It was a bit of a shock, out of the 22 babies I counted I saved 12 (my catfish thought they where super yummy!) they are all healthy and happy babies (nearly 2 months old now)

This drives me crazy. I bought $60 worth of plants and $45 of them are house plants. I also received about 300 free snails much to my horror!!!

I have a juwels 180 vision which has some baby Molly’s in it for now (it will be a discus tank in the future) baby Molly’s will be sold or given away. It currently has the original filtration system in it which ideally I would like to update in the future as the big box takes up room in the...

I may put sand down then which was any original plan Colin_T I’m assuming you keep discus? How many feedings a day for a adult and how many for a juvie? I was going to get older discus, but like you said the happiest fish are busier and my discus certainly will not be shut in a dark room, so...

Deanasue I don’t actually Mind mine bare (I thought I’d hate it) and was originally going to put sand down. I could imagine your nursery tanks to get quite messy with so many fish!

Ok, I’ll work on the piece of wood. The shop I got if from keep discus and said it would be great for my tank, but I realise there is lots of mis-information out there. No, I will have a bare bottom tank as I have read a lot about it being easier to keep with discus as they are messy eaters...

Thank you for the welcome. Happy wife happy life help...as my husband has learned with me that my animals have to be happy!!! I’m the crazy lady that does U turns while driving to check if a bird has been hit on the side of the road and have random dogs and cats litter lay sitting at our front...

Some photos of my tank

The wonderful world of fish keeping! So much to learn!!! Thank you to all your posts tht I have read and will read, and any advice given along my fish keeping journey.

Platy and balloon molly, I had a molly who was awesome as she swam all over the tank, and when she died of old age I got a balloon molly. We have baby balloon Molly’s now (I didn’t know she was pregnant-just thought that was her balloon tummy!) and they are very friendly and full of personality...

Would just stick to one betta, as suggested above. tank is to small for anything else.

What sort of wood is that? I have read that some of them produce a white growth and then it disapears after a few weeks. Did you Pre-soak your wood for 10 or so days before adding it your tank? Or did you by a aquatic plant already attached?

Definitely looks like a Oscar. Looks like Colin_T has some great advice, as he said they do get big so keep that in mind with your tank size. Happy fish keeping!
