Aquarium Advice FINatic
After watching me and my tanks go through trials and tribulations, my girlfriend decided that she wanted a tank of her own. Of course, she used the age old excuse that it was for her daughter.
I had given them a male betta with a 1gal tank, plus I added an internal Penn Plax filter.
I haven't done a single thing to this tank....it's been all her. I have just given her a little direction in terms of doing water changes, etc. She didn't fishless cycle :x so I have her doing 50% water changes every other day.
It's a 50 liter tank with 1 male betta, 6 neons, 2 otos, and 3 pandas cories. It was originally supposed to be a new betta tank, but you know how that goes.....she just had to get more fish. All I could do at that point it try to talk her through a fishy cycle.
This is what it looks like after just 3 weeks...
So far, the fish and the plants are doing great. I told her that the amazon sword is going to overgrow that tank, but you didn't really expect her to listen did you? I also advised against the otos since the tank isn't mature enough. Yeah right! The otos are doing great, as are the neons and cories. The betta ("Fall Out Boy") is really enjoying his new kingdom. I just can't get over how healthy and lush the plants look. I think she might be a keeper...
