Wow my new Fluval spec V has been a pain in my :foot: :n00b: So water was fine...I had this tank nicely planted with some live plants and things have been running for a few weeks. I added a Butterfly loach and 1 armando shrimp along with a nirite snail to the tank (to get it started). Water...

So here is the deal. I recently added two Japanese algae eating shrimp to my 5-gallon. There was voss, 1 cherry shrimp, an oto and one assassin snail in there was well. After adding them I realized how much crap was stuck in the back of my planted tank so I used a "turkey baster" device...

Hey Folks, So I wanted to share my journey in making a home for my new crown-tail betta "Inferno" (photo below). I will blog about my planted tank's progression as others have done. I have purchased Caribsea planting gravel substrate and also Caribsea white aquarium sand to go over the...

So I will attach some photos and a video as best as I can. But my betta fish "Phantom" has been lethargic (which I read isn't exactly uncommon for older adult bettas) and I noticed a little white protrusion or bump on the side of his head behind his eye. At first I just thought it was...

:banghead: I am SO pissed at myself. So I was changing the filter (and cleaning the LED) on my Fluval Chi and I unplugged the transformer from the wall as well. While holding it and carrying the filter to the sink...you guessed it I drop it in the water. It was only seconds...but seconds...

:eggface: :-o Check him out! The Inferno! Coming soon!! :popcorn: :fish2:

So call me blonde...but I accidentally ordered a variety of caribsea aquarium substrate that was for salt water online when I needed freshwater. Apparently it has all of the "nutrients" for a reef tank. It was an expensive mistake... :bawl: and I wish they were more clear on the packaging...

I have a friend who may sell my one of his old fish tanks...however I am a freshwater enthusiast and he was using it for salt water for a few weeks (only). I am not sure why I added "only" in there...maybe in hopes that the less time it spent in salt water the better? :nono: Anyway my...

OK so I have two live planted tanks and one is in the sun a bit more than the other and it has green algae issues. Everything from green water to green algae (that, at it's worst, won't come off even with a scraper) on the sides of the tank. It got so bad I completely emptied and scrubbed...

Not sure how much you all know about betta fish. But I recently bought this one online with the following (professional looking) photos. The fish was overnight shipped and I know that shipping can be stressful and sometimes fade their colors. That being said I have had the fish happily...

So I am re-posting this issue here just to see if anyone can offer help: While my betta, assassin snail and shrimp seem to be doing OK; I noticed that I am having a lot of bubbles at the top of my 5-gallon aquarium. I have just recently done an 85% water change and scrubbed the tank during...

Hello Folks, While my betta, assassin snail and shrimp seem to be doing OK; I noticed that I am having a lot of bubbles at the top of my 5-gallon aquarium. Not sure if I overdosed something (as in an additive) or not. I do not have a water test kit and when I move my fingers...

So on his way to me is my newest betta "Voss"! Voss is a normal-sized, half-moon betta with dumbo ears. I love his albino/yellowish coloration. Very unique! :cool: I think his colors will contrast beautiful to my other betta "Fiji" (who I just posted photos of in the "Show-off"...

Well guys, These photos are not as elaborate as many of the amazing tanks and fish I see here but I am proud to own him! Fiji is a monster, marbled, half-moon with ever changing colors! :multi: He started off with a whitish, baby-blue body with hints of white in the tail. He now has a...

Here are both of my Fluval Chi tanks. The first generation model is waiting for a new fish and the second generation model you can see my fish! Sorry that some turned out sideways...not sure how to fix that. Thanks for looking! :popcorn:

I am a HUGE fan of bettas. I like the expensive kind unfortunately that must be imported from show breeders in Thailand and cost WAAAY too much. But they are great fish! Nice to meet everyone! I have one question so far in posts that I could REALLY use help with if any pro's are looking...

Hello all, I own a 5-gallon Fluval Chi tank. While it is a beautiful tank I get that it is horrible for most fish. I keep a Thai import Betta in there, an assassin snail, suckerfish (otto-cat) and a few shrimp. I recently did a complete water change in the tank and have had it...
