My first attempt at planting an aquarium. It's been tedious repeatedly draining the water to try to get clarity. Later I hope to order some nicer plants, but until I get a handle on keeping entry level alive this will do.

Looks nice. I could never be bothered to keep live plants in my fish tanks. The fish were enough work

I've always had fish and when I was little, I would buy plants and they would inevitably melt. I love the way the really green tanks look, with a carpet of grass, I hope to get that. Maybe some shrimp and one beta for this tank once it has cycled with clarity.

That sounds nice. Can you get a betta to leave other fish alone? I've never seen them peacefully coexist with anything.

I had a standard blue beta with angel fish and a pleco for years. However my daughter tried to put a koi beta with her angels and it didn't work. I don't know if I just got lucky with a lazy beta or if the koi variety is more aggressive.

There's a guy I've watched who keeps a beta and shrimp together, but he gives the shrimp lots of hiding places, so that is my aim as well.

I've seen those puffer fish in the same tank as a beta.
