I'm assuming you're talking about the alpacas. They make the funniest faces but I think they are so cute!😂 And they are very fluffy, so that's a bonus too!😊

Those are cute!

@clairebear3 Thanks! The tank is still pretty new, so the algae hasn't had much of a chance yet. But to prevent it from growing, I have a strong filter, put my light on a timer, and put lots of plants in. (Waiting for these ones to fill in, and I also got some more that I still have to plant) The plants will use up the nutrients that the algae needs to grow. I had some algae growing, but the snails have already taken care of most of it. Also, once I get fish, I'm going to be very careful not to overfeed them. My tank probably won't stay this clean for long, lol, but that's what I'm doing currently, and I hope it will keep most of the algae away. Hope this helps!

@@Honey_Bee_Homestead thank you!!

@x2joincircus LOL that's pretty accurate!😂

@@toastydarkskin I like those! The biggest one is pretty fast!

@mistergammer8799 For this tank, I used dirt and capped it with Seachem Flourite. For this tank specifically, I used Flourite dark because I really liked the colors. This is my first time attempting a dirted tank, so I can't speak for it long term, but so far, it's going really well. If you dont want to use dirt, just gravel would work well, and then you can supplement with fertilizer tabs. Personally, I stay away from sand because I had it in my last planted tank, and I think it just compacts too much, and my plants never did well with it. But then again, I've heard others who said they've had great success with sand. I've also heard good things about Fluval Stratum, but I haven't personally used it. A lot of it is personal preference and trial and error!

@@Honey_Bee_Homestead thank you

@@mistergammer8799 you're welcome!

@donnaleemontgomery8635 Haha, yes! And you don't even dare give them a bath, they'll find the dirtiest spot in the whole pasture to roll!🤣😂❤️

@user-ht3rp4op6d Yes, He is! 🙏

@@mohamedmessaoudi3112 lol yes mine have a small tree in their pasture that they've already eaten all the lower leaves off of and they try soooo hard to reach the higher ones!😂

@@Honey_Bee_Homestead true ! they do it with such determination 😂

Yeah lol, I'd like one too!

@daxxorous Hey! Thank you so much! The snail has since been taken out. Unfortunately, there must’ve been some eggs on the plants because I found some more. I didn't realize they'd eat plants! I plan on getting a mystery snail or two soon. Thanks so much for the info and the sub!😊

@@Honey_Bee_Homestead Hey bud the bladder snails will not eat living plants if you see them eating plants its because the leaf is dead and decaying they are a very good cleanup crew and a sign if the population explodes you may be overfeeding fish you can also get assassin snails as population control

​@Honey_Bee_Homestead Actually they only eat dying plants because they're attracted to the allellopathic compounds. Trust me, my tank is filled to the BRIM with plants and is "infested" with tadpole snails. They don't touch the plants and mostly eat algae, fish waste, and any melting leaves which is great because then you don't have to.kamually remove them

​@bigfroggy22 Ok thanks! As long as they don't eat my live plants I don't mind if they stay. There's still a bunch of really tiny ones in there.

​@@portercrane6655That's good to know, thank you! I don't mind them in there, especially if they're helping to clean up the tank!

Thank you!

That would be perfect for them. They would love it!

I'm planning to start with some snails and shrimp. For fish, I'd like to get a betta and maybe a school of pygmy rasboras or pygmy cories!

Thank you! 😊❤

The leash isn't tied to anything, I keep it on so that she can be caught easily and for training. 🙂

She is! 😊💕
