chibikaie Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I sold my planted community and rehomed most of the fish, lost the rest the next day (suspecting something in water supply or accident with family members cleaning nearby). I wound up euthanizing my old female betta later that week as she was doing horribly. Now I just have a planted 5.5 gallon with just a few ramshorns (can't decide if it should be a betta tank or a shrimp tank) and a tub of marmokrebs. No fish. And I'll be pretty much living at work next month, so it would be horribly irresponsible to get more fish now. But I still miss feeding my betta, giving my idiotic guppies dirty looks, and poking around the tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I like my fish, but am now looking at selling them off. I thought I wanted to get into them more, and now I find I just want to expand my shrimping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I had fish for years freshwater and marine and I don't know what happened to me but I want no part of fish. Something about the shrimp I actually think I am addicted! countryboy12484 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfishlady Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I have 3 bettas and a first shrimp tank. I do adore my bettas, they are like dog/fish in their personalities I had a 20 gallon community tank that I was so excited about and it was nothing but a constant headache. I wanted to branch out from my bettas and won't be doing it with fish again. I got home from a rough day today, went and said 'hi' to the bettas (and the cat) and then ended up sitting in front of the snowball tank watching them in their little world. Before I knew it I was smiling and 20 mins were gone. So.. I'm sticking to a couple of bettas and ... already planning my next shrimp tank But it's you and up to you so good luck either way! mosspearl and Pika 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I honestly like both, if you want you could do a shrimp and fish tank,if you upgrade to a 10g you could get a ottocinclus after algae builds up, and a few lest killifish, but make sure its heavily plants with moss and other plants. mosspearl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibikaie Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Thanks everyone. It's been such a weird month for me. I really want to get back into shrimp, but I'm just afraid that my ill luck with invertebrates will be their doom. Well, I have a lot of time to daydream about tanks before I'll be able to get anything up and running, so I suppose committing to anything now would be silly anyway. aquariumlover10 and mosspearl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
