JJenna Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Those crypts are beautiful. Half the time I look at mine and wonder, "is this how they are supposed to look?" I think you may be a "Crypt Whisperer" (which means you are a Master at Crypt growing! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smm333 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Welcome! Your tank is beautiful. I love the plants, and it's great that your betta is good with other fish. Mine was always picking on everyone, so I ended up setting multiple tanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. 🙂 in general he is okay with other fish but he is still young I think I can say that he is a juvenile . The room is completely dark until when I open the curtains , and then he sees the daylight recognizes blue eyes ( luminatus) and starting to the day chasing them. Short after chasing is over. No harm. I guess the promlem is blue eyes’ like surface and betta too. It causes some conflict. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least you had a valid reason to run multiple tanks thanks to your betta!:D Don't we all try to find excuses and convince ourselves to start another tank all the time.:') 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The endler guy Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I rock, because I ran to get some turkey on some china because I was hungry im sorry, I had to do it welcome! Such a beautiful tank I love the two extremes, super cloudy (with tannins) or the crystal clear water that makes fish look like they are flying through air, and yours is super clear! Must be a lot of work to keep it that way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you love to make turkey jokes . it's okay we are prepared for this at least I am. thanks for good comment about the tank yeah it's almost crystal clear. I only do water changes 2 times in a week.Black water always in mind too.I 'll try it in the future with some ramirezi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also do yourself a favor instead of gbr get Bolivian rams, they only have a little less color, but they get a little bigger (not much though) and have even better personality, and are sooo much easy to keep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolivian ram is a better choice for our mental health I see. Actually I have a bad history about ramirezi . i did not enough experience on them. it was too early to try them and I lost all of them. I want to try again a day . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sankaz Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Merhaba! (I cheated and looked up how to say hello) 😃 Your tall plants are gorgeous! I like how they look from above. I agree with Lennie your 'boy' is beautiful. Are you using tap water or purified water, your tank is pristine! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly how I got my Bolivian, I love dwarf cichlids but can’t keep them so I got a Bolivian because it is the easiest dwarf cichlid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merhaba my friend😊 The plant is ceratophyllum demersum if I m mistaken. this plant is the latest addition to tank. it looks so beautiful from above i agree with you. I expect from this plant being more dense and help me to hide the heater and pipe filter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to follow a turkish forum , and I have seen so many good hobbiests in there but bad examples either. We can find aquarium plants in here easly , live stock depends on where you are living in turkey like other countries. Hobby is expensive in our country because of import and our money is not in good condition now. :)) I think if I compare to this site there are so many people obsess with discus they do water changes daily😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
