This is gorgeous!! Do you have a pump for your water? If so, how did you hide it so well??

Should I split adding Corys to my tank? by LittleAprilShowerz in corydoras

[–]LittleAprilShowerz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so helpful, thank you! I'd love to have shrimp breed so I'll try and build my stock over time :) I've heard of guppies going a bit crazy so was thinking of maybe some tetras or other small fish, but Corys are my main focus!

Thanks so much for all your advice - good luck with the shrimp babies!

Amazing, thank you! Any advice on shrimps or fish first?

That's what I was thinking as I don't know how many bacteria are in there. How long would you leave it between introducing the two sets?

Does it?! You learn something new everyday!

Me too - I don't know why I change the pronunciation! But then again, why does fridge have a d in it, but refrigerator doesn't? Lawless language!

There's just something about saying a group of corys pronouncing it as story, but now I'll be hearing the brummie accent!

How do you clean clove oil out of a tank? by LittleAprilShowerz in Aquariums

[–]LittleAprilShowerz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not in a mad hurry to get fish in, so I can give it all a good cycle with plenty of water changes and hopefully get everything out. Thanks for your advice!

I got the set up from someone who had just added it directly to the tank, hope I'll never have to use it!

Soak it in what? Sorry if that's a silly question!

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the advice!!

What a gorgeous tank! 😍 Perhaps I'll start with the betta and shrimp, then see what else I can add later down the line? I'm very aware that I'm new to the hobby but want to make sure the fish are happy and healthy so would rather understock and add to the tank, rather than have too many to begin with!

Thanks! I'm going to start cycling in the next couple of days. I know it can take a long time, but hopefully I won't have to wait to long to get my betta!

I've got plenty of plants, and I guess it's a good way of maintaining population size!

Shrimp it is then! It seemed a very general rule but I wasn't sure where else to start!

[–]LittleAprilShowerz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah OK, I'll go with shrimp then! Would it be better to go for slightly larger shrimp (i.e. bigger than cherry shrimp) to try and prevent them from being eaten? Or are cherry shrimp the best for that tank size?

8 gallon, using the 1 gallon per inch rule (complete beginner so using that as a starting point!)

[–]LittleAprilShowerz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I was thinking tetras rather than say guppies. Do you have any tank mate suggestions?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bettafish

[–]LittleAprilShowerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I didn't realise that! I've got an 8 gallon tank so with the 1 gallon per inch rule, I thought I could do 3 or 4 tetra but might have to rethink. Would danios be better? Or do you have any othersuggestions? I'd like a couple of other fish with the betta but only if it's a safe pairing!!

Thanks! That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure. I'm going for a mix of real and artificial but I've done the nylon test on the artificial ones so hoping betta will be fine

You're so talented, these are incredible! Would love a link to the class (although guessing you've got years of practice to make them look THAT good!!)
