LUK ITS A FUZBALL
I have three bettas, all in 2.5 gallons tanks. They have no substrate and a fake plant or two tossed in. It looks so boring. Now, I have 2 10 gallons tanks, one with 2 platies (one mature, the other born in May of '06, they don't reproduce, or I don't see the babies) and the other with three corydoras (the fourth always dies. They're peppered.) I also have a 55 gallon tank, uncycled and unstocked. I was hoping to cycle it when we moved into our new house, but that might not be for a few months, I just didn't want to risk having everything die. I need something to spruce up the bettas tanks. I really, really cannot afford new live plants, substrate, etc, so is there a cheap way of making it pretty? I was thinking of moving the corydoras and platies together, and dividing a 10g three ways. But one tank, for the platies, is live plants/old eco complete, and the other is sand, which the corydoras prefer, and I don't want to ruin the ecosystems. Any ideas?
I'm still miffed my $60 pair of bettas died. Hmph! (The story: MG HM high-quality bettas, conditioned, prepared to breed. While the male was in the 10 gallon tank, he got suddenly extremely lethargic (water was fine!) and died not an hour later. I had everything ready. that was discouraging, since it was the second time it happened, and the exact same thing happened with the first.) And now I'm left with a 55 gallon growout tank and not enough money to spend on actual fish. It sucks when you have everything you need but your fish don't get along or die.
