I last posted in August after recently doing the forum introducing you all to my first tank ever and my betta sorority: Link After some advice and research I made some changes and entered the Tank of the Month: Link It's been several months since I posted so I'd like to give you an update on...

So I have some cardinal tetras in and among st my betta sorority. I have noticed that one of the female tetras seems to be swimming erratically. It maintains a 30 degree angle (headfirst) and kinda swims by pulsates up and down the tank. None of my others are exhibiting this behavior, and swim...

Welcome to the forum! I've found everyone here really helpful and freindly! Love the pics!

Congratulations to the winners! There were some really cool tanks too look at across all the entries! @Wells I love how natural and realistic your tank looked, your fish have quite a fancy home! You've inspired me to improve my tank! Well deserved win!
