I have 3 Bettas. My sisters have a Berta and a goldfish. My brother has a tank with 3 ember tetras and 2 mystery snails.

Cool

Got a new betta! I haven't named him yet, but I'm considering Taki.

I currently have a five gallon and a 5.5 gallon freshwater planted tanks. They are in infancy so nowhere near I hope to grow them to. I had aquariums as a kid for years, older I dabbled in salt as well. Salt is too much work for me, and I love the soft touches of live plants. I had a two gallon fluval spec for over a decade and gifted it to my mom, haven’t had any tanks for a couple years and then I went to petsmart. And they had a sale. I got sucked back in, and I have a betta, ghost shrimp and a dwarf crayfish in the five. The other one was also petsmart fault, I mean I couldn’t bypass a new tank for $12. It has some ghost shrimp and another dwarf crayfish (they were hitchhiking in my shrimp order) no fish yet and sparsely planted with a couple patches of dwarf hair grass. I have an impending order of more plants and hardscape. But I do love them and they are such a manageable size, I can literally dump them out into my sink and fill them back up the same way.

Of course the impulsive addict in me wants to get an extra large tank and stock it with schooling fish and other community members.

I like Red Cherry shrimp. Once when I bought some a ghost shrimp hitchiked, so I let it stay. For a day. It killed the Red Cherry shrimp. Don't mix them.

The ghost shrimp are mostly just entertaining feeders, my betta eventually eats them all but it takes a little while. I’d never put shrimp in with him that I’d actually want to keep, but I didn’t know ghost shrimp preyed on other shrimp.

Neither did I, and the pet store employee was surprised as well.
