I went ahead and just got another betta about a week or 2 ago. will try to get a pic of it soon it's red, black and a tiny spot of blue.

well first thing you need to know is if your betta aggressive or mellow. Thats the biggest factor in tankmates imo. I had a very mellow betta but when I put a platy in his tank he was not very comfy at all. instead of hanging out at the top of the tank greeting me everytime I came near the...

yes you should have your substrate in your tank when you cycle it, sand or gravel have different pros and cons. Gravel has cracks so food and fecal matter can slip in the cracks however it's relatively easier to maintain, sand food and fecal stays on the top surface making it easier to get it...

No clue yet still have the filter running and the tank full of water so the bacteria doesn't die. what else could I put in a 5.5 gallon tank besides a betta?

Well my betta died :( thought he was napping at the bottom, tapped the glass didnt move then nudged him with my fish net. Didnt move at all, gonna miss this little guy.

They are omnivores but prefer meat, not effective algae eater. I think they like driftwood. Anyway Its L015 if you want to check it out. Its a manmade pleco cant get them naturally.

Thanks, yeah he wasnt exactly cheap but I had the money on me easily figured might as well invest it into a beautiful fish.

Yeah I realy like how he stands out in my tank. Instead of my bolivian ram being the centerpiece seems the pleco hs become the centerpiece.

Yeah I know they will used to have a small 1 gallon plastic divided tank and had 2 bettas in it. Now I gotta make a divider myself.

Hey Reygan, thinking about making a divider for my 5.5g tank and getting a 2nd betta since my current betta doesnt use the entire tank very much. What do you think?

Was looking to buy a bushynose but I saw a candy striped pleco and looked it up online and bought it. Very happy with the new guy/gal. Took a pic at the lfs.

Well spent a pretty penny and bought a candy striped pleco. Pic is of the one I purchased in the lfs tank.

Well the one I got was very very small luckily there is a bigger bristlenose close to full size for sale at another lfs Im gonna buy it if they still have it for sale.

They are doing greatt, eatting well and very active. I like them more than I thought I would. However pleco died not sure if he didnt get enough food or if it was lack of driftwood (or veggies as I just learned they like certain veggies).

I added 5 emerald green cories and an albino bushynose pleco to the tank. I tossed in some shrimp pellets and a algae disc. They ate it fairly quick, must of been very hungry.

Well I baffled my ac50 on the lowest flow with a plastic bottle for the time being, hear the filter more so than the water now.

Yeah Im planning doing several pieces of seriyu stone and 1 piece of driftwood for a pleco.

Water level is very high, using an aquaclear 50, is it a possible side effect in the coloration from the carbon media?

This keeps happening where ever I move my aquaclear 50, what is it and whats causing it?

Well tank is filled with water and the sand, poured in 2 capfuls of stability and a capful of prime. Monitored room temps of 75-76 degrees so I may not need a heater but will be keeping a fluval e 100w on hand just incase. Now the waiting comes.

2 bolivian rams, 5 panda Cories, 10 emperor tetras, maybe a pleco too.

Well got my new room set up however I do not have space for a 40 breeder but I can fit a 20H in. Went and got the tank at petco (love dpg sale) as well as 2 10lb bags of caribsea Super Naturals sand.

Well same footprint just slightly more height.

Spoke with my local petco on tank sizes they sell. Was told they never carry 30 breeder only 40 breeder. So for dollar per gallon savings going 40 breeder instead.

Yeah I agree and I will in the future. Got other things to take care of first before I can, just a matter of time.
