Acclimation:
Temperature Match: Ensure the water in the bag/container your Betta came in is at the same temperature as the tank water.
Float the Bag: Float the sealed bag in the tank for about 15-20 minutes to let the water inside adjust to the tank temperature.
Water Mixing: Gradually add small amounts of tank water to the bag over the next 15-20 minutes to help the Betta adjust to the new water parameters.
Release: Gently net the Betta out of the bag and release it into the tank. Avoid adding the water from the bag into the tank to prevent any diseases from spreading.
PHOTOS: We try best to take nice photo to show best aspect of the fishes but our photo is no edit.

Guppy grass (Najas guadalupensis) is a popular and versatile aquatic plant often used in aquariums and ponds. Here are some care tips for guppy grass:
-
Lighting: Guppy grass can thrive in a wide range of lighting conditions, from low to high. However, moderate lighting is generally ideal for promoting healthy growth and preventing algae overgrowth. Avoid placing it directly under intense lighting, as this may cause it to melt or develop algae issues.
-
Substrate: Guppy grass can be planted in the substrate, but it can also be left floating. If you choose to plant it, a nutrient-rich substrate can promote faster growth. However, it can also grow well in inert substrates. Floating guppy grass can provide additional cover and grazing areas for fish.
-
Water Parameters: Guppy grass is quite adaptable to various water parameters. It can tolerate a wide range of pH levels, from acidic to alkaline, and temperatures between 64°F to 82°F (18°C to 28°C). Ensure good water quality by performing regular water changes and monitoring nutrient levels.
-
CO2 and Fertilization: Guppy grass can grow well without CO2 supplementation or heavy fertilization. However, providing a balanced liquid fertilizer can promote healthier growth and vibrant green coloration, especially in nutrient-deficient tanks.
-
Water Flow: Guppy grass prefers moderate water flow. Ensure adequate water circulation in the aquarium without creating strong currents that may uproot the plants. In ponds, gentle water movement is also suitable.
-
Pruning: Regular pruning helps control the growth of guppy grass and prevent it from overcrowding the aquarium. Trim excess growth with scissors to maintain the desired shape and prevent shading of other plants.
-
Compatibility: Guppy grass is compatible with most freshwater aquarium fish and invertebrates. It provides hiding places for fry and small fish and can help improve water quality by absorbing excess nutrients. However, some fish species may nibble on or uproot the plants, so observe their behavior carefully.
-
Propagation: Guppy grass propagates readily through stem fragments. Simply trim healthy stems and replant them in the substrate or allow them to float. They will quickly root and establish themselves, forming dense mats over time.
Overall, guppy grass is an excellent addition to aquariums and ponds, providing aesthetic appeal, oxygenation, and habitat for aquatic organisms. With minimal care, it can thrive and contribute to a healthy aquatic ecosystem.
