Saw this little guy when I opened the hatch for feeding Goliath.

Neat!

However, I do believe that i is a damselfly

She* is welcome then

Don't let it lay eggs!Q

awww it is fine .. it is the dragon fly nymphs that are a danger

I would think if it sits on the water to long it will become food

I really like all your plants in there. They're very pretty.

Thanks! Here is a FTS:

That's absolutely gorgeous! I can imagine you have one very happy fish.

Thanks! Well, I think he likes it best because he's alone. He's a grumpy old coot! Lol

wow i wish i could get my dp tank to look like that

I have always really loved planted tanks, but was always intimidated to try one. So I got really stubborn and went for it. I looked at lots of pictures and did research, but I still had problems along the way:
1. The unethical practice of Petco and Petsmart selling terrestrial plants as aquatic plants. My first planted tank attempt was a hot mess of that dwarf sagitaria and the 2 amazon swords being the only actual aquatic plants, a mess of algae and decomposing terrestrial plants.
2. I didn't really do enough research on fertilizing and when I set up the 75 gallon, I was under dosing and had another mess of hair and fuzz algae.
3. I didn't know I had such ridiculously soft water, so RTR helped me with what I need to do to remedy that.

The only issue I have now in the 75 gallon is diatoms, but it's nothing major and I expect the snails to take care of it once they establish themselves a bit more.

a betta with a 75 gallon all to himself? thats like his own country in betta terms lol


look at the cute little sleeping balki!

My goodness no! His tank is 10 gallons!
