Hi, on this thread I will post photos of my fish (maybe AND videos?)
First few photos will be narrated, but next photos (next post of photos) will not be ;)

This is my betta, he is a two faced baboon :)
His first days with his tank mates were alright, then my filter in my 29 gallon broke and I had to use his so I moved all his tank mates to my spare 15 gallon tank and I tried re-introducing some of them, but this baboon lashed out at them, he started flaring at them and fighting so I had to removed the two female guppies that were ther with him all along. Never trust bettas!

And this is my platy, Pepper. He is insecure about his insecurities, when he is insecure, which is every day, he will clamp his fins, and when he doesn't know what to do wih himself, he will hover in one place with clamped fins and will always scratch himself on my anubias heterophylla and will be still insecure. He also will be extremly insecure near the black lady platies (they really are black and I'm not racist :|) , so he'll clamp his fins and will follow the lady platies.
So, here he is, trying to rape (he will rape everything in sight [bad launguage is intentional]) my alpha female swordtail.

And here are my best three female swordtails. Nothing rude to say about them (except for Salty), they are very sweet little girls.
Here they are:

Bun and Sprinkle

Salty

And Onion, my male swordtail. Him and Salty literally hate each other. He will always chase her around
without a single reason and they will fight with each other from time to time.
Onion will ocasionally court the alpha female, Bun.

I love livebearers but my water is sadly not suitable so I have have to stick with soft water fish

That's sad to hear actually :( By any chance, are you able to get Wonder Shells somewhere, either from Amazon or eBay? I heard that they harden up the water.
 
Its possible, I think I would have to do rift lake gravel because water it as soft as it gets pretty much
 
I have some guppies, I have had them since before I knew better and have not had the chance to rehome them
 
Oh good! Are they alright in your soft water?
I would say yes, because outwardly they look alright, but also the answer is no, because I know internally what is going on. They always die about a year after being born, which shows how the wrong water can affect them. Also they are prone to disease more than guppies in their natural water hardness

Yes, that's true, but I'm glad they do quite alright for some time. I have my guppies in moderately hard water with a pH of 7.2 and they're fine, including my mollies.
 
Lucky. I wish my water is soft. I have hard water in my area.
It's hard because I want both types! I'm glad it's easierto harden water with special substrate than soften it with RO
