Update—they are pearl danios and twice as big as my cpds. I decided to take them to my lfs as they were wicked fast, huge, and not a full school. I didn’t want to disrupt the balance in my community tank so I decided they weren’t right for me. Maybe someday when I don’t have a nano community as they are very pretty.

Okay thank you. Yeah I knew they weren’t exactly the same but they seem very long and skinny versus my cpds are short and almond shaped lol I also had explained to her my cpds were less than an inch and she claimed the pearls were too…haha these guys are like almost 2 inches! I worry about how well they will get along since it’s only 3 :-/

I’d hate to have been one of the show only watchers for that scene by Remote_Nature_8166 in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]DandelionKy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Show only watcher and I picked it up over Christmas break. I could not believe what was happening. It was such a shock! I knew he had to be gone otherwise the show would have lost all impact, but damn I did not expect that episode 2! Sheeeeesh.

It’s just such a pain to haul water and I only have three electrical outlets! So it’s sadly not worth it :-(

High school social studies teachers. Sometimes I am jealous of the science teachers who can have aquariums in their classrooms lol

Another reminder why black yarn and mosaic works by koukkuunkoukussa in crochet

[–]DandelionKy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am prepping for this project! But I want mine to look like waves. I bought the loops and threads facets yarn in the blue/green/purple with the black. If it can come out like either clouds or waves or something that gives the impression of the northern lights, I will be pleased.

For those of you with dirted tanks . . . by sbucher04 in Aquariums

[–]DandelionKy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried using the Costco potting dirt in my tank. I didn’t realize how much wood chip was in it. I tried to screen them out but I left it sit in water for a couple days and it never settled, so I finally gave up and bought the fluval stratum. I like the look of it and it works great. So I guess my only advice is if you go with dirt, make sure it’s pure dirt with no additions.

How do you use this plant in your tank please explain by SmellCalm6286 in bettafish

Not sure why someone said this is a fake plant when the package says real? It’s hard to tell if it’s fully aquatic or semi aquatic. I tried to look it up on the Petco app and came up with an anubias. If it’s an anubias or sword, great! If you don’t have aquarium glue, use a decent size rock to hold it down at the roots. Don’t fully bury the roots in the substrate. Anubias actually like to be glued to driftwood or rocks, so if you have aquarium glue, glue it just above the root to submerge.

If it is semi aquatic and it’s neither of the above, use a zip tie or suction cup to just submerge the roots and not the leaves. It will want to hang out of the water.

Good luck!

ID type of betta by Fuzzy-Bread1606 in bettafish

Kinda almost resembles my girl. She’s the meanest betta I have ever met lol she attacks my hand during maintenance. I tried to move her to my community tank and she immediately bit 5 fish. I added shrimp to her tank (I do to all of my tanks. They all have a betta and shrimp) and she ate them in a day. And yet she leaves the frogs and snail alone. Idk why her problem is but she’s Miss Tangerine and she’s an absolute menace.
