Great Adventure!  Your journey made me laugh and tear up so sweet!  The tank looks amazing and so Great to get her into the hobby with you. Can't wait to see the betta and maybe shrimp?  I seen the little caves at the bottom.

What a looker! 😍  BB is definitely beautiful!  I love the red variations in his fins!

My Pete came from Texas, too.  They must grow 'em good out there! 😜👍

@ARMYVETinspiring me to turn my Fluval EBI tank into a beta display! Well done on BB and the setup!

Love, love, love this!  I "awwwwwwww"-ed out loud when you bought her her favorite betta as a surprise.  I'm so happy that your evil (haha) plan to get your wife on board with your hobby worked out well and echo what everyone else said about how beautiful the tank turned out with the plants and hardscape.

Thank you for such kind words.  I can tell you that not only is my wife on board.  She helped me In building a fish room in the garage.  We are now up to 20 tanks and soon adding more.  But that’s a whole new story to tell😜

That is a stunning betta!

@ARMYVET I am glad your wife is finally on board!

I spent quite some time trying to get my spouse on board, and right about the time I was ready to admit defeat.....

 

I offered to move the 4' tank out of my spouse's room and was told no in no uncertain terms. 

Today I was heralded with the new adventures of the latest fry, and last night we were looking at guppies together. After watching the fish at the livebearer show in FL, I was told no guppies because they looked miserable and couldn't swim right with the long tails, followed by "I thought these were guppies?"

Then we looked at videos of endlers livebearers.... and identified the so-called feeder guppies I got from the lfs for the turtle.

Still not as fully on board as your spouse, but starting to show interest in the 4' build I have spent 6 months gathering stuff for.

I'm waiting for full buy in, before I finish setting it up.
