| 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! |

| Like with anything it takes a lot of research (and it's a bit of an investment) to do things right. |
| Versailles |
| 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 |
| Wings Of Glory |
| After 3 months of work and almost 20k down the drain my truck will finally be repaired and drivable tomorrow >_< proud of myself for not giving up |
| Dash and Duchess |
| 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 |
| Dash and Duchess |
| Exactly what charm said! It really makes things easier, and the fish love it too! |
| Backwood Barns |
| I will always recommend planted. It will also help keep your tank clean and water quality higher because plants remove nitrates/nitrites from the fish waste. |
| Dash and Duchess |
| Versa & Bird, gotta love plants and fishies! - Bird, you should! I made the mistake of not doing one with my tetras and I honestly regret it a bit xD |
| Backwood Barns |
| Um, I guess? They're alive, but they're not growing for him. They're only as big as they are because they thrived in my tank. So I guess my advice is to get an established piece? |
| Hummingbird Meadows |
| @DD, yes. I kind of want a betta fish. Trying to decide if I should do a planted tank. |
| Backwood Barns |
| Ironically, he can grow 10-feet long Jungle Val, and as soon as I take a few pieces of it, it dies in my tanks. So it's all about finding the plants that you can maintain and thrive in your tanks! |
| Backwood Barns |
| Bird, then you need to have a good piece of driftwood or lava rock to attach it to. But they still grow and require trimming! I have a giant anubias in my 135 that has been growing for 6 years on a large piece of driftwood. I can't seem to kill it, but I'll give pieces to my dad for his tank whenever I need to do maintanance and he can't get them to grow at all. Some pieces that are 3 years old are the same size as when I gave them to him. So... I'm not sure about that. I think they're easy and great plants. If you asked my dad he'd say they're pointless LOL |
