    Going on vacation, but what about my betta?

    I have never heard about automatic feeders but at my petco and Walmart they sell this big chunk of fish food that you plop in a tank and it should last fish about a week they just come up and bite it when they are hungry.

    What should i feed ghost, amano, and other Shrimp?

    They eat the left over fish food. Shrimp aren't very picky. You can actually see them eating fish flakes that land on the floor. If you want to make natural food for them you could leave the tank on for a while and algae will slowly grow.

    What's up with my big amano shrimp

    Unless you have moved them into brackish water or salt water I don't think he or she is trying to lay an egg as Amano shrimp only breed in salt or brackish water I am pretty sure. He is probably molting which would be neat to see since I have never seen them actually do it. That is my input I'm...

    Fish for My Bare Bottom 2.5 Gallon

    I mean there aren't a lot of options with a tank that size you could use it as a grow out tank maybe? Get some baby fish and let them grow out in it until they get to big and transfer them to a new tank. A lot of fish are schooling fish and you simply can't have enough of them in a 2.5 gallon to...

    How many neon tetras can I have in a 10 gallon tank?

    I am thinking about starting a neon only tank, how many can I have in the 10 gallon? I may add some shrimp in there but that's it. I am gonna cycle the tank for at least 3 weeks before adding the fish in.
