I am very impressed with your precision!!! What's the plant in the middle of the tank (I pulled a screenshot, see below!)? I love the variation in color as you look from left to right...and I'd love to achieve that kind of contrast...but I'm a Java fern girl, living in a low-light Java fern world! 😜

That's a good idea! I hear you on avoiding medicating! I will say, I feel like Betta fins take FOREVER to heal...so, you may be doing everything right, but progress might be slow...as long as you're not going backwards, you're going forwards! 50% change once a week is pretty solid...how big is your community tank? If you don't see a positive change when you remove the tetra, you could also try separating the Betta.

This looks like nipping to me...who else is in the tank? His tail seems too short for him to be nipping...but his roommates might be suspects! In my experience, clear on the edges of fins = growth. A good sign, for sure! Also...frequent water changes helped me get my colleague's fin-rotten betta to regrow most of his finnage...how often are you water changing? I think I water-changed Geode every other to every third day (no meds used)...but he was in his own, un-cycled small tank (3.5 gal), not a community.

Added some Orange Rili Shrimp to the tank...the kids were FASCINATED...apparently, Sig and Figgy aren't charming enough...but throw in some cute shrimpies...INSTANT ADORATION! 😂 "What ARE those???" "Are they going to get any bigger???" "Oh my gosh...they're so weird!" "Are those the shrimp that you were talking about last week?? We Googled them to see what they were like!" "Eeeek! They're so little and cute and FAST!"

The TV series Fringe is pretty fun! I binged that one a few summers ago. Kinda reminds me of a more humor-driven X-Files. I tried to read Dune earlier this year and got too tangled up in the characters and gave it up...I'll be interested to watch the reboot movie!

Whats your average online order at Aquarium Co-Op?
Betsy replied to Efrojd's topic in Off Topic General
Let's see...I started a cart the other day...sponge filter, pre-filter sponges, plants, test strips, dechlorinator, and...plants! -
....this one has me converted! That water lettuce is 🔥! 😂👍 Are there any cool ponds in public places where you live?? Location: Dilworth Tasting Room in Charlotte, NC

Ahhh - the dreaded driftwood biofilm! Completely normal and harmless. Totally gross looking, feeling, and smelling! 😂 The only thing I have to add is that my nerite snails tackled my DBF issue much faster than my shrimp did...if you can handle the possibility of their white, dotty, superglue-like eggs popping up in your tank, they will become your tank MVP's (in my opinion and experience)! 😜👍

Epic Fish Apartment Move and New Fishroom Build
Betsy replied to NeoNerd's topic in Photos, Videos & Journals
Very excited to follow along with your journey!!! 🥳 Cute pupper and awesome tanks and stands! Who is the fan of more water changes? I'm very jealous that your partner is interested in fishkeeping, too...mine will admit that my tank is cool, but is not keen on my hobby-related purchases! 😂 -
Thank you for this!!! I will have to check these out - our back yard is pretty wild right now, and so we've been chipping away trying to make it a little more organized (read: less weedy) and to attract more fun wildlife...this thread is perfect for inspiration!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful outdoor spaces!

So very jealous of this - I've got one consistent hummer that visits my little rail box with the scarlet sage and the baby bells (Calibrachoa). I'd love to have a flock, but I think that means I'll have to make my yard foliage a little more tempting! 😂👍

Pete says thank you for the compliment! (And, thank you for putting all of that together!! Those photo competitions were really great! You two did an excellent job with the organization of those contests!! 😆👍) Hugo sounds like he has quite the personality (and, he is pretty, too!!)! Hugo posts are some of my favorites. The bettas really do make the rules, don't they?? Pete likes to monitor his minions from the MagFloat! 😂
