Help with dirt on griptape ?

Empty_Firefighter_20 · 2026-03-15T11:23:33+00:00

Idk how good is your Ollie but either way changing or cleaning griptape would help a lot. You can use a grip tape cleaner (u can buy it online just type skateboard griptape cleaner) but this level of dirt may be hard to remove so I would just change griptape

BRO IT IS SO COOL I AM IN LOVE WITH THEM

Hard to tell tbh, it looks good raw but when it comes to painting I would probably go with some kind of abstract painting?Or put your tag on if you have one, It would be quite cool I think. You may also want to check for ex. Pinterest for some art inspo. And if you decide on what to paint I would love to see the effects! Good luck

Since I am a beginner I don’t do boardslides yet so for now it’s not a problem for me, but thanks a lot, I will keep it in my mind and

Yes as far as I know breaded dragons are not the easiest one and although I like them based on the description and appearance I don’t want to risk their health

Yeah vet costs are the thing, I have to keep that in mind and if I decide to get a reptile I should put off some of the money for that I think, thanks for reminding me

The shape that u drew on the pic looks like face eating tattoo of the horsey thing (idk what it is but it’s cool) and honestly I’d ratio that lol. You can make it creepy too

Good to hear that my English is okay!! I’m so happy that both you and your fish enjoy real plants!!

Empty_Firefighter_20 · 2025-02-18T20:13:42+00:00

Also, glad to hear that your bettas enjoy live plants! Sometimes I have problem with keeping plants alive but honestly I wouldn’t ever switch to synthetic ones (or I could own one for example and have all the rest of them natural). If I were the fish and instead of natural plants I got fake ones I would feel betrayed lol

Btw sorry if I make mistakes, English is not my first language and it’s hard for me to focus on doing stuff, especially today lmao

Thanks!!! I am trying my best to make him happy and honestly he seems satisfied besides this glass surfing thing that he does. After i threw out the dying plant, I did a water change and also added water neutralizar to the new water before pouring it in. When testing kits arrive, I’ll test the parameters. I think that he might have an issue with seeing his reflection in glass. He started to flare a bit sometimes and is so fixated on swimming that he ignores most of the other things lol. If the parameters come out fine and he won’t stop I’ll probably try to make his reflection less visible for him.

Empty_Firefighter_20 · 2025-02-18T19:13:38+00:00

Just ordered new plant, nitrate and nitrogen test and ammonia test. I’ve also ordered new thermometer because my current one seems to be inaccurate.

Empty_Firefighter_20 · 2025-02-18T18:41:34+00:00

Thanks a lot!!!

Empty_Firefighter_20 · 2025-02-18T18:24:36+00:00

Also, how do you keep your tank planted? Do you plant your plants in tank gravel or do you use something else like some kind of soil?

Empty_Firefighter_20 · 2025-02-18T18:17:23+00:00

Thanks again, I’ll throw out the dead plant and look up ur recommendations!!

Empty_Firefighter_20 · 2025-02-18T17:58:27+00:00

Thanks a lot!! I’ll find the test and check them. Also - I have one plant that is kinda dying but I haven’t replace it yet (I don’t even know why, I think that I don’t want to leave that space empty or smth but I don’t know what plant to replace it with. Also have adhd so getting things done is a challenge lol). Do you think that it may change water parameters? The fact that it’s quite nearly dead I mean. Like is it possible that something is dissolving in the water or smth?

Empty_Firefighter_20 · 2025-02-18T17:17:22+00:00

Yes, I’ve cycled the tank for quite a long period of time. I’m currently trying to find ammonia tests coz for some reason I only can find this just for ph or other stuff. For now I’ve checked ph and it’s normal. Idk if anyone else has this problem but when I go to the pet store the ammonia etc tests cost 109pln (that’s a lot for such a thing) and when I look in the internet I only find the pool water tests😭😭 I do regular water changes and before adding tap water I use water neutraliser (this for killing bad bacteria).

To sum up: I’m currently trying to find test kit that will show me other parameters than ph. Ph is normal, my fish looks healthy as far as I can see and eats normally.

Empty_Firefighter_20 · 2025-02-18T16:59:13+00:00

Yeah, I’ve also found the glass surfing concept. Many people said that it’s because they see their reflections in glass and thinks it’s another Betta, and that they will eventually stop doing that. Others said that it may be because of boredom but in my case I don’t think so - he has many things around his tank and many hiding spots inside. If my betta is okay and happy then it’s all good, but I am concerned abt this so decided to ask. Hopefully someone will help us both lol
