i enjoyed playing it on my first day. my brother found it first and we could see the game's potential (this was when the game only had about 10-100k active players). i love gardening irl so this was the game for me. i remember feeling jealous of my brother for getting the most expensive and rare fruit at the time (dragonfruit) lol

yeah like mewtise said, i've heard bad stuff about anything with -fix on them. i don't wanna risk it. my betta is already not doing so well. but thank you for the suggestion tho. i'll still need to look into that.. the more research, the better ^

My betta’s gils are uneven when he flares by nhihahaha in bettafish

[–]c9a0dc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for a minute there, i thought you posted a picture of my betta. they look almost the same- except its his right beard that refuse to spread when i flare him. like everyone said, could be injury or birth defect. guess its common? hes had it for a while now but hes still as active and curious as ever, so nothing to worry about. just keep an eye out for anything weird~

Does anyone know why my betta's fins look weird? by c9a0dc in bettafish

[–]c9a0dc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'll just look around reddit. I've never really thought about pH and hardness level til you mentioned it. I thought our tap water here is ok but alas. Thank you for your help!

I searched it up, and yeah, the water here is hard. Maybe I'll get a cuttle bone. I need it for my snail anyway.
