So I rinsed well and added a new substrate so I can plant plants. Or of course is cloud but went down today, I imagine by tomorrow it should clear up. I did this because I had mystery snails die and the betta die that was in there. I still have a clown pleco, is he okay in the cloud? Also, will...

Oh yes I have a white mystery snail named pearl and a black racer Nerite snail that I’ve had for two years as my only inhabitants in my new tank at the moment. it worked out that we are doing an in snail cycle, but they seem to be doing fine in that large of a tank. I’m only a bit worried...

The long finned betta I had for 2.5 years but he died. I have upgraded to a 20 gallon tank and I’m going to be ordering a plakat female betta from an online breeder. I’m trying to brain storm a tank mate, as I think the bamboo shrimp is very cool. Any other shrimp I believe would be food for...

Oh but the betta will hate that. So I had one before with a HOA filter and a male dumbo eared betta abs the betta didn’t bother the bamboo shrimp, he was afraid of him! Are plakat female bettas more aggressive?

It’s weird because it’s all over aquarium forums that some bristlenoses attacked their goldfish and ate their slime coat, snd it happened to someone’s betta too. So weird. I may go with a clown pleco instead.

What’s a spray bar?

Is this a good tank mate in a 20 gallon tall heavily planted tank? I’m going to order baby female betta from a breeder and have the brisstlenose in their first. I don’t think the betta will be much of an issue, I’ve heard pleco sucked the slime coat off a betta, is this possible for the pleco to...

I just set up my 20 gallon. Once it’s established I would love to add bamboo shrimp. I have a bubble filter, can they filter feed and eat well with a bubble filter if there is food in the water colum? Can they eat off the filter moving upward? Thanks

I had to restart my well established tank. I made a dumb mistake. I had a betta fish pet dying( had him 2.5 years) and I was soo nervous to euthanize with clove oil ( which was a peaceful death) I didn’t think things through. I had the snails in a hospital tank for treatments I was trying for...

It’s sad, I will miss fin.

You should knock the poor thing out with clove oil first, that’s definitely the most humane thing to do.

Clove oil is definitely much more humane than freezing water, that would torture them before death. Clove oil is fast and puts them to sleep, I definitely the fish should be knocked out before added to freezing water. You just have to make sure it’s a lethal dose and that the fish is in it for...

I euthanized him. I used clove oil and it was humane and painless. I used a lethal dose. I added it, at first he tried to swim radically for only about 10 seconds, so I hope he didn’t feel anything. Then he passed out.he loved his fins slightly as he started to fall into a deep sleep. I added...

So my old betta is dying. He was swimming in his side weird for awhile and after betta revive medication he started doing doing the vertical lay. I lowered the water, stopped the filter and yesterday he found a spot on a leaf where he has been ever since yesterday. This morning I thought he...

Oh was around 7, no nitrates or ammonia which I wouldn’t expect because I’ve literally changed the water everyday for like 2 weeks. He ate yesterday and got worse 24 hours after betta revive. I just turned off his bubble filter and lowered the water to where he’s just sitting on a plant and...
