Is my dwarf bloated?

Noticed the tummy coloring is slightly more pronounced today, could this be a sign of bloating?

Low altitude fanning

I run a high flow waterfall filter on one side and a wave maker on the other for plenty of 360 filtration. I guess she's happy where she is lmao? I've never seen a bamboo filter from the ground before

Gourami behavior

Hello, this is my first post on this sub. I got a female dwarf yesterday and she's been very lovely. She actively swims, inspects things with her fins, and likes to investigate the floating plants. She's in a 20gal tank with 0 nitrite, 0 ammonia, ph of 7.5ish, and nitrates of 0-<5.0.

I noticed sometimes she'll curve her body and wiggle, and out of curiosity, I googled this. It says that curling means severe illness, but I don't see her exhibiting lethargy, stress, or any real sick symptoms? She'll wiggle for like, a few seconds and then continue about her day. Is this normal behavior for gourami? I know they have individual personalities, but i want to make sure this isn't an illness. Thanks!

Finally set up my 20 gallon!

Plants came in today and they've finally been placed! So excited to get this primed so I can finally stock it with critters! I've been thinking about using co2 for the first time, how large of a canister should I get for a 20gal high?

her biblical greed manifest

every once in a while the spirit of sin incarnates in my snail and drives her like a fungal-infected ant to the filter of my tank for an all-day goopy feast

[FS] - Rialto, CA - $5+ - Ostracods

Tons of ostracods in my shrimp/guppy mix tank at the moment, looking to reduce the population by selling.

For 2 cups of water in a quart sized bag - 5$

For 4 cups of water (half the bag) - 10$

Ostracods will be bagged the day of pick up to ensure fewest casualties and increase time for breeding. Obviously cannot guarantee the amount of ostracods per bag due to their size, but i will provide plenty for a culture!

Willing to drive 15 miles MAX for pickup but meeting halfway is preferred. Please inform ahead of time what time and date you'll be available to receive, and if any changes occur. My preferred hours for meeting begin at 6pm, but negotiation is okay. Cash only unless absolutely impossible. Offer is not time sensitive.

Cory health

To start, I want to say I've had this dude since I first got my tank, which was in January. He was one of the first fish I got, and is the oldest critter in my tank next to my snail. When I first got him and his school partners, I noticed his eyes were lumpy like this and entirely clouded over. I figured he was entirely blind, and he is, but he's never exhibited concerning health symptoms. He eats perfectly well, swims as he should, and goes up for air like a normal cory. I guess it's a bit pointless at this stage to make this post, but i wanted to check in about his eyes. Thanks!
