New wagtail platies

[Fibsog]

Hi guys, so its my last lfs trip for months so last hurrah! For the 2g betta tank in my room, i found a 4" mini filter and a betta heater. So, now that my betta tank is complete, Cascade is very lonely. She needs friends! So in went the platies. She loves them! Shes been very active now that the water is up to 76 degrees, and the platies are friendly. Almost got white clouds or tetras but changed my mind. I decided on poecilia genus. Not guppies, added variety, and here we are. Put them in, rescaped, and i love it. What do you think?http://i866.photobucket.com/albums/...2-4573-444B-83B9-70B37CEE0A82_zpsz8i60wub.jpg

Why your last trip? Looks good and good choice not going with guppies. Betta would kill it because they look the same to a fish.

Ive been going every weekend for the last 3 months, and the only place with fish stores (4 fish stores!!!) is 45 minutes away. We dont go back until I run out of filters. There are a lot. So. Can i change the filter daily? Lol.

Yes, the petco people said that. I was thinking platy and the guy said "your best bet is platies" so i got excited!

Before rescaping. Glad i did it! Small space to work with bur i think i did ok. When my baby java fern grows i will move it into there.

2g is way small for platies.

Also never change the filter pad. It removes all of your beneficial bacteria. Just swish it in a bucket of tank water when it is dirty. Also 2 gallons with a beta and platties is way overstocked.

Guys, i just went on aq advisor and i get it. So i know what to do for once. My good friend recently got a 5 gallon tank. I think i need to give them to him. Is this a good idea? And to the rest of it guys, im only in this hobby for 3 months. Im new and i have a lot to learn. Im sorry, i hope you understand.

I'd go with atleast a 10g for the platies.

When i give my red eye tetra away, thats where they will go. Mr tetra is at strike 4. Another attack, hes out.

Is he by himself ? Not in a shook ? That's probably why.

Yes he was being watched for my friend but his tank broke and he cant take him back. I want to get rid of him somehow but idk if my lfs will take him.
