Fish Crazy
I was gifted a tiny little crypto which I put in my mom's stupid little 1.5 gallon tank with her betta until my second tank cycled. (I told her it wouldn't work. She wouldn't listen. Got the betta and tiny tank. Took six months before she admitted it wasn't working. I had to scramble to put together a brand new tank. In the end I wound up euthanizing the poor guy.) But for some reason I never emptied the 1.5 gallon. It was dark with tannins. I had put catapa leaves in with him in hopes the tannins would help. I went to finally empty it yesterday, maybe a month or more later, and realized it still had the crypto in it and it was alive. No light... and alive. After dumping the water I realized it had essentially split into three tiny plants from the original one tiny plant. I had some spare, unused gravel so rinsed it and put it in a clean 1.5, filled it with distilled (adding some minerals to it... just a tiny bit) and added a drop of liquid ammonia for food. I need to check the ammonia levels today. *note to self*
Reading on cryptos they usually need a tab to help with food. What's the best thing to get to help these little guys? I appreciate the help.
