    active yet bloated betta

    I have had a betta for about a year and a half in a 5 gallon filtered tank. He has always been very healthy and active. A few weeks a go, he had little white things on his body, which I guessed was ick, so I treated it with "super ick cure" with nitrofurazone. The ick quickly cleared up. But...

    Betta food and non-betta friends?

    I love my betta! I set up a 5 gallon for him with some silk plants, and he frolics all day. The funny thing is that despite all the space in the tank, his favorite thing to do is to travel in circles along the back panel, between the little gaps left by the plants, filter, and thermometer...

    OK, Ready to Give UP!!!

    bloated, lethargic betta

    I've had a tank for about 6 months now. 10 gallons, 1 betta, 3 zebra danios, 1 snail, 1 african dwarf frog. They all seemed very healthy and happy, I do partial water changes every week. All of sudden, with no signs of sickness yesterday morning, one of my danios was dead by late afternoon...

    normal snail behavior?

    Thanks to everyone who is reading this post:) I'm worried about my ivory snail. It is usually a pretty active snail, moving around day and night eating algae and food that falls to the bottom. for the past two days, however, I've found it staying inside of its shell, and isn't even attached to...

    Bettas and Danios

    Hello again:) I had previously written a post because my danios seemed terrified of my new betta, and I wasn't sure if it was a good idea mixing the two...however, the danios are now brave enough to steal his betta bites. So I figure they'll all get used to him being there and stop flipping...

    algae? overstocked??

    Advice please! I set up an aquarium with no fish for about 3 weeks, and added bacteria from the fish store. I added some plants, but one of them had brown algae (I later realized), which spread - I was told by the fish store that it is really hard to get rid of, so I just got rid of the plants...
