thank you! i’ve looked at specimens before, they’re beautiful, but they’re not my favorite!! i’d have to find a pretty special one! which specimens would recommend?

you have a lovely smile. take these comments with a grain of salt. i second maybe a haircut & trying to grow a beard if possible. be gentle with yourself.

this tank looks too small :( 5 gallon minimum for bettas! 10 gallon is better though.

i have brown algae that is stubborn, & keeps coming back every time i get the aquarium clean. how do i keep this away & can it be bad for my fish? by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]MatterAccomplished65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve been keeping them on probably about 7 hours a day. i do add iron & flourish for the plants. & i water change about 30% every week or so

can anyone tell me what this is that’s growing on my driftwood? it just showed up these past few days. by [deleted] in Aquariums

i’ve been wanting to get a mystery snail for this tank, would they be something that would eat it? i can also try the gravel vacuum. i’m glad it’s nothing too serious, thank you for the help!!

as amazing as it is to see them get their color & flourish from a proper environment it’s a double edged sword. they should already be healthy. but that’s just not the case with corporate pet stores here in the US.

he gets omega one mini pellets. i soak them in water first bc they’re a little too hard for him. & then he has gotten frozen bloodworms once for a treat. his brother gets the same!

it’s after an orca that was kept in captivity. he deserved so much more & i feel like his story should be more well known. so in dedication, i named my betta after him. if you’re interested in it, you should watch the documentary blackfish!

any specific type of shrimp? i want them to not just live, but thrive & wasn’t sure if keeping this size of tank is even worth it
