After starting out with a betta in a half gallon plastic tank at the start of my dorm life last year I have now become a slightly obsessive fish keeper. I've looked through ALL of this thread at one point or another trying to find inspiration and now it's my time to share too!
Right now I have a 1.5 gal and 10 gal tank up and running. In my 1.5 is Prince, a purple halfmoon I got last year, since then he has lost his gorgeous fins sadly. And recently I thought I was going to euthanize him since he wasn't looking healthy but he bounced back and I couldn't go through with it since he's like a little pet to me now~
In my 10 gal I have the crowntail in my avatar that I bought when I thought that Prince was going to kick the bucket, a mystery snail that Prince began to pick on, and two male fancy guppies. (none of the 10 gal fish have names yet, guh) Don't worry, I realized the possible risks involved with bettas and guppies but I wanted to try, and so far everyone seems fine. The betta only chases them a little ways when they are too close to him, and any nibbles that he's gotten hasn't damaged their fins. My plan though is to get 2 corys and 1 or 2 more guppies for the tank. And if the guppies don't work I'll get Neon Tetras instead. I'm curious, what do you guys think of that stocking?
Oh, and with the tanks was a homemade divider I wanted to use to give Prince a small section of the 10 gal since I only have one heater, but the CT would not let up on flaring so I decided against that.
