How to: Moss Wall??

This is an idea I've been thinking about for a while now so this is more of a hypothesis than a tutorial lol

Okay! So there is a way to get a moss carpet started by using string to tie moss to a small square of window screen.

That's the bitch.

I want to expand this idea

So a piece of window screen the size of the back wall of the tank. Place all kinds of moss and epiphyte plants, like java fern and anubias, by using a needle and string to secure moss and super glue to secure the epiphyte plants.

Use suction cups to secure the whole thing to the glass

Add accent rocks in the back to make it look more natural idk

Like I said in a different post you can use cyanoacrylate super glue to attach plants to something, or secure string.

Apparently this is already a thing, but I think it'd be cooler with a bunch of different plants instead of just one type of moss.

‘The Infinite World Of Multicolours’

A2/A1 High Quality Posters are available for Order with Mailing. Kindly contact for orders.

Ever-changing and always unique, the world of multicoloured HMPK will never stop giving life to beautiful, rare combinations of colour. Possibly the most loved and confusing variation of Betta in the last 3 years, genetic combinations have proved to be a canvas for painting your dream Betta. Always unduplicatable.

Understanding the Naming:

The world of multicolour fish presents a naming challenge with the sheer diversity and overlapping of genetic types. Commonly used names are Nemo, Candy, Emerald or just ‘Multicolour’. Let’s take a closer look at slight differences for the naming conventions for the similarly styled fish.

Rule No.1: What makes a Nemo/Candy/Emerald? First and foremost, what sets these apart from a regular marble is ONE Rule. The rule being: The fish in any combination should have the presence of either Red or Yellow, Red or Orange or all of the three colours present in the Base Layers.

Nemo: A Nemo can be viewed as a full coloured Koi with the presence of either Red or Yellow, Red or Orange or all of the three colours present in the Base Layers. Using the naming of ‘Nemo’ groups these fish that present a clean, marbled rich look without the focus on the iridescent/scaling layer. The cleaner the better. At times the iridescent layer can be bred to present a patter on the scales which compliments the fish as a whole. Eg. Galaxy or Samurai Variations. A good Nemo should have a rich, full, well-marbled base colour easily seen by the eye; uncovered by too much iridescent layer. The body marbling should be either large blocked or well splattered. The focus of the colour is the Body.

Nemokoi: Same as above 'Nemo’, though presenting Cellophane patching akin to a standard koi variation.

Emerald: An Emerald fish should have the following traits: 1) The presence of either Red or Yellow, Red or Orange or all of the three colours present in its fins. 2) Non-focus on the base colour layer of the body. 3) Majority of the body covered by iridescent layer. The focus of the colour is Finnage.

Candy: A true Candy should have the presence of all 3 base layer colours: Yellow, Orange and Red with black being an optional presentation to taste. It should also have a presence of a strong base layer in patterning on the body and/or lacing on the fins. The iridescent layer should have a minimum of two colours, present in a galaxy variation or well laced. The minimum requirement for a true candy is 5 colours. The focus of the colouration is the overall fish.

This is why I love marble bettas so much. There’s just an endless sea of possibilities. Of course, there are even more varieties not mentioned here. I tend to really like the above examples because most of them lack that white dragonscaling that seems to cause so much problems in the blue and fancy marbles that are more readily available.

New Betta

Meet my new Betta, Parzival (named after the character in Ready Player One, one of my favorite movies/books). I got him on May 21, 2019 at Petco. He is one of the spunkiest Bettas I’ve ever had, and he’s a joy to watch. Here’s his color progression over the past couple of weeks, which is actually pretty drastic. Videos to come soon!!

Come august I'm blowing like $600 bucks on new aquarium plants for my birthday lol

This probably will be the last update since the tank is running nicely. I like how everything has grown in and learned some things I should do differently next time like trying to add more flow in the front, getting some algae there. This is a 2ish months time progress.
