I am wondering if my top fin 10 in a 5.5 gallon is too powerful water flow for my betta. Best case scenario I guess he gets plenty of exercise and I feed him well and he gets big and strong. I'm just wondering what kind of symptoms I should watch out for relating to fatigue. How would I...

If I get an acrylic or plastic divider for my 5.5 gallon could I then keep a second beta on the other side and if they can see each other would they stress each other out? I've got a male right now, would the second have to be female and would this work for the fish? That'd be 2.75 gallons each...

Just finished setting up my 5 gallon, cycle has just started. I am feeding the tank and used some bacteria supplement for my fishless cycle. I wanted to get an African dwarf frog but they don't sell them at my local petsmart, it might be because of my county, or it might be my state. I'm not...

Is there a way to have a basic 5.5 gallon saltwater tank that is low maintenance and saltwater? Doesn't even have to be a "reef."

How much would it cost to have a 5.5 gallon nano with I guess just one little fish. How hard exactly is it? Probably just gonna do freshwater, but was just wondering. :brows: Do you have to have a protein skimmer or will the live rock do it? How do you make sure there's the proper amount of salt...
