That picture might be a bit hard to see, so this is one from this morning after I cleaned up the massive clouds of algae covering everything.

Okay so I have been gone from home for a while, and I left my tanks in tge care of my parents. Then they went on holidays and nobody went into my room for almost 3 weeks so the tank kinda died. The good thing was that I moved all the fish to my downstairs 33 gallon so there were no deaths, but...

I finally gave up on tnę idea of owning Betta Smaragdina, so instead I got a trio of these sparkling gourami, and I must say, they're gorgeous and their personalities are awesome!

Thanks

Hopefully

Still waiting for news on my betta, I have asked 4 times but they said theynwere still looking and that they don't know when they could get some.

I went to my lfs and asked if they could order the fish for me,they said they'll try, but it may not work...

🫶💗

Ooooooooo

Ooo may I ask whom?????

I was all ready to buy, and they didn't specify in shipping policies, so I asked them do they ship to Ireland. And, of course they don't.

Yeah i think I'll order the females today, and if there are no males I'll just wait for them to be in stock

There was a really big version of my lfs up in Dublin, its called seahorse aquariums, but the shop up there mostly has saltwater and just the average tropical fish last time I was there.

I think that I might actually call them, since the shop I was emailing lately said that they have only females at the moment, but if my lfs wouldn't be able to get any, I think I'll just wait until I find some elsewhere. For me it would depend on the day that they would ha e the orders come in...

Wow, what a gorgeous plant! *gently grabs it and unnoticably puts it into my pockets*. Welp, I need to go home and do generically random chores I made up to not seem suspicious! *runs away with plant leaves awkwardly sticking out of coat pocket* Actually though that is a beautiful plant, I...

Nevertheless I will ask next time I am at my lfs (unless by some godsend miracle I find some before I will be able to go there)

If I have some time I could maybe convince my parents to take me to the local lfs and I'll ask them if there could be a chance that they could either order them for me or tell me where I could maybe get them, though I doubt that they would actually know where a fish like that could be bought.

Hmmmmm.... I have looked at the imbellis bettas several times, but for some reason they just don't really kind of like, stock with me? (Idk how to describe it) I have also looked at betta mahachai but they're not in stock anywhere either.

I am typing this while laughing because my swordtail is non stop trying to eat the same piece of some plant root after i fed them bloodworm!

Ahhh no its fine I was jokinggg, I am not miserable I am just obsessively looking up websites that could have them, knowing very well that I will have to wait a long time before I'll actually find one, none of this is you fault!

Aaahhhhhhh he's so beautiful.... its making me so sad that I don't have one now waaaaa😭😭😭🤣

I just find that they are so beautiful and elegant, their character and care is special and they are just breathtaking to see when they are cared for properly. When I saw their lustrous, shiny, colourful fins and gleaming bodies I just knew, this was the fish for me. I have researched many wild...

Congratulations!!!!! 🎉🎉🥳💕You guys are such a sweet couple! I hope you guys live a happy and love filled life together!! Best wishes and enjoy your honeymoon!❤

I'm gonna have to say that my biggest mistake in fishkeeping was rescaping my tank. I had large buckets and bowls all set up and cycled for the fish, however I only had one heater, and that was in the main tank, so I moved all the fish, added Peime, had them all fed, all was good. Rescaled the...

Oh nooooo, that must have been a horrible sight. I'm surprised you didn't fully give up on fishkeeping there and then

I was thinking from the very start to get more than one pair, because if it does end up coming from Germany or Europe it will probably be in rough shape, and what matters most to me is for it to actually survive.

Oohh ok I will thanks for the advice!

Yeah I've been on German and French websites too.

No you didn't, admit it! I think we all did that at least once, maybe not with cichlids, but otherwise...

So, I have been obsessing about owning a pair betta smaragdina for the past 5 or 6 months, I have researched and found out everything I possibly could have about them and I was extremely hyped. I have a fishtank in my bedroom all set up and going for them since before the holidays, it is planted...

I watch this guy, ans i do indeed recommend for you to start by raising a duck from an egg. I did that with my beautiful Graygray (RIP) and she was a lovely duck.

I love beech trees, I find that a huge old tree with small leaves is beautiful, and they just seem so majestic. I also use their leaves for my blackwater tank, as they take a while to decay and are great for tannins.

Ooo I am very curious about how this tank will turn out in the end, I'm sure it will look really.good!

He's gorgeous! I love betta smaragdina, they are the most beautiful betta in my opinion

I have found a seller on eBay who sells fish, and they are selling a lovely pair of betta smaragdina, would anyone be familiar with a seller named "micropoecilia" on eBay? They say they are from Glasgow and ship to Ireland but I want to fully ensure that they are trustworthy, all their reviews...
