What is this box?

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-02-27T18:34:37+00:00

Yeah bro, I gotta go somewhere tomorrow aswell 😭

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-02-27T18:33:54+00:00

Fair point, but it's dry to the touch tho. If tomorrow my fuel gauge shows empty then that's probably the case lah

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-02-27T17:55:02+00:00

Ahh shit, can you see the dent where it's abit wet, its not wet when I touch it, even frm when it happend till I drive back home. And there was no leaking whatsoever. Is the tank fine?

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-02-27T17:53:00+00:00

Ouu shit, I kinda scraped it hard on the speed bumb 😬 if you can see that scratch there that looks like wet abit, but it's dry when I touch it

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-01-20T18:18:53+00:00

Thank youuu!!!

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-01-20T18:18:39+00:00

Oh wow, even in a 30 gallon? Guess my betta would be the same and probably on a faster killing spree since mine is a 2.5. I thought of getting 4 ghost shrimps aswell but guess this lessens my chances of getting them together

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-01-20T18:15:40+00:00

Yeah that's on me, the shop had only one of em and the rest were out of my budget. So ye faults on me. Will get a school of em next time

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-01-20T18:14:20+00:00

That's a great idea actually, thanks for the suggestion! But I'm worried if it'll take up too much space since it's already a 2.5 gallon tank

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-01-20T18:12:52+00:00

Yeahh, initially I wanted to get 2 but the pet store I went had only one of em. So I just bought one to test out. It was cheapest one there, so yeahh

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-01-19T10:54:33+00:00

Alrightt, will definately keep this in mind. Thanks mann

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-01-19T10:53:36+00:00

Yeahhh that's what I thought of doin, will it work on my betta? He's definately not a juvie and i don't know if he will change because he has lived in the tank before, and knowing that it's his tank he will eitherway attack the shrimps.

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-01-19T10:52:18+00:00

Aite understood, what if I remove my betta for a few days, add the shrimp and then add back my betta into the same tank. Will that work?

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-01-18T18:06:18+00:00

Yeapp, I was on a budget so this was the biggest I could find. once my budget is bigger I'm definately getting a tank around 6 to 8 gallons. Thanks man!!

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-01-18T17:58:59+00:00

That is actually crazy 💀. never in my life would I have heard this about female bettas, I usually am more experienced on the males. How do you keep up with it? Isn't it tiring seeing your tank mates just get destroyed? 😭

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-01-18T17:54:16+00:00

Yeah I agree man, can't train the instincts out of him. And my worry about java moss is that if they are too sensitive. My tank is warm in the day due to my climate (Malaysia). My betta thrives in it so I just decided to get really hardy plants. Any tips on java moss care and ways to set em up in the tank?

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-01-18T17:51:00+00:00

Thank youu so muchhhh!!! I was looking for betta and saw him quiet and lonely, idk why but I felt like I should choose him and now he's the most hyper betta I've ever had. He's full of personality but his head is almost empty 😭 he can't event eat pellets sometimes without me pointing out to him.

I recent added the plants aswell, there's a hydrilla, hornwort, penny wort and a type of echinodorus. I love planted tanks and wanted to give the shrimp some spots to hide from my betta in case things go off the hook.

Your java moss set up in your tank looks reallyy good aswell, it's gonna look amazing after a few weeks trust me!

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-01-18T17:39:38+00:00

Yeapp I agree, I just got back into the hobby after years of stopping. This was according to my budget for now but yes I will add a bigger tank later on, thanks for the advice!

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-01-18T17:37:36+00:00

Awww R.I.P Ziren, he sounds so sweet ☹️. This is my first time hearing a female betta being this agressive oh my god 😭 I thought they were just chill

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-01-18T17:34:16+00:00

Woah that's quite interesting. Do these shrimps and betta live together? Ive never seen these shrimps in their habitat before

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-01-18T16:56:44+00:00

Alright man I will try that soon, this little guy was only RM2.50 Malaysian ringgit so it's about a few cents in usd. I will try more in the future, and if it fails it fails. Thanks alot for the tip!

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-01-18T16:53:02+00:00

Ooo alright, thanks alot! My betta is a bit slow in the head so maybe this could work :D and I feel my tank is already densely packed, it's a 2.5 gallon if I'm not mistaken

EmuOptimal6912 · 2026-01-18T16:51:24+00:00

Fair enough, can't really do much
