Confetto Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Back in July, I took my niece to Petco to buy supplies needed for her ferrets/guinea pigs &/or lizard. I'm a dog person & didn't need to be in the small animal section so I wandered over to the aquatics. I've had a few bettas over the years and find them very attractive fish. I had no intentions on purchasing a fish tank. The Aqueon tanks were 50% off. I owned an older model Top Fin desktop aquarium already, however I have always wanted a glass tank. When I got home, I went into the garage and pulled out the acrylic tank. I began to go through my fish supplies: needed new tubing as well as new suction cups for a Whisper filter. My heater wasn't working either. The next morning, I ordered replacement parts to pickup at the store & came home with a 3 gallon rimless tank to began the cycle process. Over the next few days I began watching videos from Aquarium Co-op and Girl Talks Fish. I found myself watching videos about aquascaping and admired how beautiful the tanks looked. I had no intentions on purchasing live plants. My silk plants just didn't look right in my tank anymore. That afternoon, I was back at Petco purchasing an anubias sp. Not long after that, Miso, a tangerine koi betta joined our family. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schuyler Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Miso looks like he's getting ready for some D&D! Haha but now you're kinda limited on what else you can put in that aquarium. Either that means it will hold you back from going overboard or you'll develope a case of multi tank syndrome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landon Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Wow, his coloring is amazing! Welcome to the forum, Dungeon Master Miso 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confetto Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 He does roll the dice! They are heavy enough to sink, but light enough move about. I contacted Chessex Dice to be sure they were safe for Miso. Dice were a perfect fit with the dragon head! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nina Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 OMG -- beautiful. Also, I LOVE Irene's videos for beginners. My niece just got a betta and I'm sending her some of Irene's content to watch. It seems really kid friendly (and helpful to adults too). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robstar Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Great story and cool setup. I can't go back to fake plants either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
