Agree that's a pretty betta!

Water still cloudy. If not clear in the morning I'll do a 40-50% water change. Oh and I got 4 new sterbai!

Thinking about adding a different center piece of decor. Tree, statue, rock??? All three?? I currently have an Angel, Three Rainbows, and three dwarf Cory's. Three Cory's died sequentially about 2 weeks before my tank change. Water still pretty cloudy. Just have to be patient on that one. Any...

Redesigned my aquascape layout. Removed all large rocks, swapped gravel for sand, changed background, only leaving moss over large river stones. Will post a pick once water is clear.

Oh wow I did have an albino kribs! Totally forgot. I actually kept mine with a few tiger barbs and giant danios

You could do a moss wall on the back! My first tank was just like this and I had a Xmas moss back wall. My betta loved it!

I've never heard of kribs before,sorry, buy I had two oscars together, two angels, two rainbowfish, two pictus, etc. In my experience through many tanks and species I have yet to find a species that does well with only two. I have to say go with only 1 or go with 5.

Wow what a difference removing the pictus and adding the three Cory's made to activity level in my tank.

Mine were the same way. Problem was my pictus liked to eat my smaller fish once he was large enough. What size are your Raphael's and do you have any pictures of them?

Today I traded a black angel and a pictus catfish and came home with 2 more rainbowfish and three more corys. Total 1 Angel, 5 Rainbows, 5 Cory Catfish. Oh and I did keep the Striped Raphael against all suggestions. I wonder what have been your experiences with them in the past? Also if you have...

In addition to rehoming the others I mentioned? Just keep and angel and the Corys?

Might trade the rainbows too. My big angel is my centerpiece fish. So back to my first question. I I end up with one angel, a striped Raphael and half dozen Cory's, I would like one other fish. Be it a species of pleco or something else. What would look really nice?

Yeah. Thanks

Yes in South Carolina. My local shop will trade. Perhaps I'll trade one of the angels and the pictus for a few Cory's.
