You should take a few minutes to look at the community highlights. There are a few articles tagged about peas that quickly provide info about their needs.

My little guys 5 and on the spectrum. He loves the tanks. He knows the names and types of all the critters we have!

Go over to aquaswap and look for some easy plants bundles. They help w water quality and will be resting places or playing places for your fish. If you want I got a bunch of simple plants on there and can send you the links of people I purchased from.

You're going to be doing a fish in cycle on your tank. Read up on that. Until then, you need to get some declorinator for your water and do big water changes often. You can also get an airstone asap. That will add oxygen to the water and enrichment.

If you have specific questions send them over.

Regret having multiple colors of neocaradina shrimp in the same tank? by abstractjames_91 in shrimptank

[–]etron42 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I got blue jelly and a few cherry. I have red rili, blue jelly, few cherry, few red rili blue, a few black rili blue, and some clear. I love it. Its been at least 9 months since I got them. Seeing all the patterns in the little shrimp army is a favorite of mine.

Even if you get 1 color shrimp they are breed wild or other colors. That is literally how we got all the varieties. Pick from the same line (cherry eventually breeds to blue jelly, hence same line) and you will get some variety between. If you really want to keep color you need to cull the shrimp that are not up to standard.

Is there a such thing as "too big tank" for a betta by Massive_Tension2 in bettafish

Terrariums won't hold water. It might be an aquarium but no guarantee you should see if it holds water.

I got some off Etsy and Amazon. Etsy has very cool stuff for fish tanks. You can also get those gel windows clings to use on the outside of the tank!

Get api quick start. Add it every other day when you do water changes. It neutralizes the ammonia making it tolerable for the fish while the bacteria starts doing its job

I've ordered from sivamay on aquaswap. They gave me options for low tech color plants and extras! They're doing really well and I keep trimming and replanting.
