Big cleaning for Frodo and George while they’re still in precautionary mite jail!

Frodo is getting a few live plants to see how they fair and has many tubes as those are his favorite.

George is too much of a bulldozer so I didn’t attempt plants and I focused on giving her as much climbing opportunity as possible as that’s her favorite.

I have naturalistic substrate and isopods and springtails in my setups but the plants are fake so it’s not true bioactive. Doing a full substrate change every few months is necessary to get rid of ammonia that’s building up in the tank. It certainly was a project to do two 120 gallon enclosures as well as two 30 gallons but I’m very happy with how it all came together. I’m trying a play sand, top soil, eco earth, reptisoil, and whatever I had lying around mix and I’m hoping the kids like it. Already it seems to hold water very well and the water doesn’t just sit on the surface and run across the top but sinks down and keeps moist which is excellent

I have discovered my money sink. For some people, it’s videogames. Or neat toys. Or accessories. Or make-up.

For me, it’s new fish. XD

I COULDN’T RESIST THOUGH, LOOK HOW PRETTY HE IS!!!

Quill’s Aquarium Adventures - Update #8

His name is Poseidon! As according to my brother, the Percy Jackson series fanatic, all of my bettas must have Greek god names. XD He’s a really uniquely coloured half-moon! Almost like a blue mustard, but he has a lighter blue and paler cream fins with black ribs! 

Unfortunately, my dwarf frogs passed away a while ago. :c They ended up being too picky eaters to work with my community tank setup, and just... stopped eating without me realizing. ;n; But now I know not to keep them again, and I’m gonna do my best to take good care of my new fish!

LIKE LUCY. Lucy is my second weather loach, who I got because Losie (my male weather loach) was looking sad without a friend, and loaches are very social apparently. AND THEY’RE SO HAPPY TOGETHER, LOSIE IS SO MUCH MORE ACTIVE AND THEY SPAZZ SWIM ALL OVER THE PLACE TOGETHER. It’s beautiful. ;u;

I also have a bit of a new tank setup! I have two tinier tanks for my betta males (but don’t worry, I change the water everyday and monitor their temperatures well ^^), and I put a peace lily at the top of my 10 gallon! you can also see I’m rooting a silver bay aglaonema leaf in Ares’ tank. XD The lighting placement is temporary (as well as where the wires are), just until I can get a better light for them all. I’m also hoping to snatch up some new underwater plants when the local store restocks them!
