A scarlet baddies would go well with your other fish but most of them will only eat live food
They were an option for me as well. Love the male coloration. Hard to get females in the trade, though

Since some have mentioned the honey gourami with celestial pearl danios, I made a quick video of mine getting along great as the eat the co op baby brine shrimp. The fish on the substrate are panda cories.
My apologies about the quality of the video. Cheap phone and I don't have Jimmy's mad skills
Oh wow! Thank you for the shot! Very serene and nice to see a nice community 😁

Thank you for that take, I know deep down we did it for him and it was for the best but it's hard not to also feel guilty about it like we abandoned him or something 😢. So I appreciate that you see it that way, thank you for the kind words!
You didn't abandon him. Abandoning implies you brought it to a shelter or let it outside too roam. You saved it from being lonely and possibly getting sick. They are people cats. They don't do well if they are left on their own like most cats. They can get depressed and fall sick sometimes if they aren't interacted enough with. You did the right thing 🙂

@KentFishFanUK That is very selfless of you. Not many people would do that. I'm glad you thought of Oscar's life instead of how yours would be without him. I commend you for that.
I will definitely post when I pick it out 😁
-
I live inverts so I am a bit biased lol
I'm sorry to hear about Oscar but OH MY GOD YES he is a dog. Doesn't leave you alone, follows you everywhere, fetches, needs to be told he's a Good Boy or he doesn't eat; yeah. He owns me lol
-
@KentFishFanUK I do love the look of them and they were actually the first fish that I found I wanted! I was just worried about them killing my adult neo shrimp.
Yes! That is my rag doll 😁 His name is Romeo. He's 3 years old this year.
-
Very interesting! I will think about that. I haven't heard of them but I will do some research 😉

@Patrick_G Are you talking about Furcatas?
-
@Patrick_G Also a BIG choice. I wanted to get two but I heard they can be monsters when it comes to shrimp.
-
@GameCzar That wouldn't be too hard around me. They are a bright pop of color that I would enjoy.
-
@Bobbie I was thinking about that. A Betta would be nice if it could be integrated well into a community. It's on a fish by fish basis with Bettas haha

I am looking for some unique ideas for stocking! This is a 16 gallon and I have 5 baby panda corys and 3 Otocinclus sp. I want to have a school of Celestial Pearl Danios in here as well. Any interesting ideas for 1 showpiece fish?
-
@laritheloud That's amazing! I have some pond snails, 6 Corydoras panda, 3 Otos right now. I plan on adding 2 nerites and 2 rabbit snails with a school of CPDs.

@laritheloud Holy buckets. I may have to step up my Easy Green game. Good thing I started with a layer of Aquasoil haha

Which is great, but I just want to make sure it does well.

@BaRanchik Currently 20 ppm, I believe. I'm sure it will go up with time because the tank is only 1 month old.
-
@tolstoy21 I appreciate all of the info! I will keep that all in mind
-
@Colu Thank you! I hope it bounces back and grow well
-
@CT_ Yeah mine are pretty chunky so perhaps they just need to get hungry and then they'll go at em

You want to get rid of diatoms? Two words…
Nerite Snails
Getting them VERY SOON, my friend. Just need to get a lid so they don't go on nightly strolls in my apartment 🤣
-
I got three Otocinclus vittatus on Saturday and they seem to be doing well so far. They are from a person who bought them to help his diatom problem and they did the trick. Now I have them because I think their personalities are great and they have the added bonus of being algae eating machines, from what I hear! I have them in a 16 gallon with a lot of diatoms and minor string algae (it's a month old set up). They haven't taken to eating any diatoms yet but their bellies are plump and they are active as all get out. Do you think they may just be full and that's why they aren't eating the diatoms? Could it be that they haven't fully adjusted to their new digs? They were eating the Xtreme Nano I put in for my Panda Corys so I know they've eaten a little bit. I just want to make sure they'll eat the diatoms and have plenty of them! TIA

I enjoy this plant, but it grows almost as fast as duckweed, so prepare for dealing with excess!
I love the look of it so that will be okay 😁 My shrimp will enjoy it!

@laritheloud Okay thank you. My red root floaters went translucent like this and didn't come back. They call disintegrated

Don't Miss the Live Presentation on Breeding Bettas with Gianne Souza
in Aquarium Co-Op Events
Posted
I think it is fair to say that the most commonly known and kept species of Betta is Betta splendens. In your professional opinion, is there a species that is either very little known about or kept that you would love for it to be more readily available and kept in the aquarium hobby?
