A while back, my Penguin Bio filter died, i replaced it with another brand, an Aqueon Quiet Flow. I had a polyfill stuffed stocking ball inside the penquin, so i left it free floating in the tank for a biological filter for several weeks. Long story short, my betta died several days ago. He...

Kung Fu Betta Disease pictures by michaelg210 - Photobucket Please see pics, thought it was cloudy eye, have been treating with Kanamycen, but it does not seem to be getting any better. In the photos it looks more like perhaps pop eye, but to the naked eye, his eyes are not simply cloudy, they...

Once the tank has been thoroughly cleaned by a dwarf pleco, how many and how often should i supplement with algae wafers. They are round, 1/2 inch wafers, remain solid up to 24 hours. Pleco Joe still suck on the glass, but i don't know if he is searching or actually munching on algae i...

http://s1013.photobucket.com/albums/af259/michaelg210/Giovanni%20and%20Guiseppi/ Betta knew something else was in the tank, but could never actually find the pleco, who was also keeping an eye on the betta, and when it headed to his area camaflouged. Betta, Goivanni, was on recon several...

Can anyone tell me the difference between these products, or even Seachem's equilibrium and Kent's R/O Right? I am using R/O water and wish to know what is best for restoring minerals, trace elements, and general water hardness..... i know nothing about chemistry, so simple explainations if...

Forgive me if this is a mis-post, as I understand this forum, it is protocol not to detract from a thread. I did a search and found some posts re: possible eye diseases..but it was dated 2004, so am starting this thread. My daughter just called me at work and said the betta has "...

I am trying to find something flat that can be suction cupped to the wall for the betta to sleep on. He used to love to sleep between the heater holder rings, but the new heater is on 86 treating ich, so he won't hang there. was wondering if anyone has ever seen one anywhere...

he is very lethargic, normally, he is almost always on the move.... all i could find at walmart, only place open, was Ick Clear from Jungle Fish Care and Wardley Essentials, Ick Away....

so now i just keep doing water changes until the tank balances out? ammonia - .02 NitrItes- .25 NitrAteS - .20 then add a few fish?

I have searched high and low for a low cost, 5-gallon aquarium kit that includes a cfl lighting, that includes a filter with decent bio area. I have looked closely at the eclipse systems and various others, and thought I had settled on a marineland manufactured kit sold under Wal-Mart's brand...

I am cycling WITH FISH.... 3 small pladies in a 10 Gallon tank with good, very fine substrate, 1 small anubia, 2 small java ferns, one very small sagittaria subulata (dwarf sag), and two crypts- lutea, pontiderifolia. (Not that I know much about these plants, but for those who do....) Finally...

I am interested in this product for my daughter's betta, but have read the incandescent bulbs put out too much heat for the tank, heating the water too much. Does anyone know if I can swap with Compact Florescent Lights in the same sockets without a problem and will they fit? Do they use...

I am rather new to fishkeeping. Recently acquired 3 Platies, beautiful colors. All 3 are males. However, one is just slightly bigger than the other two and constantly picks on them, nipping at their fins, tails, and bodies. He even takes them head on. I wondered if perhaps he is just...

I am trying to purchase some java ferns on line, but it seems no one guarantees snail free. I have been told snails are not a bad thing or no big deal, but I really don't want them. There are additives that will kill off snails i believe, or someone told me aquarium salt for freshwater...

I have a small tank, 5.5 gallon with a single betta fish. I have given up on those drop in bulbs, which almost never grow. I was looking at buying some live plants, which are supposed to be guaranteed snail free... however, do not have the supporting substrate(?)... I have seen large...

Filter Question Hagen Elite Hush 5 Hang On Filter Just got this and am more pleased than expected. I think I know what to do about the foam replacement pads (change as seldom as possible and until then rinse in old tank water when absolutely necessary). However the Carbon Filtration pack is...

Sorry, thought I had this covered, but turns out not so.... boy me and my filtration issues: Well, I now have a 5.5 G tank, still with a betta, and "cycling with fish" (I know, no chiding please, no alternatives) Ok, so it turns out my Tom Aquarium Products Mini Internal Filter for 1 - 5...

Hello, i have a 2.5 gallon tank and a betta fish. Currently i am using the Tom Aquarium Products 1-5 gal Mini Internal Filter. I would say i love it, but am concerned it is too much for a 2.5 gal tank? Seem like my betta is getting a workout, even on the lowest setting and with the water...
