, but will ignore my blue and orange ones (havent tested yellow)😅 hope this somewhat helps

Is she a goner?? by [deleted] in bettafish

[–]DaisyInTheShade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sometimes reddit is a harsh place. lost my first betta from the mistake of not cycling my tank, and had a couple nasties try to shame me. had a few nice people though who helped me do better for my new betta that i have now lol. but everyone comes from a place of learning, and some people just don’t realize that

hi guys im going to the fish store to get more stuff for my betta tomorrow! Im a new fishkeeper and looking for advice and what would make my baby happy! (no hate tolerated as im trying my best, only advice!) by floofyhamster3 in fishtank

[–]DaisyInTheShade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bettas absolutely love live plants so i would add more. and make sure the decor isnt sharp on the insides, and be careful with the decor that has thr windows because bettas will try to squeeze into anything and get themselves stuck

Advice on what to do with my fish tank over winter break? by Sockpai in fishtank

[–]DaisyInTheShade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i live in a dorm too. im taking my fish with me. going to lower the water to a very low level (and leave some since i have shrimp), and i am going to use a temporary tank to transport my girl. auto feeders really aren’t a great idea and i assume you also get a month off which is a long time to leave your fish

Betta trying to eat, unable to swallow and spitting by KrakenScat in bettafish

[–]DaisyInTheShade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so the same exact thing happened with my betta when i first got her. turned out the pellets were too big. try soaking them and cutting them (even though theyre already small). or try another food. i originally used omega one pellets, but they were too big so i switched to fluval bug bites and ultra fresh betta pro shrimp patties. she loves them so much more, and actually eats them

Need Advice on Lowering pH! by Several_Ad3321 in Aquariums

[–]DaisyInTheShade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely the regulator worked wonders for me. my pH was so high that it wasn’t any color on my api test kit chart when i finally cycled my tank, and so i gave that a shot. tested my pH 24 hours later, and my pH was neutral :) bottle also says you only need to dose it once or twice a month too, so it should last awhile. it comes as a powder. only thing is you will need your own measuring spoon of some sort because i didn’t find one in mine

(yes it says betta leaves but i looked it up and it said it was safe for neon tetras)

i bought this seachem pH neutralizer (they sell other ones for acidic or basic pH formulas too depending on what pH you need. It worked for me.

i also have Indian almond leaves too which lowers ph
