What's "RCS"?

Thanks everyone. Do the shrimps help with the tank bottom cleaning? Would the betta harm him? If I max out at 5/6 neons, (1) snail, (2) adf, (1) male betta could I add (2) shrimp? (My sons get a kick out of the frog most, followed by the snail) would I be over stocked?

10 gallon freshwater started sept 18, 2012 (1) male betta. (3) neon tetras. (1) mystery snail. (1) African dwarf frog PH 7.8 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 5.0 I just did a 20% water change

Hi gang. I have a 10 gallon w/ (1) male betta, (1) black mystery snail, (3) neon tetras & (1) African dwarf frog I am getting mixed answered when I ask how many fish are too much for my tank. I would like to get (2) more neons and either (1) frog or (1) more snail. Any comments are appreciated

I was looking at my 10 gallon tank yesterday after I got (3) neon tetras and (1) snail to join my betta. Do I have too many fake plants? Should I remove some? Should I add more ornaments instead?

So I bought (3) neon tetras and (1) snail yesterday to join my betta in my 10 gallon tank. Since I woke up this morning, this is what I've been seeing. Is the snail in danger? I keep turning the snail over off its back so I am thinking the betta is attacking it and turning it on its back

I just picked up (3) neon Tetras and (1) snail I was also told (5) pellets are ok to feed the betta but every OTHER day as I have the LARGE pellets!! So much for my listening skills when I bought them. Anyway. Thanks for your help!

And yes. It's heated to approx 78 degrees.

I'm not sure of the size pellets. I will let know know when I get back home. We are actually on our way to get tankmates LOL! It's a tank that we are using as part of my son's reward system. So we are going to get (2) more fish

Hi. I have a 10 gallon tank with 1 betta fish. I bought pellet food when I got it. How many pellets per day should I be feeding it? I was told 5 pellets per day.

No. I thought I was supposed to wait 24 hrs. :) I will dose now. 2 or 4 ppm?

Yesterday I did a 90% water change I just tested the water Ammonia 0ppm PH 7.6 NitrIte 0.25ppm NitAte 5.0 ppm

Great! Thanks guys. I will do that and check in tomorrow w/ results

I am using the APi master kit I just started testing the nitrItes a few days ago Can I/Should do a 90% water change tonight? Then test in 24hrs. Redose the ammonia (I use 2ml to get to 4ppm when I started), then retest a couple of hours after that and see where I'm at?

So when it hits 0ppm again for the 2nd time, is that when I do a water change? 90% right? (It's a 10 gallon tank)
