There's probably multiple factors going on for why the bettas would die. You don't know what's going on with the customer and the new tank the betta is put in. Some tanks may not be properly set up, either uncycled, unconditioned, unheated or who knows what. Then there's the betta themselves. I...

There are so many options you can go with!! I love schools of little fish, particularly danios! I haven't kept any yet, but I love the looks of all of them! Also, make sure to do your research on any fish recommended, as I'm just listing names, and am not an expert on whether they would actually...

A true story: told as best as can be remembered. A few weeks ago, my sister walked into our living and looked at the tank. She then asks me "When did you get this fish?", pointing at my centerpiece, a bolivian ram. I can't help but stare at her for the ludicrousy of the question. "What do you...

This is my 29 gallon tank (please forgive the glare). I've had this tank for 2 1/2 years now, and I love it! Here is the basic info: Filtered with an Eheim Ecco Pro canister filter. Off brand lighting and heating. Heavily planted with crypts and one massive java Fern. Scaped with pool filter...

You could try fish like barbs and danios, as some aren't too tricky and should sell well.

I agree it looks like Neocaridina, perhaps even the orange Sunkist strain. Awesome that they've gotten so big! Lovely looking crustaceans you have.

Depends on how much of each you get with the bundle. Recommend at least 5 stems per plant, and about a golf ball size of moss. Like the bundle that you put together though! I love salvinia minima, it grows so well!

Did you recently buy this plant? If so, it could be that the plant was grown out of water, and it is now acclimating to being submerged. Just a thought.

A wonderful response @Uberhoust, and I am grateful for your opinion on this matter. Unfortunately it might be a couple of weeks before I can get my hands on some fertilizer, but when I do and start trying that, I will make sure to share results. Thankfully the cyanobacteria isn't really on my...

I use a turkey baster, so as to not suck up any of my shrimp. But yes, I still use it to suck up debris. It's not really debris though making my tank look bad, its more of the fungus and algae that the wood grows, as well as all this brown stuff all over the glass crypt leaves.

Unfortunately I'm still battling the BGA. I'm at the point where I'm removing the moss and pulling it off by hand, then putting it back in the tank in a separate spot where it isn't touching anything with cyanobacteria on it. It has also spread to my other plants, and it's a pain to try and...

Cool! Maybe I should start looking for twigs myself! Yeah, I asked about the cleanliness because I'm doing regular water changes, and have a simple sponge filter too, with no fish just shrimp, and I feel that my tank still looks filthy. :)

How do you keep it so clean? A good filter or snails? Also, I love the twigs you are using!

I think you have a female Betta! That spot is sometimes called an "egg spot". Others might correct me, but I do believe you have a girl, not a guy. ☺️

Try using Seriously Fish. com, I have found it to be really helpful coming up with ideas! If it were a soft water tank, I would have said pygmy cories.

I'm a lover of books! Awesome that this thread was made, I needed some recommendations! Now to try and choose just a few of my favorites: 1. Redwall by Brian Jacques. Awesome book that I've read many times! His writing style his beautiful, and the world and story he creates his heroic and...

Thank you! I absolutely adore these cows! I had a hard time choosing a photo! They've got a wonderful taste in hair styling! 🤣

Thank y'all! I have thought about trying to sell, though I'm at a loss for how to get started. And I'm still working on improving my original art. These drawings are copied from others photos that I found on Pinterest.

Until AFTER Christmas?!!! But that's so far away! Why would you torture us like this?!!!

My latest drawings First time doing a pen drawing with the cow. I really liked it and will definitely do it again in there future!

What about being a pet sitter? I know that isn't exactly a stable income either, but it would definitely be flexible!

Thanks, I may look into it.

Thanks to all for the good information! To answer @Archerfish: This tank is well established. The java fern is attached to piece of wood, and it's really big. I can't change the brightness setting on the light unfortunately. This is a 29 gallon tank, with a light by Hygger, though I'm not...

Do you have a fertilizer that you would recommend? I've been looking at an all in one by NilocG.

I don't add any kind of supplements to my tanks right now, forgot to mention that. I've thought about Flourish products, and I'll look back into them. Dually noted about the iron, thanks.

My crypts and java fern are doing really well! Nice growth and reproducing. But, I have noticed signs in the leaves making me think there is a deficiency in some kind of nutrient, and so I am hoping that y'all can help me identify it and suggest a fertilizer that will fix it. The leaves on the...

While I'm not an expert on sororities, I have successfully kept multiple female bettas together for three months in a 10 gallon aquarium (the reason it didn't work out longer was that a few died and that messed up the hierarchy). Personally, I think 6 is an awesome number. Yeah, some people...

Neocaridina shrimp. Technically not fish though, so then it would be my Bolivian ram and cherry barbs. One of the best decisions I ever made! Ramsey (the Bolivian ram 🤣) is a complete dork! ☺️

I agree with everyone. I think it looks like longfin female cherry barbs. Lovely!

My favs: (I've only had so many fish, so I don't have a lot to compare to 😄 ) Tetra: congo (never had them, they're just pretty) Barb: Cherry barb (only barb I've ever had, but I still love their personality) Rainbowfish: luminatus or furcata (based on what I've researched) Live-bearers: none...

Not an awesome pic, but the best can do. I got 15 shrimp about a month ago, and they've settled into my 10 gal nicely. They're ancestors were probably Blue dreams, but these are mix of bright blue, dark blue, black, and one of two brown. They're so much fun to watch!

Wow! Perfect information! Will the females be okay if I don't get a setup ready soon? I don't think I have everything necessary to purposely breed them at the moment.

Thank you for responding and answering my questions! I'm trying to research the breeding process. What size tank or container would you recommend spawning them in? I would spawn them in the breeder and then put them back in their usual 29 gallon. What kind of process would you recommend for...
