It’s called AquaticLog, and it’s a mobile app that keeps track of just about anything you’d want to in an aquarium.

You get at-a-glance information from your latest logged tests as soon as you open the app, which includes warnings if your parameters stray out of the range you set!

It keeps record of every test you log, and allows you to add notes on each test. It also graphs your tests so you can easily see how they change over time!

It also keeps track of water changes, livestock, dosing, feeding, what products you use, just about anything you could need. You can add multiple tanks, and it’s set up to cater to any aquarium type, not just reefs.

Welcome to paradise

Me for the next 3 hour to an unsuspecting crowd:

So after 4+ years of keeping Shy Fish I Hardly Ever See Unless I Sit Still For 5 Minutes, I’ve added a small school of Fish That Are Definitely Not Shy.

After an oopsie with my hob filter that resulted in it ending up broken, I upgraded to an Eheim 350 pro 4+. I have wanted to upgrade to a canister but was putting it off till I had a little more money put away, with the hob breaking I decided to upgrade sooner than later.

Annnd as promised, here’s that write-up on betta genetics and what’s wrong with all those pretty genes. We’ve got pictures and everything. This is a full, comprehensive list of the various problems with domestic betta traits. If you’re in the market for a new angry pal, then there’s a list of “good” things to look for in a betta at the end.

Just a quick intro before we begin: I’ve been into fishkeeping for over a decade, I currently have 16 running tanks ranging from 5 to 440 gallons, I’ve got about 200 fish at the moment, and I’ve had a good 20 to 25 bettas of my own over the years. When I was younger, I even bred a pair of pet store veiltails together, and reared some of the fry into adulthood. So, this is information coming from someone has both seen these things firsthand and talked with many, many other betta keepers who have done the same.

This is my new betta, Embezzlement. He looks great, right? He really does! But he’s also quickly going blind as a result of his thickened scales growing over his eyes, his fins will end up dragging him down to the point of immobility as he ages, and he’s at high-risk for developing visible tumors all over his body. I’ll get into that under the cut!
