Bird, you have to have the right soil/substrate first of all. And then you have to either find someone local who will give you cuttings of their established plants, or order online (I recommend ModernAquarium if you do this, I've never had a bad order.) and then once they are established you have to trim them and keep them maintained so they don't overgrow. Sometimes that means throwing extras away, sometimes that means replanting them... if that makes sense.

Bird,
I do not, Paarthurnax passed just before my move to Tennessee. However, he had a 20 gallon tank all to himself, which a ton of silk plants and caves.

@Versa, do you currently have a betta? What size tank is he in?

I ended up only with a few moss balls because my betta that I tried live plants with had serious beef with these inanimate objects lol

My sisters betta was 6 when he passed. I had one live to be 4 before he passed. Im curious how long Fishy will live

Live plants are an insane amount of work, but sooo worth it. Also, if you like houseplants like pothos/monstera they can be grown above the water column! Their roots LOVE the fish water.

Bro, mine would flare and go bonkers through his entire tank every time it turned off! It was hilarious. But I had to have it off sometimes to clean up the tank lol

@Versa, I have heard bettas typically only live 2 years. =/

Hahaha Versa! Nalo was the opposite! He didn't like his bubbler, so it got turned off. He has to put up with the sponge filter bubbles, though, which is probably why he hangs out at the HOB filter!

My oldest betta lived almost until 8 years, it was wild. Named him Paarthurnax because he just, seemed eternal lol

I did silk plants in mine with driftwood

Live plants are wonderful for bettas. If not live, silk is also good. Just never hard plastic, they tend to tear their flowy fins on them

I miss having fish. I had two male bettas (seperate tanks obviously). One had tetra friends and the other had guppy friends. I also had snails in there. Their tanks were huge. I miss them <3

I was planning on a sponge filter. I am not turned off by water changes once a week. I am mostly just deciding if I should do live plants IF I get a betta.

I also got a bubbler which he went absolutely ballistic about every time I turned it off. If it wasn't on, he was so mad lol

I have a betta with snails in a 20 gallon. It stays pretty clean

Fluffy Tails?! March 17, 2019 07:40 PM

Okay, so I'm starting to train my mare for halter classes, and need help getting a fluffier, flowier tail (If that makes sense??). Today I spent like, an hour brushing through her tail, braiding, and re-braiding while she grazed around my yard and helped with Easter decorating. If you know any good products I should look for while shopping for summertime bath stuff over the coming weeks, let me know.

Any help would be appreciated, and if it's requested, I can get pics of her helping to finish decorating tomorrow (For the heck of it).

EDIT: Could also use shampoo ideas!

i love cowboy magic detangler! Also To make it thicker try not to braid to tight and don't brush it out with a mane and tail brush use a hard brush!

Do you know the price? And would it work with both a wide tooth and a smaller tooth comb? It's a half wide/half smaller tooth comb. And by thickness, do you mean the tail? Because it's not an issue until you get closer to the bottom, so I might trim it.

For a 32oz bottle 44.95 but is worth Every penny! I don't recommend combs as it breaks off the hair and cause damage also it thins the tail. A lot of people in halter the tail stops at the fetlock so don't trim it to short. What halter discipline is this English or western ? Edit: And for shampoo Mane and tail works great! I use conditioner too!

I personly always use babyshampoo on my horses, tail and body.
You also can get Children/Baby Detangler!

Everything that is for a baby is ok for a horse, even my vet keeps telling me that lol
