Send me a picture of your fish, and I’ll draw it for 7 dollars, and then I can put it on a shirt for you in my Redbubble store so you can wear a shirt with your fish on it!

I can even put a cute line of text under/over it, in a font of your choosing, such as “Ask me about my fish!” or “Fish are Friends.” No extra cost for this.

The fish pictured is Azzie. I’d draw different tail types and color patterns. I may alter this design to show some of her purple and pink marbling.

Reblogging from my main!

I may also start doing more realistic commissions for fish designs/shirts too!

Saw a fish at Petco that had a heart on his tail!

#feeeeeeeeesh

New plant! I named it Groot because I'm a dork who names plants. The other plant's name is, well, Fern. Was unlabeled in the store (tube plants were limited and were turning brown) but I think it’s an amazon sword! Thoughts?

Something that will look good in a 4 gallon.

I’m thinking another anubias?

Or maybe a java fern?

But I kinda want something tall that will act as a backdrop plant as well…

IDK.

But I want something cheap because college kid, so not too many big plants… Maybe one 8-dollar one and one…

personalfish

I would suggest going to petsmart instead, if it’s an option, and getting one or two of the big plants that are in the plastic tubes- they’re totally safe to just rinse off and put in the tanks. Call me paranoid, but I don’t trust petcos plants, since they’re usually in with other fish, and you don’t know what those guys might have or be carrying.

somefin-fishy

Petco has the tube plants too!

You just have to check the names of the plants because they aren't all "true" aquatic plants.

But I got a fern and an anubias. Unfortunately I poured the water right onto the anubias in a water change (I'm new to live plants what can I say and didn't even think about it) and it kinda fell apart since the roots weren't really in much of a true bulb. No snail scares or weird eggy things or anything though. 83

Also, the bus from campus stops at the mall, where the Petco is, meanwhile Petsmart is a few miles down the main road, and I don't really have money for a cab... D8

I want more plants for Dany's tank.

Something that will look good in a 4 gallon.

HALP FISHBLR HALP.

EDIT: Her current setup. And yes, that is a non-aquatic fern, but I keep a close eye on it and it has not turned yellow in the 6 months that I've had it, so I'm very lucky. But part of the reason why I want more plants is because I know that this fern will likely die off eventually so yeah.

OMG FISHBLRS ARE REALLY ATTRACTIVE.

JUST SAYIN.

Dany's fins are getting so long and full!

She looks pretty androgynous. Minus her seriously protruding ovipositor lol. But like, I posted a pic of her on a betta page on FB and a lot if people were commenting about "him" and I was like, "Uh... Egg spot?"

And I think her body shape is pretty feminine too? Idk.

It has one female betta in it that has a very sweet temperament. If it was my last betta (Azula) then I’d definitely shy away from tankmates, but I think Khaleesi would do well with some shrimp in her tank since she’s so curious and craves stimulation.

Is the tank too small...

somefin-fishy

My tank is currently unfiltered, but I am open to adding a nice little sponge filter. I was contemplating adding a filter anyway because I lost a fish in the past to ammonia poisoning and a filter could have made that less likely.

I would add more plants and rocks that are on the gravel level. Right now most of the hiding spaces are mid-tank because betta, but I'm definitely willing to tweak my setup to allow for the new shrimp friends. 8)

If I make these changes, will my tank be shrimp-safe?

Okay I have a fish question:

a) are there any actual health problems in GloFish? I keep expecting there to be, but I haven’t actually found anything! I don’t know if I’m just not looking in the right places? Or if they’re more “casual” fish so they’re just less documented.

b) is there any…

aquasplendens-deactivated202411

I wouldn’t do glofish in a 5 gallon. The ones they sell are usually zebra danios or another larger tetra and those guys need minimum 20 gallons for a good size shoal. You could do shrimp in a 5 gallon!

forkflinger

Bah! I’ll figure out something interesting with that tank someday. Thanks though.

