Alright, I know it's been way to long since my last post. Sorry, I'm just horrible at keeping up with posting on my blog. (February 2012 was the most recent post on any of my other blogs, I'm doing good here!)
First some exciting news. I found a $30 65 gallon tank at goodwill last month! Which I, of course, bought. This is going to be my South American Biotope now.
Eventually it will have this stocking:
Plants:
Amazon Sword
Green Cabomba
Water Sprite
Dwarf Hairgrass
Dwarf Pennywort
Jungle Vallisneria (Red if I can find it!)
Fish:
2 Bolivian Rams
10 Glowlight tetras
10 Rummynose tetras
1 Angelfish
8 Corydoras Melini
2 Albino Bristlenose Plecos
My 55 gallon tank will be my Platy breeding project! I am going to divide it three ways - Males, Females, and Fry.
Lastly (for now) I am entering my family dog into the POTM (Pet of the Month) competition on the Fish Forum :) Here are the pictures
Isn't she cute?? :)
Now this is "Betta Shark's fish zone". I will be using this blog as a journal of my fish that you can read! I will be trying to post once a week on this blog for the rest of 2012, and maybe I'll get into the habit of posting once a week and continue into 2013! :) I hope you like my fish!

Guppy
Emmett Flare one of my guppies may be sick. I was hoping when I asked the TFF members about it they'd say it was normal, and I was just inexperienced, so I didn't know what was normal with guppies. Unfortunately, they told me he might be sick. His tank mates Damon, and Stefan weren't acting like that, which is part of the reason I was so worried about it. Now I'm glad I was. Someone told me that most guppies with what they think he has don't last very long, so it's a good thing I caught it quickly! Though it might also be a "mating dance" and he might be fine. So what I've decided to do is feed him a pea, which is what you're supposed to feed fish with swim bladder problems, and see if he gets better. That's right all I can do I guess. I tried to upload a video, but it refused to cooperate.
Update on my other fish. Kathrine still hasn't given birth, I'm almost starting to get worried about her, but she's probably fine, and I'm probably just paranoid. (<-- not surprised!) Muddy the L444 Pleco (I love that common name, L444...) is a girl I think! I need to see it out of the cave I gave it this morning to really be able to tell, it was chasing the platys out of it's cave when I first put it in there. Lexi is closer to giving birth than Tara, in a week or so. Tara, I give her about two more weeks, so she should (hopefully) be in the big tank by then. Stefan wants to be friends with Elijah. Elijah hates the world right now because I put him in the guppy tank because he was annoying the prego female platys. Damon, and Stefan are actually friends! They're brothers. They don't nipped fins, or chase each other, they play together like circling around each other. It's pretty interesting! They love the filter. Toph enjoyed swimming near the gravel vacuum when I was cleaning the tank this morning, then swimming away, she's fun to watch.
