chloeclose Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Hi, I am from South Edmonton been here for 7 years before that I lived in Red Deer for 12 years, before that I lived in Lac La Biche for 12 years. I have been keeping fish for about 3 years now. It all started with one betta. Quickly became a Bettaholic... I currently have 8... 6 males and 2 grrrls. I then moved on to bigger tanks. My first tank is a 55g. It is heavily planted... 3 wpg. Mostly stem plants(alternanthera, various hygros, rotala wallicihi, egeria densa, ludwigia etc) bacopa anubias nana reg and petite, vallisneria, java fern, 1 giant sword, and dwarf sag. I plan to add a whole lot more in the near future trying ones I've never had the guts to try before. PLANTS ROCK!! It houses 2 angels, Dwarf Neon Rainbows, Black Fin cories, 3 SAE's, otos, Silvertip Tetras and Diamond Tetras. I am just in the process of figuring out my new pressurized CO2 thingy... nope I am definitely not technical in any way shape or form!! LOL I also have a 50g that houses 8 juvie angels. I raised them myself. Didn't really know what I was doing but it was a wonderful learning experience. Watching the fry develop was thrilling! This tank is currently being aquascaped, I hoping to keep this one fairly low tech and so far have planted with crypts, anubias and some lower requirement stems. This tank is 2 wpg. I have 6 3g 'tanks' for bettas, non-cycled, 100% w/c only. I have 2 cycled divided 10g's housing 2 bettas each. Hoping to get more 10 g's but having trouble affording them... I am also very into furry critters, I have a cocker spaniel and 2 cats. I am also a dog groomer, have been for 9 years. I have my own small business. I just recently took a course at Norquest in Dental Admin. and am currently trying to find full-time employment in this field. So that's me!!

Vallisneria Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Welcome to the board Sounds like you really like plants :P I used to have a fully planted 58g but a haorrible case of BBA made me totally reconsidered if plants were worth it. Now its mostly dirftwood and Java ferns with crypts(my favorite plants). I also have a 15g planted tank, which is a much easier to manage size for a planted tank IMPO. DO you have any pics?

Spinalcore Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Welcome I'm glad to see another betta fan on here. I currently have 2 Males and 3 females and my GF has the 2 males and 1 Female. Even my mom has 3 males and wants me to try bredding her's for her now that I have started breeding mine. I have to agree that planted aquariums are great all of mine are partially planted. More plants to come as I get my hands on them. I currently Have Java moss and fern, Cabomba, Wisteria, Duckweed and Some kind of Val or Stag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
