Nin's Tanks

[Ninjouzata]

Both the pics and tanks look great.  Nice work.

Thank you very much!

 
The 29g is almost done cycling..actually I think it would be done if it weren't for the pH dropping.
It gets to .50 ammonia .50 nitrites in 24 hours. Here it is with the fake plants added.

 
Very excited to finally have these guys (well guy and gal)..betta ocellatas from WildBetta. Thanks a bunch, you're the best

I also got some baby yellow rabbit snails from her.
 
Male

 

 

 
Not sure if this is the male or female actually ><

Great pics ninj
 
Why fake plants in the 29g?
Are goldies going in there?
 
But looking good, and agree think you would be done cycling if were not for the ph level dropping quite low, you'll get there

Yes the goldies are going in the 29g, and the fake plants are there for if/when they eat the live plants.
I'll keep putting live plants in there when I can but the fake plants are there to make sure if they're gone there will still be some green ^^
 
Patience I guess.. c:

All bettas look grumpy I think
 
I hope these ones will do well even though I have soft water, sorry you havn't been able to keep them. Maybe you don't have any algae because of your nerites?

Still not happy with my snail tank, looks bare, I shall prevail though, just wish the plants would hurry up and grow! Well done Ninj, fab, fab,fab xx

Awww thank you so much Jayne! I'm really glad you like them. I love the dragons too, hehe. Hopefully your idea works
 
Your snail tank should look great once the plants start growing in! I'm not sure if I've seen it yet though? If I have then I apologize, I tend to forget easily. >.<

Hope the link works lol. Plants have grown a small amount since this was taken a few weeks ago x

I think it's a cute tank, especially like the vase and the orange stones. I think I do remember seeing it though..cause..I think I said to get a background

So.. I think I've told some of ya'll about Discord (betta in my profile pic) getting pineconed when he was in the 20 long, possibly from gorging himself on the cories & snails food.
I was able to treat him with epsom salt and then moved him to his own 10g. Recently the pineconing came back and even with clean warm water and epsom salt it was not going away.
 
I just found him a little while ago, passed away. 
 

Discord, you're the most beautiful betta I've ever seen and I think you always will be. I love you and will miss you very much but am so glad you don't have to suffer anymore.

Aw 

 
 

Discord
 
RIP little man
 
 
You gave him the very best and I'll bet he enjoyed your tank

Nice of you to say, thanks Ch4rlie
 

Sorry for your loss Ninjou.

Thanks, I'm sort of glad because I hated seeing him the way he was, pineconed and always on the bottom and barely reacting to me or even food. He's not suffering anymore
 

My condolences....

Thank you AP

Well, we needed to get some frozen food yesterday so stopped by PetCo & PetSmart. Of course I had to look at the bettas, I always do.
Out of the two we go to I prefer PetCo for their bettas as they are displayed better and usually the ones at PetSmart have some medication added to them and it makes it dark blue and difficult to see them.
 
I figured I may be bringing one home today and I was thinking of an orange/blue because my fiance Jacob seems to like that color combination, or an elephant ear because my dad likes them.
No orange/blue..after looking at every betta it seemed, I looked at the bottom of the display and saw a flash of purple and then the 'elephant ear' sticker, the only one and my favorite color is purple!
 
I picked him up and he was very active and grumpy and gorgeous. My dad walked up then and took a look..he liked him too (ofcourse).

I set him back into the display and stood around.
Dad ended up asking if I want him and I said that I would love him but he is the most expensive type that they sell. He told me to get him and it turned out they were on sale

Yay!
 
So...now he's home with us. We did a 100% water change and I got him drip acclimating.
After a while I picked him up and put him in the tank and he swam around flailing his "ears" quite a lot, seeming to have trouble staying in one spot.
 
I cut some filter media and stuck it between the filter outlet and the lid of the tank. It seemed to work as after that he started going all over the place.
 
Of course I got some pics and a video

Sorry for the novel on just purchasing a fish and getting him settled in.

 

 

 

 
DERP FACE

 
You can see the blue on his lip

 

 

 
His ventral fins are curly, can sort of see them in this pic.
