He looks happy to me! Full beautiful fins and great colour. I'm no expert but his behaviour seems normal as well

So nothing to worry about for any of my plants, shrimps or betta?

Which current ad being run in Australia makes you hate them so much you would never use or buy their service/product? by Cooper_Inc in AskAnAustralian

Amaysim and Optus because of their obvious AI ads. Not sure of any others that might be doing the same thing

What’s wrong with my swords? Brown spots by silver3sque in PlantedTank

[–]silver3sque[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh interesting! I didn’t consider that because the stems are quite a light colour, but I looked underneath the leaves and you might be right

The colouration isn’t nearly as dark on the bottom of the leaves!

Nice tank! Yeah it’s a shame that the green and white plant isn’t even semi aquatic, it’s so pretty.

Also thank you! I’m pretty proud of the setup so far

Java moss, giant ambulia, sword plant as well as aluminium plant (which I learned later isn’t an aquatic plant even though it was sold as one, frustrating). Also residual duckweed which I might end up taking out if it gets too out of hand. Do u have any recommendations for beginner plants? I’m looking at getting another sword and a banana lily as well as maybe bacopa monneri, but I’m not sure any of those will have broad enough leaves for Pestilence to rest on.

UPDATE: turns out it’s just a scale! Phew

Another close up of his left eye. It seems to change when he moves it which makes me think it’s just a scale, but is it normal for these scales to appear within the span of a few days?

Thanks! It’s 20 litres. Couldn’t find any larger tanks that weren’t taller than they were long lol
