It's Just a Tank

[Goaway]

Im really expecting this booger to be extra splotted in a few months growth. We'll see.


Morning pics its nixe seeing Eli hanging outside of her tunnel. Under 150 iso, 1/15 speed.

I thought thus guy was dead in the cup at petsmart. All I saw was his tail and he was on his side. I told my husband "look dead betta". And he instantly went from dead fish to asking for food.


His happy colors. And swimming to the camera






I dont buy bettas because so many die in those cups. I just couldnt let him sit there.

Time to scrape plastic... somehow

He's pretty, but he's looking a little skinny for sure.

any food advice? I fed him 3 times already some flake. He's a super slow eater. And he is skinny.

If it's of any help, he's pretty active swimmer. Mollies are terrified of him. He's already claimed the tank as his.

But, getting him back into proper weight is still ideal.

Mine eat flakes for the most part. I have one that prefers the LiveAquaria brine soft pellets. They make Betta flakes and Betta pellets as well. Bug Bites or something like that.

Lots of them start out skinny.

I decided to let him try seafood slushy..

A mix of tdo pellets, clam, shrimp, mussel, and the molly fish went nuts and so did he.. But, I wonder if it's too salty of a mix? I don't add salt water. Just the flesh

He's sure pretty!

Out of a hundred people I talk to or respond to on here.

There is always that one guy who wants to be hysterical.

I bring you ginger of impending doom and destruction!
And a motled one... ignore the overly harassed goni. Shes getting better.



Froggy needs a better home, by better.. better location.

One half of the csb. The other is in a


Ive read that long tents means asking for more light. 150 currently

Late night pics, husband's watching netflix wrestling and cmpunk is boring so... heres some dull photos.
Going to trim ginger from encroaching my blastos. They're sweet and never hurt anyone.

Plates looking brighter

Pectinia... i wonder if my hairy mushroom will hurt the pectinia if she gets close enough. And monti caps are monsters... its surrounded by space invader, hairy mushroom thing and a ginger....

So a very long lenghty conversation.

If you have surface scum and a difficult rime getting rid of it.

Saltwater mollies actually skim the water surface. I'll try to get a video next time it happens.

Benepets, the goniopora love it. After 3 weeks has decided to extend again. I kept target feeding, smothering. Every other day




Went from orange to silver and is regaining color



This piece shows signs of when fed the benepets.
I'll do a before and after next feeding

Im not sure about this one. May need to evict ginger.

Needs moved fish keep finning it.

Love the colors, placed where she can encrust.

Sps
Healing over cuts. Once done. I'll finish trimmimg.


Ahhh.. encrusting base

I love the blue skin. Her polyps lost color once my phosphates went over .25
I'll figure it out or let it be.

Csb


I think the split caused chemical issues as coral had shown signs of irritation. Now that it appears both halves are healling well. The blastos and one meaty are looking much better. So where is the csb?


Clownfish 5 years with come august. Husband says 6. I dont remember no more only august...


Algae eater. Surface skimmer, sand surface cleaner.


I dont know if i missed any details...

Part 2
Freshwater
The betta fins being translucent, which I absolutely love the painted look. The colors very rich.
This could be caused by a poor diet. We all know how petstores treat bettas in a cup.
If the fins color in. I'm ok with it. He looks like a japanese koi painting to me. That makes my asian side happy.

Young Bettas sometimes have translucent fins that eventually turn to a very pale blue. I had one that the whole Betta was almost transparent and eventually his body turned white and his fins were a very light baby blue. Beautiful fish!

I can't find any grown up pictures of him.

I love the splattered paint look on the Betta!

We only ever kept 1 betta when I was young. I don't recall how long we kept him. But, my mom loved that fish and my bother fed it to his jack dempsey. So my guess is less than 1 year.

in response to the event. My mom did something to jack and replaced him with 20 fancy fin guppies. I was 5-6 years old.

But, i will enjoy keeping another. He is hardly over an inch. So, he is still young.

I can't find any grown up pictures of him.

That's a keeper in my book! I dunno what's wrong with me.

I was shocked honestly. I thought he was black and white, and dead. The moment I let him out of the cup into the molly tank. His color changed that fast. And he was swimming free all over the plants and air bubblers.

I almost picked up two more females and a male baby the other day at Petco... A Double Tail female with beautiful color, a female koi like yours, and a deep blue almost black crowntail male.

Once the 110 is working properly (it's a swamp right now... Looks like phytoplankton) I'm going to have a harem of females and then 2 or 3 males in Acclimation boxes. For now, I have 3 little ta ks set up so I'm pretty much at my limit.
