Did you cycle the tank? There are quite a few bubbles in the picture.

Yo, getting shrimpies for my 2g fluval spec soon.
Shrimpiiiiiies!
I've never been able to have shrimp 'cause my barbs would eat them lol.
But now I have a tiny lil 2g too small for almost anything but shrimp
Trying to get some blue velvets.

Well these aren't fish but.....
I'm getting either a Budgetts frog or an ACF (African Clawed Frog) by the end of the week! I like Budgetts more but my wallet like ACFs more. I mean the ACFs are $47 cheaper (Only $3!) and I could get two but I feel like Budgetts have so much more personality! Plus, Budgetts are quickly falling out of the pet trade, this may be my only chance to get one. The pet store said they weren't sure if they'd ever get another shipment of Budgetts. Thoughts?

I just lost one of my bettas; he somehow managed to wedge himself into an ornament and I think he drowned ;n; RIP Frost. He was only around a year old too..

I'd like to try something other than a betta in the tank; it's a 2.5 gallon. I know that doesn't have a lot of options. Any ideas?

Yup, it's cycled. Not sure what's up with the bubbles, may have something to do with the heat? I've read that as water warms up in an aquarium it can cause tiny bubbles to form on the sides. They're gone now though.

I hope you're not planning to keep two ACFs together? They're aggressive and you can't house two in the same tank together.
How large is your tank? I personally love ACFs, so as long as your tank is at least 20 gallons, I'd say go for an ACF.

I don't want to sound rude, but your completely off on saying that ACFs can't be housed together. In a 20 gallon long, you can comfortably house 3 together with no problems. If you house them with anything smaller than them, then yes, they will become aggressive but If they are with their own species, they will be fine. Check out www.frogforum.net and it'll tell you everything I said.

My tank is a 20 gallon long. I'll be using sand for substrate either way, and add some live plants.

Ah, sorry, I'm a little off today >.< I was thinking of ACFs with other species. My apologies! Yup, that sounds fine.

We all have those days! I don't know which I want though. It's probably going to be one of those days where I pick at the pet store! Whichever speaks to me I guess!

2.5 gal, in liters that's like, 9.something liters. Shrimps? There are also some very small rasboras(1,5-2 cm long), but I'm not super familar with them or what size tank is recommended for them in general. I also know of one person, who had some in 20L and ended up giving them away, because the males would take mini territories and chase away other fish from those areas. And that was quite well planted tank, which usually helps to keep up the peace.
Other than those, I can't think of anything else to put in...


Did little test today. I've been wondering if it's just the corries that feel vibrations from the floor. So I tested my blue neons. I stuck piece of food tablet on the tank wall, so they'd come out of hiding and stay in the open. Then let them eat for bit, walked to the other edge of the room, shut down the room's light(they can't see me so well then I've noticed) and waited again for bit. Then stomped my heel down(on carpet) and boom fishies spook a way. So it seems even tetras do feel vibrations coming from the floor, even if it's not coming from right next to the tank.
Also did some re-planting and moved the tree piece little bit. I've come to the point with my tank, that I no longer have space to plant all my cutlings. :c I was so supposed to bring that empty tank to my room during the holidays and start using it as plant tank and maaaaaybe try and breed the blue neons. But nooo, had to break the stupid bone. XP
