Fish Thread

I just found this thread, but I have two bettas both in 10 gallon planted tanks. My plakat can only have a nerite snail tankmate and he has murdered a few shrimp and harassed my bamboo shrimp. My super delta koi is also kinda mean but my nano tank’s cycle crashed and I had to move my last surviving Bloody Mary shrimp into his tank. I also moved my bamboo shrimp into his tank.
My first boy is a plakat and I had vowed to never get a long tailed betta… but I saw a absolutely stunning super delta koi at my local fish store and I couldn’t say no to adding him into my new tank. I am a new fish keeper and my aquascaping isn’t the best but I’m trying.

You're doing an amazing job! Beautiful fish!

OK here's what I've come up with this past day. 1. The kid's party aquarium: 5 male endlers (or guppies), and potentially some shrimp at the bottom. 2. The sky aquarium: mostly clown killifish, maybe some shrimp at the bottom (although I expect most of the shrimplets to be eaten). 3. The office/chill hangout aquarium: chili rasbora with shrimp at the bottom. 4. The elders aquarium: Pair of sparkling gourami (might be too small)

He's a fat boy

I think it's a girl, I refer to her as "Big Bertha"!

Fitting name. I love funny names

I think they're really cool. I love my two nerites, so I've never gotten them. But they do breed a lot

I have Nerite snails, too. They do a great job AND don't breed!

Exactly. Some people are bothered by their white eggs. Mine are weird and lay them directly on their shells. So no problem

The only downside for me is having to buy more after a year or so.

I've had mine for almost three years now. What varieties do you get?

I've gotten the zebra/striped and the spotted types, but the olive variety is a couple years old.
