My 20 gallon is an Aqueon, my 40 is a Marineland (I think). I love them both. And if you buy them new, stores will have a return policy on them in case a seam leaks or theres a crack you can't see.

The only time I recommend buying second-hand is if you're purchasing a large tank and are willing to learn how to reseal it. Otherwise, it's cheaper (and safer) to buy from a store!

Oh also, I heard betta fish like shallow water so does that mean something as tall as 12" is too tall for them?

Do you guys have any tank brand recommendations? I definitely need one with a lid.

They are great for supplies! Our LFS actually partners with them because of how much they recommend them.

I was thinking of ordering supplies from this company. I have heard good things and they have good guides.

Checkout used tanks often people will be nearly giving them away, just make sure to fill it up outside first for a few days to make sure it’s not leaking. Never take a tank with cracks even if they’re small and are current ply holding water

Or, you can typically do it cheaper by piecing it together yourself. Tank, light, cover(optional), heater, filter, air pump, airline hoses, bubble wand, substrate, and then obviously decorations (nothing plastic) and the fish.

I reccomend tetras as well, you want a lot 10-20 as theyre schooling fish and they have a high casualty rate especially when you first get them

You can get a 20 gallon tall kit at most pet stores for about $200 that will include just about everything except substrate, plants, and fish.

Bird, I loved my tetras, I believe I had the 2 for 4/5 years? But do be weary when you get them, I originally had 4 but unfortunately we lost 2 very shortly after due to the 'professionals' we talked with I'll informing us on the best amount for our tank!

Should always try our best with animals. Research is worth it

Like with anything it takes a lot of research (and it's a bit of an investment) to do things right.

Bettas are definitely able to get away with a 10. I just wouldn't go lower, they explore and swim around way more than people realize

Bird, Unfortunately I never got to try a planted tank, but I've heard amazing things! I do really wish I'd had time to lol

For preferably a smaller tank. Less than 20 gallons.

Okay, here we go. I would like whatever art tips you have, I am not asking for the big universe secret (but if you'd like to share I'll listen ;)) just some little tips for beginners, things you wish you knew, if you found a way if doing something that's amazing.
-
I am asking more specifically for body prep type things, because I am attempting digital painting.
I've dappled a bit in manips, and lineart and did so-so in both, but a bit better in lineart. I am not an artistic person, I hated art class in school, and only took it once in middle sy, because I had to. I am finding myself having to train my eyeballs to see things they don't want to see. It's quite difficult. I kinda found my place with palettes, but really want to make art, so *sigh*. I have watched tons of youtube videos and have read a bunch of deviantart tutorials, and am just waiting on ref pictures before I start, I have started a few piece but haven't made it to shading yet, as I can't figure it out. I am also challenging myself to not use smudge as I want them as realistic as possible. I'm really hoping a make a thing out of this.
-
Anyway, thanks for reading my rant, and body prep, even lineart, shading, highlighting, hair, markings, etc tips are greatly appreciated.

I use Procreate, though these tips may work with Ibis as well;
For the basic body prep, I use the horse stock, and make it transparent over top of the horse I'll be using. This helps me outline the basic shading. For my hair I actually use a brush that Procreate provides, so that's a bit easier. I would suggest playing around with the brush transparency a little, see if that makes your hair look softer.
For my white markings, if they're small, I just turn up the brightness. If they're bigger I trace them out, then shade them one I've done the base colour.
