Is it ok to have 2 female bettas in a 5G heated, cycled and filtered tank? They were both added at the same time, and they are the only fish in the tank. One of them is starting to move about and eat but very little. Mostly they are both totally inactive and staying at the opposite ends of...

The bloom is definitely white, so I'll just wait it out. It doesn't seem to be bothering the fish. Thanks very much for the advice! Great forum!

These are the bettas I have rescued from dirty cold cups in various stores in my area. I wish I could have more!

I have 3 bettas; 2 of them are in separate heated and filtered 10 gallon community tanks. The 3rd one (due to lack of space) is in a 1 gallon heated, unfiltered tank. I give this 3rd guy a 100% water change every 2-3 days. The ones in the bigger space use every inch of it and are constantly...

I have a betta in a 1 gallon tank with a heater, but no filter. I do 100% water changes every 2-3 days. Ive tested the water 2 days after a full water change and found 1.5ppm ammonia without a filter. I do plan to move him to a bigger, filtered tank. I think their happiness is more dependent...

Hi thanks for the reply! My tank is 4 weeks old with not many fish. The ammonia and nitrites are both at 0ppm. The nitrates I haven't tested. I will look into the test kit you have recommended. Thanks!

I have a 2 10 gallon tanks, each one with zebra danios, white clouds and one very grumpy male betta. The male bettas are not interested in the other fish at all and there have been no issues. I think it really depends on your betta. I haven't tried any female bettas with them but I am afraid...

I am doing PWCs (about 15%) every weekend on my very newly cycled 10 gallon tanks. For about two days after, the water becomes cloudy. The new water I add is aged and treated.. what could be the problem here? Thanks for any advice..

Is it ok for the output flow from a cascade filter to be entirely underwater? Or does the water level in the tank need to be below the output?

I have 2 10 gallon tanks with zebra danios, white clouds and a male betta in each. I know the betta does not require aeration, but what about the danios and white clouds? Do I need an airstone or some other form of aeration for them?

I have the Walmart Aqua Tech 5-15 filter on my 10 gallon tanks. For the past three mornings I have found one of my zebra danios in the filter in front of the filter medias. (all have survived the trauma of this :)) This would suggest they were not sucked into the intake valve, but rather have...

Could it be a bubblenest? In any case, it seems that more frequent water changes would be your best bet...

I went to the mall to buy dog food and I ended up`rescuing`a cup betta.. put him in a old 1 gallon tank.. then the internet said he needed a 10 gallon tank.. went to store to buy 10 gallon tank.. rescued another betta.. so needed ANOTHER 10 gallon tank.. one betta in a 10 gallon tank looks lost...

They seem like very peaceful fish to me.. I have a huge male Betta and a few zebra danios with my white clouds and no problems at all!
