I've always been interested in salt water, but it seems really inconvenient. Fresh water is so easy, and the plants make the water even better quality.
haha, I always buy plants I know are hardy XD I get low light plants like anubias, crypts, then I have a tiger lotus who didn't grow as well as I had liked and stayed bushy(pretty in it's own right)
They're actually neons, but SUPER happy neons. I was stunned to even find them spawning one day! Whenever I buy new live plants I rinse them very well, I look ALL over to make sure I didn't miss any snail eggs. I do have a few snails in the tank intentionally. I have three nitrites, one mystery snail, and I also added trumpet snails who are excellent and cleaning up any extra food. I also have ghost shrimp, and one three spot blue gourami I've had for many years.
Never had any problems with worms, hopefully I never will lol
I used to be super active on bettaforums, but stopped about 2 and a half years ago. never really looked for any other fish forums, know of any good ones?
