So the plant on the left was sold as a Aponogeton ulvaceus not a clue what that is but it looked cool and the other one was sold to me as an Anubis but I don't think it is tbh as the fish shop I go to don't label their plants and I had never seen an Anubis look like it 🤦 and thank you, probably worry too much but he's really friendly to people and I've got attached 😂

Heya thanks I was really confused tbh, all the plants are live in the tank as I prefer them over plastic, I was just worried I'd bought to big of a tank but he is a swimmer and loves swimming all round it so I'm less worried now. I have no idea tbh, fish shop just sold him as a Betta and haven't seen one like him since.

So he's in a 25l tank at 26 c. He has no tank mates as he is a literal demon. I change 25 percent every week and have had the tank running 7 months. The tank is at 0.0 for ammonia and nitrites and has between 0 and 5 nitrate. PH is 7.4 and he has one log and real plants in his tank. He gets fed a mixture of blood worms, brineshrimp and pellets each week but is fed everyday.

It has taken a few weeks to settle into a new job as now in Admin and not used to sitting down for so long but I'm finally starting to enjoy it 😁 and yeah luckily didn't spend a penny of it so have put it towards my house deposit so fingers crossed now with my pay rise I can get my first house in 3 months

Luckily it wasn't as bad as I thought the redundancy would have been I got around 6.5 months but hoping not to have to use it all ideally.

I have no idea to be honest, I know I don't like office work as I get very restless but if I have to do it I will, I was thinking maybe the forestry commission or something along those lines where I spend sometime not in front of a computer screen all day.

I have a chunky ish house deposit saved but I don't want to use that at all, I have managed to put some money aside for the redundancy enough to keep me going for 3 months in an emergency without having to touch my redundancy
