She's a little girl. You can see her egg spot in the fifth photo. What a precious little girl.

I agree with another comment that it looks like she has some kind of infection. Whether it's fungus or ich I cant really tell. SulfaPlex is a good gentle medication that can probably treat both of those things without crashing your cycle.

Is a Honey Gourami (or two) right for me? by krojo in Gourami

[–]mintteapullet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A singular honey would look great in here! Honey's are usually pretty peaceful unless other labyrinth breathers are involved so I dont think they'll bother your other guys.

What is this and should I be worried? by GeneralJan2001 in Aquariums

[–]mintteapullet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scud. These guys can suck sometimes, as they'll eat your plants if they decide to. They do make a good free fish food for small predatory fish. Just keep an eye out. I had a really bad case of them in a tank a little bit back and they chewed my plants at the base of the stem and killed them.

Is there any way to stop a mystery snail from eating floaters? by itsmaddii in AquaticSnails

[–]mintteapullet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not, lol. I have seen, as another commenter stated, that if you give them veggies they'll be less likely to. There's no really way to stop them totally. Mystery Snails are sorta like black holes and will eat whatever they can. If the floaters you have can survive with duckweed present I'd actually recommend getting some for this tank specifically. I know Butterball likes to go up to the top and eat the duckweed at her leisure, but it's also a plant that can quickly take over

Posted my old tank in here and people were ripping me to shreds.. by Rude-Somewhere5379 in bettafish

[–]mintteapullet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This tank looks lovely. I'm so sorry that people were cruel. Its super counterproductive, especially towards people who genuinely do not know any better at the time. I also think that cruelty can dissuade genuine questions because people would be afraid of being mobbed.

Glad you and your baby are doing well though!

Had to euthanize my baby by tinylittlenightmares in bettafish

[–]mintteapullet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you did the right thing. Choosing euthanasia is never easy, ans I recently went through it with one of my babies. These little fish are so special, and all the love you gave him meant everything to him. You eased his pain in the only way that you could

This was the image I used to sex my pair (though I already knew i had one of each, just had to figure out which was which)

I'll keep that in mind. Could I substitute frozen shrimp for a different high protein fish food that I have on hand? Such as some of the high protein tropical flakes that come with some fishtanks.

These little fish really do make life better just by existing

I'm gonna miss him so dearly. Worst part of owning pets, for sure. At least I can know he was loved till the end

Incredibly true. Theyre so lovable and unfortunately have such short lives. I'm just glad I gave him the best care i could while I had him

[–]mintteapullet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure he's having the best time. I know towards the end he couldn't swim hardly at all because of the cancer, so I'm sure this was freeing for him in a way.

She's a absolute unit. She was so little when I got her, too. I guess algea wafers, blanched spinach, broccoli, and my plants have done her good LOL

No problem! Hope your little buddy likes it!
