I don't really have any pictures readily available for posting on here (yes, I'm too lazy to upload them from my phone to somewhere I can post from), but I recently got a male Crowntail betta. He's my first real attempt at keeping aquatic life, but I try to spoil him (in a good way).
He currently has a 5-gallon tank all to himself with filter, heater, gravel, plants, a "lotus lounger" which essentially is something that sits a little under the surface of the water so he can rest on it if he likes, and a log hide.I try to rotate his diet with what I have. Depending on the day, he gets betta pellets, betta flakes with dried krill, exotic fish flakes (a trial pack came with the tank when I purchased it), or even frozen-thawed bloodworms!
I just love how curious he is. His tank sits nearby my bed, which is often where I will study. He could be on the opposite side of the tank, but if he sees me move suddenly outside of my normal studying movements, he will swim over and watch me for a bit. He also gets really excited when he sees me after I've been gone all day because he knows it's feeding time.
Agh, now I want to post pictures of my boy. I guess I might return to show some pictures of him and his set up. I love him more than I ever thought I'd love a fish. |

Okay, I have a little 10G tank.
I have this plant, its supposed to be in deep sand, but I have rock and my Yo-Yo likes to uproot them. So, they're just a floating plant mass at the top of my tank.
I don't have a filter, though the tank is clear. Like, really clear for not having a filter.
I have seven fish in there: -Two Comet goldfish -Three common Plecostomus -One Yo-yo loach -And some little catfish thing. It's super tiny and fat.
They are all very healthy, none are gasping, no parasite or anything. But the goldfish just don't seem as active as I expected them to be....could that mean that something could be wrong, or are they just really boring fish? XD
And I've really been wanting to scape the tank, put actual dirt and real wood and rocks. But I don't have time or money. So it makes me sad when I see a fake dragon in there and a Spongebob pineapple. |

Common Plecos can reach lengths of up to 24” and need tanks with hundreds of gallons. Comet Goldfish can also reach lengths of about 18” if not more. Loaches need to be in groups of about 6 or more. So, overall, your tank is very, very, VERY poorly stocked which is probably resulting in the low activity. I’m not the one to decide what you do with your tank, but I do recommend that you do some researching for the well being of your fish. |

Could an axlotl possibly live in a 10 gallon or a 20 gallon tank? |

I'd do minimum 20, but you can start at 10 if it's just small. Adult size needs around 20 and water parameters are easier to manage in bigger aquariums anyway.
Be forewarned unless your house stays consistently pretty cool you are also likely going to need a chiller, which can be expensive. |

My mom likes it really cold, so it wouldn't be a problem. How much do chillers usually cost?

Got two new fiddler crabs tonight. No Old bay for these guys lol. Excited to see how they turn out as I've never kept any before.
Planning on posting pictures of all the setups soon. :D |

I like them. Is this a salt water tank, or a fresh water. |
