Yep, that's the one. You've got some of my all-time favorites there!
If you'd live nearby, you could've gotten those assassin snails for free. Got loads of them...
That's a pity cos the snail population is becoming an issue since using floating plants, real ones. Its one of the reasons why I prefer using artificial planting tbh. But the little hooligans enjoy themselves under the floaters and so far no companies have managed to make artificial lightweight floating plants yet
I know how annoying it can be to have so much snails in the tank. That's why I started keeping those assassin snails for years ago.
I think I have caught the pest snail issue early enough that two Assassins in each aquarium will handle it.....the number of pests isn't huge but they are very visible, so nipping it in the bud cos years ago I had one aquarium with all live plants and I had kept those plants in lightly salted water for 3 weeks prior to planting yet they still produced so many snails that it was hard to see past them on the glass. Squished loads of them then, the Cories loved their fresh meat breakfast but this time around I want to avoid that if at all possible.
what's that? a trade name for a wild betta l think, but which species?
As far as I know it’s just a specific betta splendens color/marking/tail type
Yeah, it's betta splendens.
