So one of my female Bettas, Mona Lisa, just did the cutest thing I've ever seen a fish do, and it's the first time one of mine has made me literally laugh out loud. I fed her a few pellets and as she grabbed one she disturbed another and caused it to sink, but it landed right on top of her head...

I just got back from my local Petco and they have the dollar per gallon going on till January 19th. I'm not sure if it's all stores but it may be worth a look.

This is quite funny. I recently bought a variety of Bettas from Petco and until I get their permanent homes set up(working on it asap) I've got them in temporary 5 gallon water jug homes. Most can't see each other but my male king Betta(apparently just a half giant plakat from what I've read)...

I'm trying to find a good source for gluteraldehyde as a carbon supplement. I know about Metricide 14 but I'd prefer something much higher in concentration than the 2.6% in Metricide, perhaps 25-50% so I can dilute it and make more for the money. Any leads?

I've got a few old jerry cans lying around and thought they might make cool little aquariums. I think it'd be a simple enough job to cut out the front and silicone in a piece of glass and cut the top off and rig a light inside there. My only concern though is whether there would be any danger...

I'm in the process of setting up a 125 gallon. It's going to have a diy foam/concrete 3D background along with Malaysian driftwood and will be fairly heavily planted, using Flourish Excel rather than CO2. Sand substrate with root tabs for plants as needed. Filtration will be from a Filstar XP L...

I'm setting up a 135 gallon with a diy 3d background. I was planning on going with a Filstar XP L canister filter and still may, but I'm considering the diy route. Here are my thoughts: leave a chamber in the foam perhaps 6" by 6" square that runs from bottom to top of the tank. Put an inlet on...

I'm looking to build a 3D background and I've got lots of that green wet foam used for plants laying about and that would save me a good deal of money if I could use it. It's a 135 gallon so it will take quite a bit of foam. Anyways, is that stuff aquarium safe? It most likely would not be...

Hi all. I'm a new user of this forum but I've been lurking for months soaking up info as I've been getting into this hobby. Great forum! Anyways, I plan on building a small betta aquarium of approximately 5 gallons from slate tile with a glass front. The slate is going to be the majority of the...
