Some people have advised me against Java moss due to algae problems. Do you know what you think? What do you think about hiding places for shrimp (if the betta allows it, I wouldn't mind in the future)? And what about burrows under the sand?

Betta, japonica, corydoras

Last night I was looking for caves on various specialized sites, as well as commercial ones like Amazon, Temu, etc. The problem is that I hate anything that's obviously artificial and I'd be looking for something that feels "natural." Besides building one out of rocks (I'm a little worried about...

I work with dogs. The problem with pitbulls is that their breeding is underestimated. It's true that they are bred initially for fighting with bulls and then with dogs, but this very thing leads to enormous predation and, above all, gameness. In other words, they've been bred to turn off their...

so they could go well with a betta instead of the Japonica?

A few questions about shrimp: - But are there only Japonica shrimp, a medium-sized, non-aggressive shrimp that can be kept with Bettas? Are there only wild, neutral-colored Japonica shrimp? - I saw a lot of small shrimp in a store with half red and half white bodies. Are they neocaridines? I...

I'm still looking for new ideas for my 54-liter tank, but I think I'll end up with a male Halfmoon betta, two Japonicas, and some type of Corydoras. What do you think about the Venezuelan?

I've only recently become interested in reptiles, and most, if not all, breeders keep them without any thought for their psychological or ethical well-being, only their physical well-being, because reptiles don't feel emotions. For me, this is an impossible concept to accept. Furthermore, in the...

Congratulations, very nice! In Italy in summer the temperatures can reach up to 35 degrees, at home it is much cooler but still around 25 degrees, in some rooms in our presence I have the air conditioning on. I am a bit afraid of that for species like some killi fish Speaking of streams, I...

Have you ever thought of adding a central fish? My idea was precisely an opercularis (paradise fish)

Does anyone have small, medium or large cold water aquariums? Among the various cold water fish that are not huge pond fish, the ones I love are these: Ciprinella lutrensis Chlamydogoblus eremius (Desert goby) Empire gudgeon Tanichthys albonubes (White cloud minnows) in its original and gold...

Can I make a stupid observation? (When you can't stand my questions anymore, say stop) In aquarium shops we clearly only find fish in their initial growth size. I never see fish in their final size. In my opinion, this is also the problem why so many people ignorantly buy goldfish, because they...

But wouldn't they suffer alone? And would you put two males or two females? In the case of a couple I would have the problem perhaps of the number of newborns. Another question: are they interactive with you or outside the tank? Would you keep them alone without for example japonica or corydoras?

I can make a reference to dogs even if they are warm-blooded. Dogs that do not work and live pampered, perhaps as only children in the house, are dogs that often make a fuss about food or on the contrary, think only about food. Dogs that work and in which part or all of the food ration is used...

I have been 50 kg for a lifetime but the third covid vaccine brought me inexplicable heart problems and I gained 10 kg and I had to go to nutritionists. Before I ate like a pig without any problems sigh. Nutritionists suggest doing the exact opposite, that is, having a light breakfast, a snack...
