What lights, filter, and pump did you use. The light is an Aquarium Clip on Light for Small Borderless tanks made by XY-Firestar (this one only works on rimless tanks because of the mount) The filter is an AquaNeat nano filter as I find that co-ops nano filters are just too large for anything under 5gallons The pump is one of co-op's USB nano pumps. We have two amazon swords, a dwarf lily, and some floaters with fluval plant and shrimp and its a jungle in there! The CPDs love it. What are you planning on stocking?

Taco Playz Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Idk yet. I was thinking on making it another guppy tank. But idk yet it might be for fry or shrimp. How much were those lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarista Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Some of the bladder snails in our 3 gallon cube decided to show off today and surf the biofilm. I know a lot of people think they are pests, but we find them adorable, and they do such a good job on cleanup! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameCzar Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 We haven't updated this journal in a long time, so I figured it was time. Some of you know we picked up a gorgeous lady betta from AquaHuna. She's living with a few bladder snails and seems very happy and healthy! Her favorite foods so far are vibrabites and frozen brine shrimp. ❤️ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My LFS had them in. I think he orders from the general fish farms - CA / FL. Maybe inquire at your LFS? The scientific name is: Horadandia atukorali You can learn some scientific data here. They're the easiest little fish I've ever kept. They eat any prepared food offering. Currently, they're sharing tank with 20-30 German Blue Rams growing out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 pairs that lay every week but the eggs never hatch and I think it's because my water is too hard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you live in U.S., just go to WalMart, buy the "Great Value" drinking water that says on the label "from R.O." source. Do not get "spring water" or the "distilled water." For a very detailed breeding report, you can chug through this as your time allows... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameCzar Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 I am sad to report we lost our girl, Bluebonnet this morning. She would periodically release a batch of eggs (3 times since we had her). Every time she would get lethargic the next day, but the day after would be back to her active, begging for food self. Two days ago she released a batch and we found her dead this morning. I have no idea if this is normal for female bettas to release eggs every couple of weeks, and whether or not that can cause stress that could lead to death, but we're trying not to beat ourselves up too much about it. I'm not sure where to go with this 3 gallon cube from here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveO Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Sorry to hear this. It's always sad when we lose our pets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
