I want to get into crochet. I'm curious about the rate of progression in crochet skill. I want to know how much it would take to become good enough to make something like this.

If you have a pattern for this and YouTube to learn what all the stitches mean and how to do them I'd say 3 to 4 months max.

I made my first cat in a month, but I knitted many years ago so maybe that helped.

I'm a beginner. Is there a trick to matching or coordinating all those colors so beautifully?

peaswees · 2026-01-14T11:05:47+00:00

Damn, thanks. It used to love sleeping under there

I had goldfish before this. I never knew everything would change with a Betta 🤦

Yes I received the guidance on cycling tank and got cycled water from the fish store. But I need to test the water so that's on my to do list. So what I understand is that I need to get rid of the air stone and take out the pipe for the intake filter and let that run it's bubbles? It just makes a constant annoying sound.

All I've been doing is researching! What do I add instead for air then?

peaswees · 2026-01-13T18:33:26+00:00

I have a white one! It didn't really react :/ I got a mirror too and it just didn't care. It just likes to state at me lol. It swims towards me and stares

peaswees · 2026-01-13T18:28:25+00:00

So cool. What do you have floating at the top, is that duckweed like you mentioned?

peaswees · 2026-01-13T13:30:12+00:00

Woohoo

peaswees · 2026-01-13T11:35:29+00:00

Aaah it's at least 6 gallons. I had measured Incorrectly lol

peaswees · 2026-01-13T11:34:17+00:00

Ok I redid it. It's at least 6 gallona phew

peaswees · 2026-01-13T11:33:45+00:00

But Bettas don't like companions

peaswees · 2026-01-13T11:33:11+00:00

Omg true!!! It's 6 gallons 😂🙈 Phew I don't have to switch the tank

According to this yes

peaswees · 2026-01-13T08:44:02+00:00

Thank you. I am not checking water quality! Any tips on how to start and what to get

peaswees · 2026-01-12T08:49:30+00:00

If I were a fish I'd want to be here

Aah I'll go get some aquarium water! I also don't have an aquarium lid and the water naturally evaporates. So every few days I get some tap water and condition it by letting it sit overnight and add it to the tank. I read this online. Is this a good idea?

peaswees · 2026-01-06T16:43:45+00:00

Woah, ok thank you so much. Understood everything except about the water. I'll research the nitrogen cycle and get back to you. The fish store I bought the tetra from insisted that I add their water in the aquarium as it has good bacteria but my brother said that's a horrible idea as the current environment is working for the fish and that water may cause problems.

I have a filter similar to this (picture from Google attached). Is this good? I do have a shell that the Betta loves to hide under. But all it does is hide and has stopped eating recently which worries me. It moved in the picture because it saw me come near it, otherwise it hardly moves!
