Nice set up, man. The Anubias was an improvement. I suggest a few shrimp and a Nerite snail to help fight off recurring algae. Love the Betta. He looks great against the dark background and substrate.

this little guy might be a menace as far as tank mates are concerned. will try a nerite though!
@kathleenmonsegue97003 жыл бұрын
Shrimp might end up being eaten by the betta, its a gamble. Plus you don't have any carpeting plants for the shrimp to feel secure and hide in..so probably not a good idea. If you go the nerve snail route, be aware that they do lay lots of little sesame seed sized eggs everywhere. Those are unsightly but don't hatch in freshwater.

This turned out so good! Now I’m seriously considering getting a Fluval 5 as well. Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of room left in my room so I have to be smart since I already have the Marineland 5 gallon contour. By the way, maybe add a Nerite snail or two in this tank. They’ll help eat the algae off from your tank.

out of this or the Marineland portrait, what is better? of course price is an important factor, but also footprint. I have a pretty small room and the portrait fits much better, however, I feel like this one is better because of the larger horizontal area
@Pharmaquatics3 жыл бұрын
if you have the money, go with the fluval spec. maximizing horizontal swimming space is always more ideal

If you add nerite snails they'll clean that alge off for you and look cute. My favourites are bumblebee staghorn nerite snail. They look cute, are smaller and nerites need brackish water to breed apparently so population is controlled.
