Is betta water really a thing? I've seen it in stores

Nah. It’s just distilled water. I have spongefilters and small powerheads to operate them. They are quiet and easily hidden.

Before and after of the tank we inherited. Actually, after and even later after, I have none from when we first brought it home. Still a work in progress. The driftwood I ordered wasn't as big a piece as I'd expected, and I'm sure I'll do some more rearranging, but at least the pleco has a little more open space on the bottom in between plants and a better hiding place. I feel like it looks a bit more natural now, which I like.

Very impressive tank you got there. How many gallons is that and what are you putting in it?

Me? Thanks! It was given to us, so I'm not 100% sure on the size, but based off of the calculator I found online for these corner tanks, I believe it to be between 35 and 40 gallons. Guppies and a pleco who's about 5" long came with it (free tank, but you take the fish, too). I'm slowly rehoming the massive amount of guppies, but I'm still feeling like the tank is too small for the pleco. So, we may be upgrading to something a bit bigger for him/her soon

Depends on the type of pleco. Do you know or can you find out which one you have?

ponds all cleaned and topped off! I’m still working on the area a bit because we’re opening the pool today too and I haven’t picked up all the garbage.

Ooh! I have one of those swing chairs too . Don't you just love them? I have two but nobody sits outside with me so I use the other one to prop my feet on

Thanks! Here’s some additional pics from last weekend that kinda show my fish. I’ve had the goldfish for 3 years, 2 of the koi for almost 3 years and the other 2 koi for 1-2 years.
