The water in the bag that your fish comes in can contain hitch hikers or unwanted bacteria ect. If you get your fish out of what looks like a very healthy tank I wouldnt worry too much about it but a betta comes in a tiny bowl and its impossible to know what could be in that water. Ideally...

Hes looking better every day. Can barely notice the white spot anymore. A shame i wasted 5 bucks on this betta fix. Does it have any use whatsoever or should I throw it in the garbage?

lol i'm thinking using a bunch of those floating noodles would work well.

I have had alot of success with gravel and root tabs. You can also have plants that feed from the water column instead of the substrate, there are loads of different plants that do this. They can be planted in gravel/sand or will attach themselves to driftwood or rocks. From what ive...

Thanks for the ideas, I will probably end up using something like that on my 20 long that has no cover at all. Im hoping oxygen levels will be sufficient because I have a dual airpump running 2 seperate sponge filters in there. It would be nice to not have to use a fan but these fans are...

I didnt like the look of my new Finnex 24/7 LED sitting on top of the stock plastic/glass canopy. It was very bright on the wall and reflected off the glass. Also since I have a very active betta that I'm worried about jumping out, I need this tank covered. I thought about laying the light...

Thanks, yea i saw a few debates about bettafix being bad for labyrinth fish, agree its not worth the risk. Since its only watered down melafix i will save it for any non labyrinth fish i get in the future if im worried about infection.

I think he just scraped himself up on some driftwood. Its looking better every day.

Got a new betta yesterday and this patch seems to have appeared overnight. It was there yesterday but it was only a slight discoloration. Is this some sort of fungal infection or just damage from his new environment? Columnaris? he seems really energetic, he is also eating. tank is 15...

ok i will source some macro nutrients for the plants and continue using the food normally for the fishless cycle.

Im currently doing a fishless cycle using fishfood. I added a bunch of aquatic plants and dosed some seachem flourish comprehensive but I want to know if the fish food im adding will add enough nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to cycle the tank and feed the plants? How much food should I add...

Thank you, I feel pretty confident thats what it is. After doing some research on this plant i learned that when it is cut or crushed it emits a minty lemon smell. I tested this on a stem i cut off when planting and it definitely has this odor.

Identification of plant (Identified! TY) Not the Anacharis but the thick stemmed one. I recieved this "random bonus plant" with an order i placed on ebay and I would like to know what it is so I can do some research on it. I looked around for a while and suspect its a Bacopa sp. of some...
