    How many is too much?

    Thanks everyone. Do the shrimps help with the tank bottom cleaning? Would the betta harm him? If I max out at 5/6 neons, (1) snail, (2) adf, (1) male betta could I add (2) shrimp? (My sons get a kick out of the frog most, followed by the snail) would I be over stocked?

    Do i have too many fake plants?

    I was looking at my 10 gallon tank yesterday after I got (3) neon tetras and (1) snail to join my betta. Do I have too many fake plants? Should I remove some? Should I add more ornaments instead?

    Betta vs Snail

    So I bought (3) neon tetras and (1) snail yesterday to join my betta in my 10 gallon tank. Since I woke up this morning, this is what I've been seeing. Is the snail in danger? I keep turning the snail over off its back so I am thinking the betta is attacking it and turning it on its back

    Betta Fish

    I'm not sure of the size pellets. I will let know know when I get back home. We are actually on our way to get tankmates LOL! It's a tank that we are using as part of my son's reward system. So we are going to get (2) more fish

    Day 27 fishless cycle

    I am using the APi master kit I just started testing the nitrItes a few days ago Can I/Should do a 90% water change tonight? Then test in 24hrs. Redose the ammonia (I use 2ml to get to 4ppm when I started), then retest a couple of hours after that and see where I'm at?

    Day 27 fishless cycle

    So when it hits 0ppm again for the 2nd time, is that when I do a water change? 90% right? (It's a 10 gallon tank)

    What are the benefits of having live plants? Do they speed up the fishless cycle? Do the fish benefit from them?
