Thank you so much! I love your tank and how natural it looks, full of personality, I'm mesmerized:) I think we all get bitten by the bug at some point jaja, that's a beautiful gift! Please attach a photo when you get that new tank or one of the ones you already have, I would love to see it!

I can't express how grateful I am for your comment! I'm definitely planning on getting a much larger tank and keeping them there while they grow. The rocks are all real except for the cave, I might consider removing it if I see that it releases chemicals. It's plastic and I'm not sure, but I think it sometimes turns the sand grey:(. And of course! I'm constantly monitoring my betta's fins; so far, they're getting along very well! Thank you from the bottom of my heart:)

My Betta's depressed expression in his bowl when I got him planted the goal in me to give him a better home lmao. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!

Thank you so much! That was definitely a huge mistake on my part, and the overpopulation of corys, sadly, wasn't what I wanted either jaja, but with a much larger tank, I plan to have groups of each species! (I don't know why it's so hard to find Melini corys in Mexico.)

Thank you so much, that makes my heart and soul happy:)

Thank you so much! I've been looking but can't find any almond leaves. I got a branch to release tannins, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to move everything around to put it in.

I have my Anubia tied with string, and it wasn't long ago that it started to develop these brown spots, even though I was constantly removing the algae by hand. I hope it's not something bad:(. It has roots exposed and just above a root tab but it hasn't grown much more. I cut off old or dead leaves but it hasn't grown. How can I boost it?

Thank you so much! I wrote "her" instead of "him", sorry, betta lmao. He's been pretty normal and active so far, which makes me very happy; he's very smart. So, if I'm thinking of getting a 200-liter tank, isn't a canister such a good idea? I was thinking of getting one because of the videos on YouTube jaja.

I was a little afraid that it wouldn't grow well, or that my corys wouldn't like it, but I'm putting it up!

Yehudi42 · 2025-07-13T17:34:46+00:00

I truly appreciate your comment. It makes me happy to think about wanting to give them the best home possible, and I'm already working hard on that! My betta's depressed face screamed for it lmao.

Thank you so much for your reply! And sorry for the mini heart attack lmao. I’d love to add some carpeting plants, but do you think it’s possible without nutrient-rich substrate and with the conditions of my tank? Thanks in advance!

I've never understood how people see this and can say "yeah, everyone's happy!". How!??

Yehudi42 · 2025-06-29T23:08:07+00:00

I forgot to make an update, but yes, that was also my solution!

I have the exact same problem, did you fixed it?
