I do reef, I promise. Planted tank is a secret Shhhhhh.
I also raise discus.

How embarassing!

Don't feel bad, I breed Betta splendens. While I'm still an amateur by far, I've managed to raise a few fry.

Lots of people do saltwater and freshwater setups including fully planted aquariums that are outright stunning. There is nothing embarassing about it.

I also have freshwater aquaria, including planted ones. I breed tetras, Crossocheilus siamensis, etc. A relative of mine breeds show style Betta splendens (and Betta imbellis). Most people are ameteurs, unless they work with fish as a profession. The word simply means for the love (so you do it because you like doing it, not because it is a job).

You can also adapt guppies into saltwater.
They will produce as many fry for food as molly's.
But are smaller so take up less real estate in the tank.

I'm going to be acclimating a molly or two for my setup. The green hair algae has taken over completely.. Oddly enough, it does actually look good in some of the live rocks , where it looks like a tuft of grass!

Here's my dilemma. The original idea was to let the hair algae flourish and then I add a yellow tang and a blue tang to the setup. I thought the tangs will get used to the tank quicker and the stress might also be lowered because of the abundance of food. Is this a good theory??
