My ~15 gallon fish tank project

[BettaFishGirl]

I like the tank! Will that be the only stocking for the Betta tank?

i might try some neon tetras and if things go south, i'll move them to the other tank. i do plan to make that an Amazonian themed one

 

[BettaFishGirl]

Please please do not put neon tetras with your Betta. They ripped and bit my bettas fins apart, and then killed him. Even if you think everything's fine, they could hurt your Betta in the blink of an eye. I'd just put them in the other tank and not try anything with the Betta.

If the otos survive until monday, i'll get 4 more. Up until now they seem to do very well. They are not afraid of me and swim all over the tank cleaning stuff. And are very cute.

Captain America sure love his floating plants ring. He's being busy making a nest there.

ok, call me a weirdo but i like how that green algae looks. It gives a very natural look IMO

 

[Mr_Harrys]

So i guess this project is done. time to start the next one.

 

[BettaFishGirl]

That looks so nice!

 

[Mr_Harrys]

Did a rescape, remove some wood, rearrange some other wood pieces, trimmed the plants and also bought some more cabomba and myriophyllum, added some Vallisneria Spiralis and a small and cute Pilea cadierei. I think this one primary grows outside of the water, but for 3$ i gave it a try.

Fun fact now i'm very good at planting with tweezers. What i was doing wrong at first: i was afraid that if i grab the plant too hard I'll harm it. Now i just give them a good grab and voila, easy planting.

One thing I see is Cories should be in groups of 10+ and need to have soft sand as a substrate

Soft sand substrate is a must for Cory’s if you don’t want them to scrape up there mouth
