Stocking suggestions for a 5 gallon.

I have a 75 gallon saltwater and yes the expencse is horrible. Ive spent about 2 grand since december when i set it up. Finally its getting somewhere though. It only has one fish but has a few corals and neat creatures. Maybe i could try to psot a picture if you guys want to see it. -tl

 

Yeah I would love to see pictures of your saltwater tank.

 

I'd love to see pics as well. Chelle, are most snails only used for decoration? How big do mystery snails get?

 

Mystery snails are a type of apple snail so it's possible for them to get the size of a small apple. But when kept in warmer temperatures they have a shorter lifespan and don't get as large. I think my largest one is about 1 3/4" in diameter.

I mainly keep them because I think they're cool looking and interesting to watch, but in the fry tank they do help eat any leftover food.

Sounds good.

 

word! i have the same tank.. and right now in a smaller tank i have my african dwarf frog and my male betta. i want to add something to it when i put them in the 5g and set it up.. but i just dont know what..

 

Wonderful pictures! My Betta, Moby, just died after a long reign of 4 years. I really miss having one, but haven't had the heart to replace him yet....

 

Sorry to hear about your betta. 4 years is extremely good for a betta so at least you know you gave him a really good, long life.

yea, like t_chelle said, that is good......arnt bettas usually put "on the market" when they aer at least 8 months old? if so, your might have been around 5 years old :y_the_best:
