Also, have a spare smaller tank in case any females get overly aggressive. A little nipping for a while is normal, I mean actively hunting the others. Sent from my Venue 8 3830 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

That filter would be too much flow. It needs to be a spounge and not a internal. You can use a power head or air pump with it. The spounge provides all the filtration you need, but I do thing you should do some live plants. I use the linked setup for my 55 soroity and it works great...

They are very hardy IMHO, just remember they have been in those cups and shipping all over the creation for weeks without water changes or food. It might be hard to find females at Walmart, if I were you I would make sure they are females and not short tail males. Check out this link to be sure...

The betta water is useless... Just use prime or a declorinator. I use topfin declor and it works great :) I would buy betta pelletes and freeze dried blood worms. Bettas love to swim, but 10 for a 30g would be fine. I like Adisons betta pro, but that's just me :) Try different foods and see...

I have a tank with 7 females and 1 male. They do great together! Live plants would be great, as they would provide a natural feel. If you mix genders, make sure there are many hiding places. Sent from my Venue 8 3830 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Would not recommend fluvals...I have tried 2 on my breeding tanks and both got FRS. Sent from my Venue 8 3830 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

For me, I close the output first and then the intake, making sure I take it out of the water and turn it upside down first. Then, clean it and turn it on. Open the intake(still upside down with water in the tube) and the output. Tada! Sent from my Venue 8 3830 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Priming isn't hard, and you don't have to do it every time to clean the pads. Just close the shutoff valves before you turn it off. Sent from my Venue 8 3830 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

An EHIEM 2211 would be fine for your tank. I have one on my 29 and it works great.

1 bulb it is lol. My LFS just got in some really nice java...couldn't resist :p. I'm gonna get horn and penny wort, and some wysteria and swords. Sound good? Sent from my Venue 8 3830 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Oh yay! I have another bulb for it as well... That would make it 106w. Would that be too much? It was 20$ at home depot plus a diy lens...score! Sent from my Venue 8 3830 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Okay, thanks. Would 53w be too much? I have a t5 but its a 53.

Thanks. I figured it out! Its a t8 17w. Can I grow anything with that? Sent from my Venue 8 3830 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

What do you guys know about badis badis or scarlet badis? Sent from my Venue 8 3830 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
