Re: Finding the right soils
For the land portion, I think you'll find alocacea and calatheas do wonderfully in wet environments. Cryptanthus and caldiums are also worth considering, as they thrive in moist soil. Fittonia, or nerve plant, is another great option, and its unique foliage will add some visual interest. Hemigraphis ...

Re: Exploring the beauty of australian natives
Hi TFF,
I was out at the creek the other day, doing some 'recreational' fishing with nets, and stumbled upon some fish I'd never seen before. The creek's been bone dry for ages, but a recent storm filled it up, and I'm wondering if that's why these fish showed up. I'm pretty sure I caught some ...

Re: Exploring the beauty of australian natives
Your freshwater fish are a real treasure trove. I've been looking into some possibilities for the ones you caught, and I have to admit, I'm a bit envious. If I lived in Australia, I'm not sure I'd ever need to buy fish again.
I think you might want to check out Melanotaenia splendida and ...

Re: exploring longtail betta varieties: ethics and concerns
I've seen canvas males pop up in female betta tanks at my local pet store - to the point where they stopped stocking females together due to all the aggressive males they got, despite changing suppliers multiple times.
Honestly, I don't have a huge issue with long-finned bettas in a 5-gallon ...

Re: exploring longtail betta varieties: ethics and concerns
I've actually been considering some of the more exotic betta varieties, like the alien betta. I know they're not exactly natural, but they're really eye-catching and their fins are relatively short, so I'm guessing they don't have the same issues as some of the other types. I think if you're ...

exploring longtail betta varieties: ethics and concerns
I've been toying with the idea of getting another B. splendens, maybe a simple nano setup with some nice plants. Lately, I've been looking into longtail betta varieties. I'd love to keep a plakat in a bigger tank, but I don't think anything under 5 gallons would be ideal for such an active fish.
