new year, slightly new look for the 20gal :-)

old version and some notes under the readmore

i haven't been able to do anything other than water changes and top-offs with this tank since august, when i moved it back to my parents' place, so this was long overdue!

the plants had all uprooted and gathered at the left side of the tank. i replanted them and added 3 java ferns + a new small piece of driftwood.

unfortunately, mango (honey gourami) passed away in november. the tank feels empty without him... opal (betta fish) is also starting to slow down. she's around 2 years old now, so that's not a surprise, but it's still a bummer :/

my long-term goal is to reduce the stock in the tank and convert it to a setup with only shrimp and very small fish like the harlequin rasboras. maybe a pair of sparkling gouramis, too.. something simple.

fish? fish?? show us fish please fish please show show fish??

here he is!!! frizz!!!! one of the spiciest bettas ive ever had (most ones i get happen to be pretty mellow) and i love him so much. he’s had some fin problems the last couple weeks (you can see the end of his tail is a bit ripped) but he’s healing up nicely. i love his colors, i see ones like him so uncommonly.. and if you look at him in the first image, you can see how his pelvic fins are always crossed over one another! i think it’s cute.

#i love tankkeeping. i have 3 tanks rn! frizz's 10gal here #my invert only 20gal #and a 20gal currently only occupied by a couple snails #but i'm gonna get somethin else for it eventually! im thinking maybe lil tetras and cories... #i need to wahs up the water stains on the front of his tank huh asdxsfsds #HES NOT USUALLY THIS PHOTOGENIC its amazing that i got that second picture afdsxs #he knew you wanted to see him! he was showing off!

If u fr have a axolotl can I see a pic of them :D

I don't take pictures that often so I had to scour through my phone camera, but here's Benrey, in all his silly glory.

When he goes outside of his little hideout cave, he loves hanging out either on top of his tank plants or on top of his hideout.

And here's some more of shoots with him

#he has a 80L/20gal tank #I need to buy a bigger one for him because that's the MINIMUM REQUIREMENT for axolotls #but I'm not too much in a hurry because the nitrogen cycle in his tank is stable #I also have a 40L/10gal betta tank #and a 300L/~80gal community tank #atp the nitrogen cycles in those tanks are so stable that I really only need to top off any evaporated water ever month or so #also fun fact about benrey: the only reason I have him is because of a divorce #I remember looking for local axolotl listings at the time and I couldn't find any in my city as axolotls are pretty rare here #and then one random october afternoon on my way back to school my senses go off and I'm just like #''I need to check skelbiu.lt'' and lo and behold. a single axolotl listing in my area for 20€ #the axolotl was being kept in a plastic tub so the situation was seemingly dire #so my dad set up the meeting (because I was and am too much of a pussy to make calls) #and we met up by this gas station which was by a highway #so I ask the guy ''hey why are you selling this axolotl? they seem pretty rare around here'' #and he said ''oh I had a divorce and my wife took the aquarium in it. she didn't take him though'' #so yeah this axolotl with a prepetual old traumatized guy face is here because someone's wife took the aquarium in the divorce #I got the 300L community tank through similar means btw #If you want pictures of my other aquatic critters feel free to ask #jūr.txt #jūr.png

I want a something like a fish in a fishbowl experience without the cruelty that is a fish in a fishbowl is.

#ghost posts #fish in a fishbowl is relaxing to look at until you learn ™ #I feel so bad for the betta fish we had when I was 9 we know better now #we had a 20gal aquarium later for neon tetras #and some corydoras #but the betta fish was first w my cousins old fishbowl #it makes me feel kinda sick now remembering it #like bettas are smart and need room to swim and play #not with other fish tho like they need fish sudoku or smth #super cruel to do to a fish like imagine being stuck in your room #with no entertainment and also they’ve turned off the air circulation #and they give you a bucket to go in that starts to stink to keep in it #this is an anti fish cruelty and anti fishbowl blog

honestly having fish tanks has given me such unrealistic expectations for the weight capacity of most furniture

#toy txt post #plant stand with a weight limit of 50lbs? for over $200? are you insane? i can get a fish tank stand about the same size for less than that #slap some fucking LED growlights on it #and ive half a mind to #why shouldnt i? at least i know that bitch will hold a heavy plant #ftr this made shopping for a dresser. INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT #Its not even that im GOING to put a fish tank on there its just like. god i should have the OPTION at least. for like a 20gal. #if it cant hold a 20gal then what is the Fucking Point? #and u want me to spend $300+ for that flimsy shit? #i ended up getting a free to good home old ass dresser that i stripped all the paint off of and repainted. it looks incredible #i must have posted it at some point? maybe not #id take pics but even tho it itself looks great it is currently Covered in clutter 😬 so gonna wait on that srry

after getting used to the platies spangle just like ignores them mostly. at first he's like ah fuck this shit but now he's fine. this is fine.

#i feel like popular culture has exaggerated how aggressive bettas are #i swear every time i go to a pet store and mention im creating a community tank around a betta ppl are like #oh but he might kill them!! #not if i house them in a 20gal with no other bettas or male guppies he won't. not really. #hell bettas don't even fight each other with the aim to kill #they just fight until one gives up and leaves #yes even in captive betta fights #spangle is also just a very chill dude #i heard that blue bettas tend to be more aggressive but he's quite chill #hades.txt

just got authorized to put a shrimp tank in the science building lab. im so excited

#txt #college stuff #going to study shrimp behaviors. project for my animal behavior class #not 100% certain abt how it's gonna go tho bc i need to get things set up ASAP and it's a little hard to find neo shrimp around here #might have to settle for ghost/glass shrimp or a different animal entirely :/ #if i can get neos though my sneaky secret plan is to take them all home and put them in my 20gal at the end of the year. unlimited shrimp #by that time i'll have it even more heavily planted so i won't have to worry abt any fish-shrimp predation 👍 #also completely unrelated but i'm going to do research on spotted salamanders this semester as well :D

btw heres the 2.5 gal snail tank i had set up for my mom last year that she never took care of and its just a giant mass of guppy grass now

#fishblr #im going to take a portion of the guppy grass for my 20gal bc the ones in there didnt handle the transfer well #im not sad abt the snails in there tbh bc they were hitchhikers from plants i dont want any ramshorns #<- not sad my mom has never taken care of it

keep my grandpa's betta in your thoughts. despite being a man who likes science and takes meticulous care of his plants, he's also stubborn and won't change how he keeps his fish. he has a stagnant unheated 29-gallon in his basement with a single betta. i saw it yesterday and it floats sideways at the top and hardly moves.

today I'm gonna bring a spare filter, (with a cycyled biowheel from one of my filters) decorations, and unchlorinated water from my house, but i only have a tiny spare heater idk if it'll work. if i just do it myself he'll probably let me, i just hope I'm not too late.

#g postin #I've considered stealing the betta cuz i have a spare 20gal but then papa will just buy another fish :[ #his goldies already died. really bummed especially about the calico

[viillanelles]

just spent $100 on setting up a sick tank for a goldfish I didn’t plan on having lmao

#he’s going in the empty 20gal I have sitting around #he’s a lil baby #he’s MY lil baby now
