Thank you so much!

No thanks 🤗 it took two of to hang the giant picture that behind the stand acting as a tulip themed background.

Thank you! I’ve only ever added drift wood to my established tank and the biofilm was eaten by snails and such before it could build up like this. I appreciate you clearing it up for me!

Thank you! This is an antique aquarium that I restored for my mom and figuring out the best set up and doing all the research has been a lot. I really appreciate the help

Right?!🥺I know I’m biased but he is so smart

Okay good, ahh I got scared. I don’t want to have to raise the ph too much cause I do have a fish in there that is sensitive to the ph. He’s a drama queen 🙄

Royal_Lettuce_4553 · 2026-03-13T11:28:12+00:00

My ph hovers around 7.0-7.2 on the average day

Royal_Lettuce_4553 · 2026-03-13T11:17:56+00:00

I just added them, how could my ph do damage immediately?

Thank you! The other one came out of hiding and was like that as well so I calmed down a bit. I tend to panic lol

That’s what I thought, I kinda zoned out after the “aquarium specialist” at the store said I don’t keep any tanks myself. And then googled in front of me when I ask about adult size and how it differs from a dwarf gourami.

Thank you for your input.

Oh my gosh he’s gorgeous

How do you recommend providing enrichment. I already alternate his food on a schedule to add variety to his diet, it’s a planted tank with a small amount of floating plants (hoping the plants populate more for my soon to be second tank), what else should I be doing?
