My boy Eddy has been doing really well and he’s swimming around and eating normally but I just noticed he has this red mark on the bottom of his tail? And it looks like the same type of red mark on his face 😞 I have looked all over his tank to see if there is anything sharp but there really isn’t. Does it look like an injury? What should I do to help it?

His only tank mate is one ramshorn snail. I did a partial water change earlier and it wasn’t there. The ammonia is a tiny bit high I think? Posted a pic of liquid test results of ammonia and PH. I used prime and stability and the tank is 10 gallons + fully planted. He’s got a filter and heater. Current temp is 78. Our power was out for 24 hours yesterday idk if it could be stress related? I have tannins in the tank.

It’s a 10 gallon. I just put some rotala + added lots of pennywort on top + a magnolia leaf. It’s definitely a work in progress. There is a window about 5 feet to the right. I’d love ideas on what you guys would add if this were your tank! I really like a more chaotic jungly type of vibe and less of a formal/clean look if that makes sense. I have tons more plants I’d like to add but I’m unsure where to put them and that’s where I need your help!

All the buce I attached to the wood was eaten off by my snails so it must’ve been melting 😭😭😭 I’m open to any ideas of a diff type of layout with what I have too!

Random list of plants I have that I would like to add somehow:
Philodendron
Guppy grass
Red leaf floaters
Water lettuce
Moneywort
More rotala
Java moss
Pennywort
1 red tiger lotus
Eelgrass

Gimme all ur ideas!!!! I’m not new to plants but I AM new to aquatic plants + fishkeeping so please be nice I’m sensitive 😂

Bonus pic of my baby boy Edward Cullen. These are the scales of a killer, betta….

And does anyone happen to know which type of rotala it is? I didn’t plant them deeply at all I mostly just weighed them down with some substrate.

Just wanted to share my sweet boy eddy 🤍 from a tiny cup to a 10 gallon tank - he’s doing SO well. He’s so playful and curious and his fav thing to do is stare at me 😂 first 2 pictures are from the day I got him…

Edward Cullen the day I brought him home vs today in his 10 gallon tank! He’s starting to change colors!! 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Hiii! I just got this brownie purple buce for my new 10 gall betta tank. I put some on a piece of oak wood I have in the tank, and I just looked this morning and my ramshorn snails ATE HALF OF IT 😭 none of it was rotting or anything. I didn’t know ramshorn snails ate plants that weren’t rotting or dying?! Helppppppp!

They are completely smooth and not sharp whatsoever. They didn’t even snag panty hose when I tested. Do you guys think I could incorporate these into my 10 gallon? I’m making a DIY kind of “bridge” with river stones and I’d love to include some river glass too!

No I haven’t cleaned anything with soap! and no it’s not a bubble nest! Literally out of nowhere the filter started doing this? I panicked and turned it off and checked the water levels. Levels all normal. Should I turn it back on?! I put some API fin and body cure in the tank early this morning - could it be from that?!

betta hammock? nah. frogbit leaves? nah. oak leaves? nahhhhhhh.

monstera roots? hell yeah

Edward Cullen 🤍

I was hesitant to put this glass skull mason jar in my new bettas tank, but I’m so glad I did 😂 he is obsessed. He’s only been in this tank for a few days and it’s already his favorite spot. I just had to show you guys how cute he is!! The second pic is killing me 😂😂😂

Rescued this little cutie from petsmart today. He’s a platinum betta!! I’m assuming he’s still pretty young? Unsure though. I can already tell he’s gonna have such a great personality!

I would love some name suggestions!!! 🥰🤍

This is Indi!! I put some new frogbit in his tank and I think it’s safe to say he loves it 😂😍

Hi! I have a 5 gallon tank for my betta but for my birthday my aunt just sent me a 2.8 gallon tank that came with a filter and light. I feel guilty telling her I probably can’t use it but figured I’d ask the group first.

Is there ANYthing I can use this little tank for? Coral? Shrimp? Anything? I feel like 2.8 gallons is just so tiny but I also don’t know how to tell my aunt without hurting her feelings - because I’m obviously grateful! I just am not too sure what to do with it.

Any ideas?!
