Wow he looks awesome!

Well this is my guy today! I think he's looking much better. I used the betta revive as suggested and have kept very clean water. Still has some rot but is looking and acting much better. Thanks all for the advice!

My new guy again. Still recovering from fin rot he had at the lps. Still no name. Open to suggestions :)

The Guppies I've had have always been fine with shrimp!

Ah these are awesome! I never thought of decorating for the seasons but now I definitely am. Thanks!

Whoa. Not to be rude but that is totally overstocked. As for the original post, have you considered a betta? or maybe a few male guppies? 7.5 gallon would be an awesome home for betta and shrimp unless you want multiple fish

Totally possible! And 35 liters is plenty. There is a chance the betta might snack on your shrimp but you never know until you try. Also I would get multiple shrimp because their bioload is close to nothing and it's nice to have a little colony of them. You can put tons in a 35 liter. The otos...

Thanks! I think I'm going to give him a week in just the clean water and see if I see any improvements. If not then I will try what you suggested!

My new guy from Petco. No name yet!

My new male rescued from Petco. No name yet!

Thanks everyone! Luv4bettas: I heard bettafix is the same thing as melafix but it is just diluted and a very lower concentration. So couldn't I just use melafix at a reduced dose?

So I got a new male betta at Petco two days ago and when I questioned them about it having fin rot I was told that it was just the way this one looked. Well upon having him home for two days it looks a lot like fin rot on the tips of his fins to me. Do you think it looks like fin rot? If so...

Looks awesome! Just a note- the tetras and I believe the loaches like to be in bigger groups so you may want to consider getting a few more of each

Looks great!

Wow awesome plant growth!

New photos just a few days later! Both my guys color and fins look so much better! These pictures don't even do them justice

Yep they're still pretty young

I would definitely do some research on swim bladder. It could be the issue and It seems common with platys. Also as a side note I would personally up the water changes to once a week. Good luck!

Check out this site. It categorizes the plants by light needs. Also just googling low light plants will give you tons of info that I can't provide. Good luck! http://www.aquariumplants.com/mobile/Category.aspx?id=25

Did you already get the 3 gallon? If you haven't I would definitely try to get a 5 gallon instead. It is still small enough for a desk and you can have more stable heating in it as well as space for your betta. Anubis, Java fern, and Java moss have all grown well in my low light tanks so that...

They both look very close! A week at the absolute most before they deliver

Awesome thanks guys!

Yes they are the plastic tubes with gel. I was just hoping to get some that are snail free! Looks like this might be a good idea
