I used an image hosting website, like imgur. Be careful which you choose. I used tinypic from my phone and started getting pop ups afterwards. I ended up resetting my phone to factory to get rid of it, which is a bitch.
Yeah I think of these neons don't make it, I'll either try Cardinal tetras (if there are a few neons left I'll probably go this route as Cardinals will school with neons) or harlequin rasboras.After a neon tetra die off, My kid wanted some danio for whatever reason. He thought they looked cool and he liked their speed. Got four. One died immediately and another leapt out of the tank. Fuckin things sucked. The other two are cool. I like how they dart in and out of the plants. I’ll replace the other two.
I have loved my corys. They’re fun to watch and I love how they hang out with each other and get wild every once in a while.
I’m gonna get some snails next.
Totally should, then you can make some snail centipede jokes like this:I’m gonna get some snails next.

Also, my nerite snails seem to be reproducing in my tank despite that supposedly being rare?
Shrimp and tetra are gone. Not quite sure why on the tetra. Treated water every few days. 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite. Nitrate started at 5-10 and peaked at 40 right before a water change.
I think the shrimp became a snack for the gourami. Most were juveniles, so it makes a little bit of sense. Going to let my Java moss get a little bit bigger and then probably try again. There's a local guy selling blue dream shrimp for a couple bucks a pop. Will probably throw a 20 at him to see how more adult shrimp do with better hiding spots.
Here's my update...
I went through a phase of looking at more plants and liking a lot of them. I also ordered some moss that I would have either had to pay for shipping or get a few more plants with free shipping so the price would have been the same. Easy decision. Learned I'm not very creative or artistic in designing this shit.
Got some bloodfin tetras and they're doing well. Gouramis are doing well. Still have a few red cherry shrimp and picked up some blue dream shrimp from a local guy. I think if I were to start over, I'd just focus on a shrimp tank.
I do weekly 33% water charges. Dose Excel and thrive a couple times a week.
Still enjoying it.
