    melafix question!!

    let me start out by saying i am bad at math, and have no mathamatical common sense. i have a 5.5 gal tank. one of my fish has a boo boo so i got some melafix. it says to use 5 ml per 10 gallons. how much do i need to use? like... almost three ml? does it need to be exact? and will it hurt my snail?

    Stocking 20 gal.. need help.

    if i am not mistaken.... since you cycled with fish, and added that many fish at once wont it over do the bio load and cause sorta a mini cycle? besides that.... i think female bettas are fine with those fish you mentioned. i have only heard of female bettas fighting each other.
