Aquarium Advice Newbie
So I haven't had a tank for close to 10 years. I used to work at Petsmart, and all of my paychecks generally went to fish tanks and paraphernalia. Recently a friend of mine and I decided to each get back into it, and to get a Betta tank. I knew I wanted live plants, got natural colored gravel, and a log decoration for him to hide in.
So I bought my tank and my plants and my stuff and set it up, and I thought I had it looking great for it just starting out! My half moon betta is swimming around happy as can be, playing peek-a-boo in his log, trying and failing miserably to eat the guppy fry that lives with him (temporarily, I'm sure.)
And then I found this page. Thanks guys. Thanks. Now I feel like my little tank is just pathetic, and rather amateur. Now I need more tanks. And more plants. And more more.
Today while I was gazing at it, I noticed snail snot under some of my mondo grass. I scraped it off and threw it away, but now I'm panicked that I will end up with snails that I don't really want. Do I need to worry? Should I treat it with chemicals? I want to at some point get an african dwarf frog, but will they actually eat the eggs and such?
Any advice is appreciated!
Anywho, here it is!
