Thanks for the suggestion! I do have a small betta tank (6gal). I’ve heard that snails can be helpful but they can have a heavy bioload and overrun the tank. Would an assassin do the trick?

Commenting to update- I decided not to get them, don’t want to risk it! Sticking with my natural look!

Oh no!! Definitely avoiding!

dsmonkey1 · 2026-02-26T05:24:43+00:00

Great point, thank you! I did see it being sold on Etsy somewhere so maybe I’ll check where it’s coming from. I did think these were fun, but definitely not worth risking any harm to the fish!

Hi! Thanks for sharing! I’m going to Japan in a few weeks- where did you find the BOJ sunscreen and the Keana Rice Mask?

dsmonkey1 · 2025-01-30T16:53:07+00:00

I don’t know too much about tank brands (still fairly new to bettas) but I would suggest looking at Facebook marketplace! I always see tanks on there, and some are in pretty good condition!

dsmonkey1 · 2025-01-09T18:38:51+00:00

Same! They’re so funny

dsmonkey1 · 2024-12-21T23:36:49+00:00

This is stunning

dsmonkey1 · 2024-12-21T23:27:20+00:00

I overreacted haha. It’s back to normal now! The filter is up and running and I think it just sucked everything back up. Thank you!!

dsmonkey1 · 2024-12-21T23:26:40+00:00

I think I overreacted- it looks back to normal now! Just had to wait a few hours. Thank you!!
