    10 gallon stocking?

    I would not put two bettas in the tank unless you separate them, as they will almost definitely fight. Depending on the type of tetra, you might be okay with smaller ones, like neon or cardinal.

    Puffers!!

    That's similar for me, except I didn't realize how often the puffers have internal parasites when wild caught, as most are. My first one had just come to the pet store the day before, and I didn't know much about internal parasites until too late. This second one had been at the pet store (a...

    Puffers!!

    This is actually a older post, this puffer sadly died from parasites a while ago. I have my second puffer, who is the same kind, pea puffer, alone in a 5 gallon tank. I have very few pictures because he's shy. Pea puffers are the smallest, completely freshwater puffer. TMaier, your puffer is...

    2nd tank in the living room

    Male guppies are colorful and fit nicely in a 10 gallon tank.

    Pea puffer

    I have a pea puffer alone in a 5 gallon. Unless you are doing a group of just pea puffers in the 55 gallon, that would be super cool. But if it's an average community tank, I would just put the one pea puffer straight in the 5 gallon. They are pretty aggressive, and don't tend to do well with...

    Heater for small tank

    I use the small Tetra brand one from Walmart in my 5 gallon. No bells or whistles, but seems to do the job so far (about 8 months).

    Mixed Cory Cats together?

    I think that different species get along. I have two that look similar, but are definitely different species, but seem to be best buddies.

    20 Gallon stock 2

    Platies are nice. And Mollies. I've kept both singly, and they've seemed to do well.

    Fungus?

    Okay, new question. I have two corydoras. They are scaleless. They would probably be affected by the rid ich? Also, would say be bad for them? I want to make sure before I get anything that might harm them.

    Fungus?

    That's really good to know. I will see if my local pet store has it. Also, I have only fake plants, so the salt wouldn't be an issue in that regard.

    Fungus?

    My heater doesn't have a dial on it. It's one of those pre-set heaters, set to 78 +/-2 degrees. I will take your advice with the light though, and keep it off.

    Fungus?

    I have 2 more days in my current treatment, and I will do a deep clean at that point, and try the aquarium salt. I've heard good things about it. Thank you.

    Fungus?

    Thank you for all of your information. I had an inch outbreak right when I first started the tank, but it cleared up with the Tetra Lifeguard. I assumed this was different because it started with the larger white spot on the tail, not little white dots. I agree now, that it looks more like ich...

    Fungus?

    I have a Mickey Mouse platy that I have had for a year develop a cottonlike growth that has spread across its body in the past few days. I noticed it yesterday, and started Tetra Lifeguard, which is a general medicine that is supposed to treat fungus, bacterial, etc. She is in an established...
