Nice! I've never had the best luck with plants. I have a java fern that's been going for about four years now and that's about the longest-lived plant I've had.

The baby betta I named Big Chonk is so big now it actually looks like a proper betta! About 3/4 of an inch long, which doesn't sound like much but considering they start at like 2-3 millimeters long it's quite an improvement! It absolutely loves waiting for food to be dropped so it can zoom around like an upside-down vacuum and suck it all off the surface . Little Chonk, however, is not doing great and I don't know why. I've gotten it isolated in a floating 'breeding box' to see if I can get some weight on it but I'm not terribly hopeful. Such a shame.

Weirdly enough the three tiny babies that survived velvet in the other tank appear to all be doing quite well.

I thought they were all going to die at first cause they looked very questionable and they had been in the box like a month but they all appear to be coming back!!! Didn’t really do anything special. Just planted them lol but I do have this special substrate stuff for planted aquariums so maybe that’s why but I also just have a natural green thumb haha don’t know why. Vegetables too.

Awww he sounds like a real character!!! sorry about the other one though.

Hope he pulls through.

And oh wow that is weird but also awesome!!!

My other tank is looking so empty and I really want to go get another betta or some guppies or something for it but I also know I probably shouldn’t go out just to get a fish haha

Those plants are amazing. I thought sure they were dead. I have mine in regular gravel . They are doing ok.

It’s okay!! Glad you found it again.

And right!? I thought for sure they were dead too!! No way they would come back but now here they are.

This is the stuff I have in mine but I got mine at Petco.

Oh no that really does stink.

I’m sure regular gravel is fine though.

Oooo....a fish thread I’m big into fish keeping
I’ll be having fun reading through here.

These are a few of my tanks.
This is my fin baby, Oliver’s tank. Hes

This tank is currently a Blackwater tank.

This next one needs an overhaul done. I really hate how it looks.

Love the pond what kinds of fish do you have in it, if any? Goldfish? Koi? I’m hoping to build mine a pond soon.
