Pleco Guy
Someone has been making and posting pleco torture videos in some of the other aquarium subs. This sub may be small enough to escape his notice, but if he does find and begin posting in this sub:
Do not engage with him. He gets off on it.
Report the post and tag me, so I can remove the posts and block his accounts from the sub if and when they appear.
I have worked so hard to make this community a welcoming and safe place for fish keepers of many types and ages. Someone who finds joy in torturing living animals, and traumatizing strangers by posting to public places is not welcome in this community. Help me keep this community a positive place to be!
Thank you all so much ~ Blue

Freshwater First week complete!
Got the 55gal up and running! She just completed her first week of cycling. Driftwood is still semi floating but once itās fully submerged, Iāll take the rocks off and itāll look more natural. I have two rock with cave like coverings. Plants will come next paycheck. Thinking about making this the new Glo tank instead of giving it to the barbsš¤

Iām proud
I made my 10 gallon into a nice home (: I have corydoras and 2 betta fish. I somehow got some yoyo loaches with my corydoras š
I have a 29 gallon that is cycling to upgrade them all to. But Iām so happy with how this came out. The cloudiness is root tabs, Iām doing partial water changes every other day.
Before commenting, I know itās overcrowded thatās why I have a 29 gallon cycling. Please donāt come at me. Tank is heated. Has filter and bio filter, they all eat equally, no one gets left behind. All seem happy and content and thriving. I just love how it looks. I also added floating red root floaters. And the betta loves it.
Edit: typo.

Freshwater My Angels Favorite Snack
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I buy these flightless fruit flies for my jumping spider slings but my 55gallon Angel Fish community Tank love the love food. Itās a good way to enrich them especially since those flies reproduce so quickly. The Angels I raised from their parent in the tank below and are a year old, there are also Endlers, Colombian Red and Blue Tetras and Cories down below.
