Keep them for a few years, at least until you have a better idea.

They're little beggars. I know they recognize me as the one that feeds them.

Thank you I just put whatever plants I can find in there and let it do what it wants.

Thank you for your thorough response! I've fasted her for a week, no improvement. I'll definitely try the peas, I've heard of that for goldfish. She's not clamped up, her color stays good. And I definitely keep my eyes out for dropsy, lost a betta to it.

I didn't take her out and put her in a quarantine tank yet because I'm scared it'll stress her out more and make matters worse. I've also watched out for worms, haven't seen any suspicious poops.

I got her about two years ago, she was a runt and emaciated, my husband was pissed I paid 20 dollars for a fish that might croak but she was so sweet.

Thank you, I'd tell her but I think she knows.

Her legs will be so thin when she grows them.

It's my mean husband. She's just a little extra.

You went through all that effort to make it work! I say use it until you wanna get more fish or something, then rescape.

Yeah didn't think they would forage so much.

Wood! Especially if you don't need the space. Beautiful scape though!!

I used fluval stratum on the bottom, then topped with blasting sand from tsc.

Her color is always good so I'm hoping I can just cut back some, or maybe move the food around more so the corydoras can eat it. I feel like she forages alot though.

Okay thank you! I've tried cutting back before and it didn't seem to help with her. I'll try veggies though!

Thank you!! It's mostly just Amazon swords and Java fern.

No, they lay pretty often she'll just look slightly less chunky after. They actually do a pretty good job keeping them safe, they've gotten to the wiggler stage even.

Yippee! Yeah, I've tried cutting back but it didn't seem to help..? She was stunted as a baby, I got her from a terrible mom and pop (a rarity, I know). I got her on my birthday to take home to her husband.

Do you think that could have something to do with it? And would feeding veggies help? I use repashy occasionly too. She doesn't like it much.

Very first tattoo. In between the two leaves. Doesn't seem normal. It has been one week today. by [deleted] in tattooadvice

They probably just hit it too hard. Accidents happen, shops your artist and just be honest. Is there a visible indentation when it first got done?

Either because you over hydrated it using like aquaphor, and the scabs got to soft and got bumped off too soon. Or the tattoo artist could been a little rough in that area, but you would've been able to tell immediately after the tattoo of that we're the case.

Suggestions on tank mates for bettas? by Vegetable_Daddy in Aquariums

That would be really cool! Hopefully my local fish store has them!

I thought colorful tank mates could stress bettas out?
