woohoo! to my surprise I finally found some live plants at Petco (yes I hate the employees there, one lady was so rude to me today I had to hold myself back with all my might to not lash out at her) and was going to pick up another albino cory but they just had their new shipment in and they were still floating in bags..so I decided to buy 3 cute little mollies. I debated for a while because they are going in with my betta..and I dont like bettas in community tanks, but thought id give it a try and watch them closely..if it doesnt work out I have a backup tank for my betta (so far Pinky my betta has no idea what the hell these creatures are that just inhabited his tank and wants nothing to do with them except stare once in a while)

I got a black molly, a gold dusted mollie, and I cant remember what the orange one is called..but they love to swim in a group and are so fast! here are some pics I just took. I couldnt wait until they settled down and took them fast, so sorry about the poor quality.

**Please do not flame me for putting them in with my betta, Ive had bettas for a while now and know alot about them and their agression and needs, Pinky has a very docile personality and they all seem to get along so far**

the 3 new guys (or gals) btw how can you tell if they are male or female?

whole tank shot

better pic of plants, im guessing they are java moss and java fern?

Hi there, nice tank and a gorgeous betta.

The black molly is a female the others I can't tell from the picture - try my article in the livebearers forum and you can ID them yourself. I'm not an expert on plants but that is not java moss you have there.

Awww, that is a lovely Betta you have there, nice colours, and goes well with the colouring of the tank...

The black molly is female and she looks pregnant to me!!!!!!

Your plants are hornwort (at the top), and what looks like maybe a melon sword
