Where is a good place to buy zebra danios? I might try those.

He looks happy and cozy [emoji4]

Normally once a week for both my tanks. But waterchanges really depend on how many fish you have and how much waste they make. so I would assume how often it should be done depends on the tank.

i have been feeding less often and in measured amounts. So basically my fish get the near-exact amount of food every day. Maybe less waste had something to do with it?

With regular waterchanges and wiping the glass mine just kind of stopped coming back? Im not sure why. I guess just try wiping them off when you do a waterchange.. I will update if mine come back at any time.

Thanks! I will [emoji4]

I made sure to keep it all wet because I heard if it dried out it would die.. lol I was worried so I was working fast

I have the API test kit and prime already (: I ended up using established media from my 45gallon fancy goldfish tank and his old filter media, sand, and decorations to get it going.

Its possible that he was curious but he was aggressive with it sometimes. When I first had the snail he tried to bite it through the bag and when i released it, he kept biting at the shell. I also saw him bite the snail so it would fall off the walls of the tank. Maybe I could get a darker...

Thanks! I would be devastated to walk into seeing him on the floor so I wanted to be sure lol

I first got him october 2016 and I've never seen him jump before so I dont think that he would jump out, but I will be an eye on him untill I can find a lid, or something to use in place of a lid

Does anyone think he could jump out with this water level?

I moved him into the 20gal today! I first scooped him up in the little betta cup he was bought in. Then I drained his current tank water, sand, and decorations into the 20g. I also moved his current filter over and rinsed my 45gal's filter media into the tank to give it some extra bacteria. I...

I personally dont use carbon in my filters anyways just because of how often it needs to be replaced, but I do have some on hand when I want to remove medications from the water. Edit: http://www.fishlore.com/aquariumfishforum/threads/how-often-should-i-replace-the-carbon-in-my-filter.78839/

No, the carbon will remove all chemical treatments rendering them useless. So you will have to remove the carbon for the treatment to be effective Edit: I thought I read this on the bottle, but it may have been online somewhere instead

Aww lol it must've looked awesome

Wow!! Do you have pictures? He must look so tiny!!

All i'll need to find is a lid so he cant accidentally jump out :)

Ok great thanks! :)

Ive read mixed information about it, from 75-80 to 78-82. Most places say that below 74 is too cold and above 85 is too hot. Should i go with the large heater and set it to 80 to be safe?

I feel like the 300w is overkill then. And the preset is set to 78F which is good for bettas I read. Could I use the preset unless i need to raise the temp for medical reasons?

Also, I have two spare heaters and I dont know which one to use? The small one is a tetra preset 100w (im guessing because it looks identical to my current heater) but it looks too small. I also have a larger XiLong adjustable 300w, but it looks too big?? How many watts do i need for a 20?

My 45 has two filters onto it so I was thinking of just replacing one of the filters media, and putting it in the new tanks filter.

I will probably buy some tetra safe start plus to jumpstart it (fishless this time, I've learned from my mistakes lol) Edit: I might also use water and media from my 45 gal to help too.

I may need to wait until I can find a lid for the need tank since i heard bettas can jump, i also need to get a big enough filter that wont blow him around.
