Bobbi's Tank Journal

[MissBellatrix116]

Hello, All!

I wanted to start a journal here to kind of keep track of things and hope that others enjoy seeing this stuff too. I know I love seeing/reading about everyone else's tanks through their journals. 

I currently have 2 tanks, a 20 gallon and 14 gallon. Both have Bettas with some tanks mates. I am hoping to convince my boyfriend that I need a third tank once I start my new job, which would be a guppy community tank I think. I "rescaped" my 20 gallon tank today and thought it would be the best time to start this journal off. I plan on doing the 14 gallon tomorrow and will add that here tomorrow.

My 20 gallon is currently home to:

• Galadaeros (aka Gal) the Halfmoon Betta
• 2 Nerite snails
• 6ish Amano shrimp
• 5 Otocinclus
• 8ish Ramshorn snails

I started this tank back in January when I fell in love with Gal at a Petsmart. I have had fish off and on throughout my life, but unfortunately not to the level of care that I now know they need. I have since fallen down the rabbit hole and am OBSESSED. 

This is what the tank looked like this morning. I am currently fighting some hair algae, but it is SO much better now than it was. I think I am finally beating it! Though, it does look cool on my castle, I think. 

This is what I ended up with. I hope my PSO will fill in the background soonish, since it is all spread out now. I am thinking about adding a background but cant decide between black and dark grey. 

Gal is pouting because he only got vibra bites today, not frozen bloodworms.

Gal likes to rest on the hair algae.

And a super cute Oto. I am in LOVE with these little fish!!

 

Thank you for coming and seeing my tank!

Beautiful aquarium! A dark grey background would be interesting, I have not seen that before. I think black would hide algae better though if you were not planning on cleaning the back panel. The hair algae does look cool though on the castle haha
