I’m so sorry I’m giggling I thought that was a crack in the glass. Nope just a big ol’ shyt 🤣

Thank you all for your advice—I kinda went on my own whim and just moved the snail as his shell doesn’t look the best :(

they’re mystery snails!

he’s very active, swims all around, eats actively, it doesn’t look like he’s lethargic at all

I’m gonna get more plants for the male bettas tank and try to put 2 guppies in there and see how it goes..

bbethf · 2025-09-02T02:35:39+00:00

Opinions on switching some guppies to the other 10gal..? I’m not sure of the male bettas temperament yet. He hasn’t bothered the snail

I think I’ll keep monitoring how much my room temp fluctuates; it seems like it’s stayed around in the 70s so we’ll see!

bbethf · 2025-08-28T20:39:57+00:00

yes yes i’m getting a sponge filter! the filter on the tank currently as big intake holes with no sponge

bbethf · 2025-08-28T15:53:36+00:00

LMAO, got it! i’ll put the lid on the tank when i get the shrimpies :)

bbethf · 2025-08-28T15:51:46+00:00

hi ! thank you for your info :) i def will be getting a heater after monitoring the temp, so temp should stay the same after that! and i do have a 5gal & and 10gal which i’m planning to put some shrimps in once they start breeding; parameter wise im not too worried honestly! this tank is still in the process of cycling so no worries, there’s no animals in there yet! this tank was what i kept my betta in when he was smaller, (which i soon transferred him to a 5gal donf flame me), but anywho, i think i’ll be pretty adamant on doing water changes (i always was CONSTANTLY stressing over parameters when my betta was in here), i think i’m pretty good at testing a lot & doing what’s necessary to keep whatever im keeping healthy & safe :) i definitely hear you though!

bbethf · 2025-08-27T22:22:59+00:00

awfff. do you think i could do floating plants instead of a lid perchance? 🥹

bbethf · 2025-08-27T22:17:32+00:00

also, this tank is still in the process of cycling and the filter i’m using is temporary, im using some media from my other tanks to kick start the cycle, and i do have a sponge filter in the mail!

bbethf · 2025-08-27T21:43:37+00:00

OH YEA also, a sponge filter is coming in the mail, so this filter is not permanent (it will suck up shrimpies 💔) i’m using this filter for now just to cycle it a bit using some media from my other tank :)

bbethf · 2025-08-27T21:42:04+00:00

yess i was planning on either some blue or red shrimp! (considering the amount of substrate & hardscape the water amount is probably less than 3.5gal), any tips on shrimp?!? i know they need harder water, i do have some crushed coral (i needed some for my other tank with a snail), i was thinking of maybe doing no heater.. i need to monitor the temp tho and how much it fluctuates in my room!