Have you ever heard, generally, of problems with GloFish? I’d like to set up a tank of ‘em someday but not if they’ll all get, like, tumors.

aquasplendens-deactivated202411

I believe that the glofish now are not dyed, but rather the “glow” effect is an enhanced gene. I was told that originally they were used in water testing, but now are sold as pets. So I don’t believe there are any inherent health issues, (???) but I’ll take a look when I get home in a few hours.

somefin-fishy

I always thought that glofish and other danios needed 10 gallons. I looked into getting them for my suite, since my school has a 15 gallons per room limit. Most sites said 10 gallons. Obviously any fish will do better in a larger tank, but most sources on fish keeping seem to say that 10 gallons isn't unhealthy for a small shoal. Some people do suggest a 15 or 20 gallon tank for them though. But then again, some people yell at betta keepers whose tanks are under 5 gallons, even if they're well over 2.5. So you'll never have the whole fish community agree on tank size, it seems...

Keep in mind that I've never kept danios of any kind, so I don't know how they behave in a 10 vs a 20. This is just going by what at least 2/3 of the sites I looked at said.

And they aren't known to be any less healthy than a regular zebra fish as far as I know. They just have the FGP gene spliced into their DNA and they glow. It's pretty neat!

Can I add around 3 glass shrimp to my 4 gallon betta tank?

It has one female betta in it that has a very sweet temperament. If it was my last betta (Azula) then I'd definitely shy away from tankmates, but I think Khaleesi would do well with some shrimp in her tank since she's so curious and craves stimulation.

Is the tank too small for that bio-load? I know that nano shrimp tanks are a thing. But is four gallons plus a betta too cramped?

smallpetrespect

This popped up on my Twitter. My betta knowledge is minimal in comparison to my bird knowledge, but 25% once a month CANNOT be good in those tiny bowls pet stores sell. Fishblr, please shine a light on this misinformation.

aquasplendens-deactivated202411

Oh HELL no

somefin-fishy

Lol I do a 50% water change every other week for my four gallon.

Maybe this works if you have one betta in a twenty gallon with heavy planting and a good filter. But even then.

Lol@a fish keeper on FB.

They want to wait until their fish is healthy to add salt to their aquarium.

Lolwut.

You don't salt a healthy aquarium.

You only do salt baths for a sick fish. (At least, I personally don't believe in salt baths as preventative measures because they can fuck with the slime coat on the fish...)

I mean, they are using a broad-spectrum antibiotic now that their whole 20-gallon tank is infected with "white spots."

But just... ugh...

How can people be so uneducated!

(Mind you, this person thought that Khaleesi was male because she has long anal fins, totally disregarding her very prominent egg spot. And they didn't know that you can't keep male and female bettas together!!!!!!!)

I want to find Khaleesi a boyfriendfish. She looks so lonely in her tank. And- I think she’s starting to show fertility stripes!!!!!! I’d totally, obviously, name the boy fish Drogo lol.

Alas, I don’t have room for all of the fishy babies that they’d make. So it’d be as tragic as the real Khaleesi’s family life. D8

Tail-biting Anon from Kai's blog: thank you for the suggestion! I'm ready using a conditioner with stress coat, but I'll definitely give him some aquarium salt baths!

Good, good!

At least you're using Stress Coat already. It's the only water conditioner I use. I swear by it.

And yeah, with two tail-biters, my first almost completely biting off her tail and even part of her dorsal fin, I have never dealt with an infected tail/fin. And I am very proud of that.

Best of luck with your baby! <3

BETTA FINS SUDDENLY RAGGED AND MISSING HUGE CHUNKS. TAIL BITING SUSPECTED >:( WHAT DO?

I would also suspect tail biting… try re-arranging his tank, changing his diet, maybe interacting with him as much as you can. but honestly it’s hard to beat a tail biter :C

somefin-fishy

If you don't already use it, try adding Stress Coat. It didn't help my first tail-biter, but it helped get rid of my second's biting habits completely.

And even if the fish doesn't stop, it will speed up the healing a bit. Do occasional baths in aquarium salt to prevent infection, but keep it just for a few days, so that way the fish's immune system doesn't start to suffer from the salt.
