Hello all!
Alright, so I've officially made the move to college with my 10g. If you can't tell by the picture, my tank is heavily planted. So, after being here for about three months, I finally see this bugger around my fish tank. It is huge! It actually surprises me that I have never seen it before, considering I have red cherry shrimp in there that I see much more often. So I'm wondering what this little hitchhiker is and if I have anything to worry about with it.
Also, I have a concern with one of my bettas. This is my first time owning bettas, and the genius in me decided to create a sorority of females. Of course, after owning cichlids for so long, I figured it wouldn't be that hard to care for these bad boys. Now, there is no aggression due to the heavy planting. However, I'm concerned about one of my females. She has been very lethargic lately and her abdomen has been more swollen than it usually is. I've been watching her rigorously for dropsy, but her she just doesn't LOOK that part. My water parameters are just fine and the other bettas are active and feisty just as usual.
