Yeah it was really find when he started being like half orange and half grey hahahYup, goldfish are born bland and then they color up. I love the phase where they're dark gray/black on top and orange underneath.
Platies are fun fish, and a tank full of them is always colorful and active.
What color was the webbing stuff? Did it look like hair?
Melt is they actually, literally melt. Cryptocorynes are famous for it. And yes, the ones in the plastic tube don't always melt, but it's a growing method that often results in it. Often the plants regrow, but it's awful to watch especially if you don't expect it. Messy, too. Better to start with the plants you have to buy in a bag of water.
Yes, I'd add the cories a couple at a time, and then I'd add the tetras in 3 groups of 4, a week apart.
If there's every anything you want and don't see, ask at the pet store. very often they can order them for you, and honey gouramis are popular and easy enough that they likely will if you ask them too.
I have spring water and it's a little too soft for my inverts, so I put a spoonful of oyster shell (the kind that I have for my chickens) sprinkled through the gravel and a pinch in my old-fashioned box filter. If you are still having trouble, dissolve a teaspoon of baking soda in a gallon of water and add that to the tank. Once, and then test after major water changes or every 3 months.
And yeah there’s so many cool patterns and stuff too for them! like the sunrise and a ton of others. Would they be okay by themselves or? I’m not really sure what else can go in with them or what would work best or whatever.
And I think it was white and kinda hair like, yeah, but I’m not entirely sure. I might have pictures of it. I took some but I might have deleted them. Some of it almost looked like dust on the plants. There might actually be pictures on this thread haha
