noctiluca1101 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Hello! After several years of being out of the aquarium hobby, I decided to "slowly" get back into it and purchased a 10 gallon tank last month... and already also now have 7-ish gallon with a betta AND picked up a 40 gallon breeder tank for which I currently planning the aquascape 😅 As I'm sure it has been for lots of folks, the last year has been extremely challenging mentally and emotionally, and getting back into the aquarium hobby has been much-needed therapy. I no longer have a Facebook account, so feel like I am missing out on a lot of fish groups and the local clubs. I am very excited and grateful to be here in this online community, and look forward to meeting fellow fish nerds! 🥰 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBOzzie59 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 All you really need is C.A.R.E. I left facebook quite some time ago and have not missed it at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For. Real. I've actually had about 5-6 extremely challenging years, and got back into aquariums a few months ago in an effort to save my sanity. It's a great help.

noctiluca1101 Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 Thanks so much, everyone! 🥰 @KBOzzie59 I have not missed it at all either, and assumed my anxiety level would be reduced but am a little surprised by how MUCH my anxiety was reduced. @Arcite I will hopefully have updated pictures, soon. My tanks are a little bit of a mess right now but I hope to be doing some major "housekeeping" this weekend 😊 @CalmedByFish I really feel you on that one. ❤️ Picture of 10 gallon tank before rearranging the plants (i'm sure you can tell which decorations the kids picked out): Impulse Betta purchase/rescue from local box store: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmedByFish Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 @noctiluca1101Your betta's color is amazing! Is it actually bright pink, or does it just look that way in the picture? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
