Thank you! We're there any items that you wish you'd had?

Hello again everybody! I have quite an extensive shopping list put together already including filters, lights, decor, heaters, substrates, and others. My aim is to do things right this time. When i kept fish a few years ago there were things i did because thats what petsmart told me to do. Not knowing there were better ways. One of the things i did not know was that there were different treatments for things. I knew about ich cures but that was really it. What i want is for everybody to go back to when you were square 1, first fish tank ever. I want to know is what you know now that you wish youd known then. Different medications that maybe exist today but not back then (if it applies of course) or that you wish you had before you needed it. Lay it on me folks.

Thank you. They were all awesome fish. Both the regular bettas were so full of personality. All the plakats were of the marble gene and eventually all ended up either sick or with tumors 😔. I didnt want to but not knowing any better i relieved them of their suffering in the most humane way i could find on google. I already have even before i joined! Im just glad i can be a part of a community where we all share the same passion involving fish tanks and water! Salt, fresh, fish, plants, corals, invertebrates, or all of the above!

Thank you. Unfortunately they all passed within a year of getting them for one reason or another. Ive always enjoyed taking care of animals and with my min pin gone to the rainbow bridge and my great dane doing well, i feel...kinda useless... So i made a deal with the hubs that if i quit vaping i can have fishies again! So im working real hard so that $150 i normally spend on vape i can spend on fishies!

Howdy! I have found a lot of useful information from this forum just from google searches, so i thought id join the club! About 6 years ago i had 8 bettas (2 were half moon male, 4 were hmpk male, and 2 were hmpk female), a pair of what i believe were paleatus cories, and a trio of sterbais. I was successfully breeding the paleatus for my lfs when an unfortunate accident from misreading a label took not just the paleatus but also my sterbais. Im now looking to get back into the game with dwarf cories, guppies, and of course some snails and shrimp (not going to breed snails and shrimp, at least not intentionally lolz). My plan is to do better, give better, and care better. I always pour my heart and soul into my animals always doing my best to give my best care to them as possible. Ive had many animals in the last 12 years besides fish, 2 dogs (1 miniature pinscher who passed last summer, and a great dane who will be 4yrs next month), 2 cats (both gone unfortunately), 4 crested geckos, (2 male 2 female), a gargoyle gecko (male), and a leopard gecko (female). I have many many pics of my animals but i will only post the fishies unless asked for the others. First and second image is of spot and dot and their babies (paleatus) 3rd-5th pics are of the HMPK, the only one who i definitely remember his name is the 5th pic: patriot Last 2 pics are of my HM bettas toothless (blue) and cloud jumper (white)
