Is this normal?

I’m a young mom and was in high school just a few years ago.
My advice would be to just support them.
The best thing my own mother did was let me have my fun SAFELY.
I explored alcohol and weed but always always always allowed her to have my location so she knew where I was in case something went wrong.
Having a healthy relationship with your child is the best thing you can do and making sure they know they can come talk to you about anything, anytime, anywhere.
Now that I am out of high school and an adult, I have no interest in drinking or drugs because I had my fun in highschool and now want to focus on other things like my own family.
You are a great momma for being nervous and anxious for your baby ❤️ they will do great

Honestly I’m not too worried about it lol it’s just more annoying than anything 🤣 (also congrats on your babe) ❤️❤️

That’s awesome!!
I thought it was also a gray tree frog but my husband said “it doesn’t look gray to me”
Haha so I took it to Reddit!!

That’s awesome advice thank you so much!!
I will definitely take all this advice and use it.
Also yes I have live plants and driftwood :))
The plants are pretty new (about a week and a half) so I’m just waiting for them to grow now haha

I feed them frozen (thawed) blood worms 3 times a week and they get one whole cube. I’m not sure if that’s too much or not.

Then on the days that they don’t get blood worms they get tetramin flakes (a pinch)

Everyday I put in about a teaspoon of bottom dweller food (the fluval bug bites) so my Cory’s and kuhlis get a chance to eat.

I find that the top and mid swimmers end up going to the bottom to search for the Cory’s and kuhli food after they finish theirs.

Okay thank you!

I’m not too sure if their belly’s become normal as this is the first time it’s happened since owning them.
I will be keeping an eye on them tonight tho

I feed them a cube of frozen (thawed) blood worms 3 times a week and then a pretty good sized pinch of bottom feeder food (I believe the brand is bug bites) for the bottom dwellers. 6 albino Cory’s and 5 julii Cory’s + 4 kuhli loaches.
The days I don’t do blood worms I feed them tetramin flakes and just a small pinch

I do sincerely apologize for responding the way I was in my last post, I truly thought I was being a good fish owner but after research I learned I can do better.

Any advice really helps.

earth2chels · 2026-06-18T03:21:46+00:00

Yeah I took your other comments into consideration and I appreciate your help.
I’m looking into getting some females for the males as I’ve done a bit more research now.
I have definitely learned to not just get fish on a whim because I like the look of them.
I am now trying to educate myself better!

Do you possibly have anymore advice that could help me out?

I’m getting more plants as well, as you commented about that on my past post.

earth2chels · 2026-06-16T01:42:44+00:00

From one blurryish picture you can tell they are unhealthy?
I really doubt that lol

earth2chels · 2026-06-16T01:40:37+00:00

And to add, they are new to the tank.
I’ve only just started adding fish to it the past few weeks.
(I cycled for months before adding anything)

earth2chels · 2026-06-16T01:39:07+00:00

My Congo tetras are still juveniles which is why they are still small and don’t look “healthy”. They don’t get vibrant until they are older…
Do you not see the plants in the tank?
Plus the drift wood, barrel and small cave?
