The first pot is actually very good for a guppy as the way it is. Sure it's not "full" of plant to combat the fish waste, but look at the size of that big plant and look at how big the fish poop are (if u can). That massive plant root is basically an oversized filtration already.

About a month ago I removed my long fin Betta from my community tank as he wasn’t doing well with the water flow in there. He didn’t look good and his fins were raggedy and short. Put him in a temporary 3 gallon hospital tank and treated him with Betta Fix. Every week he looked better and better and every week lots of fin growth. He is all better now and I went and got a 10 gallon tank for him and some of his snail buddies. Since he is now in a 10 gallon, I placed an order with Aquarium Co-Op for a few additional plants for him. So happy he is doing well. I’ve now added a King Koi Plakat Betta to my community tank and since he is bigger and has short fins, he isn’t bothered by the flow in the tank and is doing great.

The name 'Dennerle' has emphasis on the first syllable and the last 'e' sounds like the other e's. Dennerle has sweet stuff. I'm using their aquasoil and a few other things. They have a whole range of aquarium stuff and they produce a lot of great plants as well.

I rarely disagree with you, but I believe the plant is more than sufficient for a couple guppies. Terrestrial plants have unlimited access to co2, if that plants grows well (and it looks damn healthy), it can easily handle the bioload and the substrate IS the filter. Plenty of room for bacteria to grow. Pretty OK setup in my eyes. If you compare it directly to your setup (with the floating plants and the pothos), your setup has by far less plantmass for nutrient absoption.

My mom is so supportive I now have like 7 different pond plants she got for free on craigslist and I love her but I don't have pond space. I literally only have space for the water lillies :')

i'd love to get into fishkeeping once i have enough space. And once I get the hang of maintaining water quality and everything else, I want to get two axolotls :)

Out of my three fish tanks, one 24 yo cockatiel, five cats and one dog, my dog is still my favorite. He's gone through a lot health wise but he's still a lovable goofus.

qotw- you have no idea what you're asking because in my house, it kinda rotates depending on who I am the maddest at. My all-time favorite dog was a really chill long-haired Chihuaha. He was the first dog I ever got as a grownup and it's been almost 4 years but I still miss that dude constantly. My favorite fish in general are bettas, but I'm really into my panda garra. Another one with a huuuuge personality :) she likes to sleep in those floating betta logs, anytime it gets stuck under the water filter flow. I didn't recognize it til like the 5th time she'd done it, because I was busy being concerned that the betta thing was stuck and the betta couldn't use it. I finally realized it was now her territory and to leave it the f alone, thanks. My current favorite cat is a new addition. Last Monday, I'm listening to an audiobook on my phone as I'm turning on my car. I hear a very frantic MEOW, so I turn everything back off and just listen for a bit. I go back inside, do a headcount of my cats. I come outside, look around the house to make sure there wasn't a cat stranded on my roof-- nothing. So I turn my car on, and immediate frantic tiny meows. It took almost 4 hours to get her out of my damn engine, but somehow she was completely uninjured and fine. She's too young for her first shots, but thankfully old enough to eat food. It was an irritating, very hot day, and I spent so much of it hysterical that I might have hurt a kitten...She's just going to have to deal with being fussed over and fed nonstop for awhile. I have no idea how I heard those meows over my book, and over my car engine starting, but I'm so very grateful I did.

I suggest something cool for your new tank like a giant betta, killifish, or some mud skipper's (if it's big enough) 😅❤

I think its fine how it is because the deep substrate consumes nitrates because of the anaerobic bacteria that can live in the low oxygen environment and emersed plants filter the water 10 times better then underwater grown plants and with such a huge plant its probably filtering the water really well, that being said they could have left a bit more room for water and still had the nice deep substrate if they didn't fill it up so much.

Honestly bristlenose are probably my absolute favorite fish, hope to one get one for my 40 breeder some day Won’t matter to me if they’re male or female, black or gold, just as long as they’re healthy (Also don’t worry about that gourami, I saw their long ventral find and that and the shape of their fins and body suggests to me they’re a female dwarf gourami) As for for my answer to the question, my cat Shadow. I am most definitely a cat person, I’ve loved all my kitties, and currently Shadow’s the only one we have left He used to be real shy but after becoming an only cat he became as loving (and demanding!) as his mom and brother, and is very much bonded to me, always lying on my bed… cats are definitely the best pets for me

1:21 I think there's a need to be deeper water and some floating plant. that big of a plant is likely enough to remove most nitate/ammonia from water from small amount of guppies. Extra aeration isn't necessary unless there's not enough surface area for oxygen exchange

Wanna get rid of your snails? Put your shrimp net in the bottom of the tank, with some food, like an algae wafer. Leave it overnight, and in the morning, your net will be full of snails. I suggest the shrimp net, because of the finer mesh.
