ElfDa Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Hello there! I'm Elspeth, but friends call me Elf; feel free! I'm a local customer to ye olde coop, and I'm not sure what took me so long to join the forum..? I was the fish lady at the Redmond Petco, some years back, and I heckin love bettas! I currently have 4, and am running a total of 7 tanks, all 10 gallons or less. I also have a chihuahua, a bunch of reptiles, a dozen or so tarantulas, and many plants. I'm including a pic of some baby cacti I started from seeds that I collected from my late cactus, Fluffy, who lived into their 20s. (Yes, Scarlett, the betta, is way too full in that photo; she stole food from her loaches.) 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perpetually a work in progress, and I'm really pleased with its progress. 21 hours ago, Isaac M said: Welcome to the forum! The baby cacti is too cool and I am jealous that you are a local customer! Haha Aw, thank you! Once they're much older, I'll be looking for homes for some of them -- I didn't expect this many to germinate, let alone grow and thrive. It's kinda cool, 'cause I first heard of them by word-of-mouth, and was like "i should visit some time" and then I saw their videos and went "ok, now I *have to* go there" and it's been planted tank bliss ever since! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudofish Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Very nice. I don't think I could do tarantulas though. I'm scared of most spiders lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
