    Just found a snail!

    It's strange coz I have never seen the snails/ shells move but they are always in other places- do u think it's then moving or could the fish be moving them?

    Cleaned filter with tank water

    Thanks mumma of 2! I was a little worried- my filter was a lil sluggish and was full of algae and stuff. It is much better now. All good to hear! It looks a bloom- very fine particles suspended in the water! ;-) hope it clears soon

    It's NEW BETTA DAY!!

    My betta gup used to spend much of his time on the castle but recently he sends the days sitting next to my filter motor on the corner. He is still social with the other fish but only retreats to the castle at night to sleep. Is this normal or should I be worried?
