    Betta info?

    Here's a giant cool story, but i've kept bettas now in pretty much every way. It really is true when people say that it is dependent on the betta, with both males and females. It's a good idea to put your tank in a place where you can glance over often and check on how they're doing with the...

    20 gallon tall stocking- GBR?

    Hi, I was wondering if I could keep just a pair of german blue rams in a 20 gallon tall. Also if it is possible, what sort of plants do they enjoy to coast around? I already dose C02 and flourish in my other tanks, and the 20 gallon has a pretty decent single fixture towards the warmer side of...

    Back to Fishkeeping! Suggestions?

    At the moment it's at about 7ppm. Now i'm familiar with general fish care, but when it comes to plants I really don't know much. If I wanted to begin dosing ferts and co2, how would I start that? I know you can make home made co2 systems, but is it worth the hassle or better to just purchase it?

    Back to Fishkeeping! Suggestions?

    Well i've been using fish food and dumping the waste from a few bettas tanks in it to cycle, which right now my ammonia level is still pretty high. What are some good hardy plants? I never really ventured into the world of real plants successfully. Right now I have generic lighting but I most...

How long should it take for...

    10 Gallon kit, or loose parts...

    Given that this is a sturdy desk, I would say that you could probably pick up a ten gallon kit from walmart with filter, heater, and light for around fifty dollars. I believe that's what I paid for mine, and the filter is moderately decent. As for assembling one on your own, that depends on...

    Does anyone else feel guilty?

    Well I really want a themed tank, so it's important to me. As for the friend thing, she wouldn't be upset at all. I just feel guilty. If I hadn't of taken the fish she was going to flush them. O_O (( She's not a bad person just not a fish person like us ))

    Hair algae maybe?

    I think I have black hair algae or something of the sort. Whatever it is, it sure is fuzzy. It's in the newly set up 55. I used old gravel that belonged to the previous owner of the 55's equipment only to discover hair algae? too late. What eats algae? I have loaches (( And sword plants )) in...

    Sniff him. You'll know. They smell -HORRIBLE- when they die.

    Does anyone else feel guilty?

    I finnally set up my 55 Gallon, as my brother's girlfriend was getting rid of the equipment for hers. There was only one catch : The fish. I had planned a south american theme, but I had to take care of the fish that were in her tank. Most of which aren't south american. I thought about giving...

My neighbors thought I needed help but i just waved them off as I retrieved my shoes from the depths of the mushy clay q.q towards the end of my adventure I started using a branch to see if I could step there or not. At one point is sunk where I would...

    This might sound crazy but...

    I'm reading mixed signals. Some say they do, some say that the changing of sex is a ability limited to certain salt water fish. I would say that it is however very likely that the fish is merely a late bloomer. There is also the possibility that it is a hybrid and will never fully develop.

    This might sound crazy but...

    I can't recall for sure, but I do think that females can turn into males if the ratio is not correct.

    IM a sucker for a Betta

    I would either get a five gallon from wal-mart for 30 bucks, or I would find a relatively cheap two gallon container, which is what I have done for some of my bettas. While a one gallon isn't alot of space, if you change the water out every day- to every other day I am sure he will be happy and...

    IM a sucker for a Betta

    I am not exactly sure what you are asking? If you mean would it be okay to switch places, the one in the bowl, the other in the tank I would say no, due to the fact that you would stress both out by changing their enviroment so often. If the bowl is that small I would try looking for maybe a...

    IM a sucker for a Betta

    Two males cannot coexist together at all. No matter how many gallons there are and how much space they have, they will shred eachother to pieces. There are EXTREMELY RARE cases where brothers have been able to coexist, but once again they are EXTREMELY rare. And congratz on the new betta ^^...
