Here's my setup. I went with gravel and although I ordered a dark deep river gravel it looks a lot more like natural color in person =[ but it's too late to change that now. I've filled it and it's now my betta's new temporary home. My next step is going to be getting all the plants and then...

I live in Asheville! Thank you everyone for the advice so far! I am thinking I will increase the school of embers and hold off on the gourami. I'll wait until the tank is established and plenty of plant cover to see if I still want one or willing to risk it. I'm still stuck on what kind of...

Hello everyone! After a big move from MA to NC I am finally ready to set up my tank again =] So far I have cleaned up my tank and got an amazing deal on a stand. This build might go a little slow because I am trying to not spend all my money at once. The next step is substrate but first let me...

Thanks everyone I have learned a lot. I got out my five gallon tank and put new gravel in it. I then rinsed all my plants, swished them in a very light solution of bleach and then rinsed them thoroughly again. Hopefully that will do the trick. I need to get my betta out of his bowl which has...

Thanks everyone. Can anyone help me out with the cleanup process? I dont know what I should get rid of and what I can salvage. I don't want to get any new fish sick Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Yeah I think that's it. A lot of the same symptoms and it does say it can wipe out a tank in hours. So the stress of moving probably lowered their immune system. Now I know if my fish get stressed to check the water quality a lot more often. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Well sadly it is too late to save any of them. Whatever it was killed them all very fast. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

So yesterday morning my fish seemed fine and then last night when I got home from work they were all dead/ dying. It was definitely some kind of fungal infection or bacteria because they were covered in whitish/clearish stuff that seemed to eat away at their fins the most but also the rest of...

I am moving to Worcester today and taking my freshwater tank with me. I have heard horrible things about the water quality there so I am concerned for my fish. Can anyone tell me if they have ever had problems with the town water or if it's fine for the fish? Sent from my iPod touch using...

I love your lotr statues! Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

I guess either way they will probably be eaten when they hatch. My fish are savages. I feed them twice a day and they only ever beg for more. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

I do have zebra danios and they do breed every day but I wasn't sure if it would be that because the moss ball is covered in them and also underneath where I wouldn't think the eggs would be able to reach? Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

I bought a marimo moss ball and it looks like it's covered in eggs. Are they snail eggs? It's been in my tank for 2 days now. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

So surprisingly my desk just needed a small adjustment to get the tank level so that's all set now. I went out to walmart and picked up some blue poster board for the background. I put the glass top on. Putting the little handle on was so stressful cuz you only get one shot. Definitely did not...

Nope you were right. There's definitely a small gap in the middle. Only bout 1mm though. Is that really bad? Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice
