They're doing absolutely fine, thanks for asking! I've come to learn that healthy peppered corys do have a metallic green dusting. I stopped treating, and months later they are healthy and getting huge! They all look happy.
Semi aquatic. They were lucky bamboo stalks that were tall enough to not drown in my tank. I've always liked how they look, but the fish stores around me only had really tiny stalks... I feel liked i really noobed out on this one...
Thanks for the article mumma! The "bugs" looked most similar to either water fleas or seed shrimp. You're probably right about me and jumping the gun, but I just got so worried cause I bought the plants from a local market and I had no idea what horrible, terrible things I could have introduced...
Thanks for the article mumma! The "bugs" looked most similar to either water fleas or seed shrimp but with a tinge of green to them. You're probably right about me jumping the gun, but I just got so worried because I bought the plants from a local market and I didnt know what i could have...
And on that note, I'm not sure whether these critters/worms are parasitic or not. I think the betta may have eaten some of the worms. However I just looked at the container the betta is in and there doesn't seem to be any worms/insect things moving around (or any of them that are alive at any rate)
How do I move a fish from a cup of "thing" infested water into a tank without infesting the new tank?
I had a betta in a 5.5g. Introduced some new plants, which led to bugs in substrate, things crawling on the waters surface, and worms!!!!!!! I got the cup the betta came in and scooped him out...

My 5.5 planted experiment tank is going downhill, and seeing as there is only one fish in it I was considering breaking it down. now, [mod edit] added some plants there are little bugs and some worms crawling around in it! Now I'm gonna take it down, relocate the fish, and sterilize everything...
Wow! Loads of good suggestions, thanks! Unfortunately I can't really do a school because one fish (at around a dwarf gourami bio load) should make me stocked.
Gold rams are an interesting suggestion though. TBH, I don't know anything really about cichlids. And think it may be a bit outta my...
A worker at a store I've built a rapport with suggested a gold gourami. Normally I would have dismissed it thinking that they are too big, but the guy has always given me great info before. Any opinions on a gold gourami?
Any other suggestions?
I started up this hobby after I left the dorms and am now currently in an apartment, so idk about dorm fish though I wouldn't recommend it for simple lack of space and likely move at the end of the year. But on to your questions!
15g freshwater (I wouldn't go any larger than this as I know...
