Cleaned out the tank and put the betta back in his bowl. Tossed the gravel and soaked everything in boiling water. Didn't think bleach was allowed. I have since learned otherwise. The tank is now set back up and running. Moving the betta back tonight. The boiling water should have cooked...

Pluck out as many as you can. I had the same issue where they came in on one of the plants I added. I just keep plucking them once or twice a week. Also heard about putting a piece of lettuce in the tank each night. They will climb on board to eat teh decaying plant. Each night put in a new...

Cleaning it out Being this is my betta tank and he was living in a bowl ( i know how dare I ) for some time, what is the best way to get rid of the worms? Can I transfer him back to his bowl and scrub the tank clean and spread out all the gravel so it drys or just toss it. Will the worms...

Some reading has me thinking they are planera worms. Tryignt o figure out how or why though. These are a sign of excess food. I feed the betta pellets and i know for a fact he munches all three down every day.11

Just was getting ready to clean out my 2.5 gallon betta tank and noticed a bunch of really tiny things on the tank wall. They are a little less then a centimeter long and are as thin as a piece of thread. You can see them moving off their head off the wall and crawling along. The betta has no...

Seems things have leveled off. Think there might have been a small amonia spike due to the horn wort shedding quite a bit of it's leaves and jamming up the filter intake. Had to clean the filter out. Everything is back to normal I hope. Will either add some blood fin tetras or white clouds...

Test ammonia again tonight and there might be a slight trace. Did a 30% water change and retest again tomorrow.

The kids haven't noticed some of these guys missing yet but will need to have a talk with them if the gaurimi or the cory's were to go missing.

Will run water parameters again tonight and see what I come back with. If there is any sign of ammonia I will do another water change this evening. No bleach dip for the plants however the hornswort was a lart bunch with some brown sections that may be adding some additional load to the tank...

Thanks Tim. I meant to say that I do a 5 gallon change. Going to price out some new filters now and see what I can do.

Would putting a much larger filter on the tank create to much of a water stream? I purchased a 45 and then the advice of a trusted fish store employee. He has done well by me in most other advice said the output might be a little to much and that turning it down defeats the added value. My...

I have recently become victim to a slow and stead death rate in the tank. No apparent reasoning each fish behavior has changed some prior to passing. History · 15 Gallon long with 20Watts of 6500k lighting. · Tank completed cycling 12/20/10 · Running a Top Fin 20 HOB...

success for a short time We have a male betta in our 15 g community tank with 4 platy and 5 dainos. They were all fine for about 1.5 weeks then they started picking on each other. One Platy took some fin damage as did the betta. We moved him to his own 2.5 gallon tank. Our nanny tried two...

Thanks Jim. Picked up new filter media today. Would agree that I thought I was going to get a little longer then 3 months life out of it. Do you have any take on what side of the tank to put the breederes net on? Between adjusting the flow to low and the fine mesh of the net it seems like...

So I have a 15 gallon tank that has been up and running for 3 months now. We have been pretty successful with a few casualties along the way. Tank cycled rather quickly and have the tank up to full stock(faster then we should have). biggest issue has been a high PH that seems to go down after...

I have a semi planted 15 gallon long tank. I have been leaving the light on longer then I know I should usually 8am -10pm. Have folks tried to run the lights from 7-12 off from 12-5 then back on from 5-10. This would allow the tank to get the desired 10 horus of light but let me get to enjoy...

A few answers so you can help. Set the tank up and let it run for 2 days. Added a some live plants and then added the 5 dainos and let create the cycle for about 2 weeks. When the parameters told me things we looking good I added more a few more plants and the rasbarrios. The rasbarrios...

Started and cycled a 15 gallon long tank for my two year olds 6 weeks ago. The tank is home to 5 small dainos, 4 mickey platies, a speckled cory and an alto. I also have an assortment of live plants that are doing very well. The tank was originally designed to be a home for a betta we were...
