Just realized recently that aquariums are great for propagations. Now I can’t stop cutting stuff and putting them in there.

Hey this is genius! I’ll assume you are already using your discarded aquarium water to water your potted plants? It’s great for them!

Sorry to hear about your betta. My next project is a propagation bowl with a betta in the bowl! Something like this photo.
