I'd say move the betta. He'd be better in the 10g versus the 4 gourami. I've got my betta in a 10 g and he does great.

God bless you for rescuing Sasha! What a sweet face! My next dog will be a shelter dog. My little one was a puppy mill puppy. So glad we got her out of her bad situation. She was a "bargain" puppy from a breeder that we got when she was five months old. She was treated pretty badly before we got...

Love this! I've got two dogs. This puppy is Zoey. She is a one year old golden retriever lab mix. She went to the groomer today so she was tuckered out and fell asleep on my lap. She's a 70lb lap dog! And this little one is Macy. She's a two year old Maltese poodle mix. She is the...

I had neon tetras with my male betta and they nipped at his fins so bad I had to move them. In my ten gallon I currently have 3 bronze Cory cats and my male betta. They work well together :)

Very nice! I love the look of the sand!

I wish I would have thought about it prior to spending quite a bit on all this gravel! Oh well live and learn I guess. I love the black sand waaaaay better!

I changed my betta tank too. Before After

My crown tail male betta named Clarence lives happily in a 10g tank with three bronze Cory cats. He doesn't bug them one bit. They are tiny little Cory cats right now.

First of all he is huge! He's bigger than all of my neon tetras. Well one of my bright yellow glofish went missing. Today I cleaned my tank and didn't find a body so I assumed something ate him...well I was right. Bubba the shrimp has a belly full of glowing bright yellow glofish!

So I'm a newbie to this hobby. I'm loving it so far! When I first started out I had gravel substrate and lots of colorful fake plants. Today I took a few hours and switched everything over to black sand substrate and green plants only. Once I'm a little more into the hobby I would like to try...

So I am going to be starting a 55g tank and need to buy a filter and a heater. I would like some recommendations on what would be best. I'm thinking of doing cichlids. I'm going to set the tank up now and cycle it without any fish in it.

Thanks for the replies! The lady says it is an actual aquarium but I'm not going to risk it! I don't need 55g of water "exploding" in my office! Yikes!

Any issues with using a tank for fish that was previously used as a terrarium? I think I have found a great deal on Craigslist but I don't want to run into problems since it hasn't been used for fish...thanks!

Omg! You would never guess! I had taken the gourami out a little bit ago and put him in a bowl of his own while I was taking the others out and rearranging. I sat down for a bit and when I came back the gourami was gone! He jumped for it! I picked him up quick and put him back in the water...he...

Thanks for the advice. I will switch things up and see how it goes.

He is a dwarf flame gourami. The tank is 29 gallons. I've got 7 glo tetra, 8 neon tetra, 4 corydoras, 5 serpae tetra and the gourami. The gourami have never bothered any of the other fish.

My gourami is being a bully to my serpae tetras. I just added five tonight to my tank and the gourami is going crazy chasing them around. Will this get better or should I move him out?

Still good?

Good to hear!

Please keep us updated in how he is doing in his new home! So awesome of you guys to save him!

What do I do about poor tap water quality? My pH is 8.4. Ammonia is 0.25. Nitrite is 5+. And NitAte is 5. Thanks!

Definitely! Thanks so much!

I've never really liked the 1 inch per gallon rule. I've been using the aqadvisor site which has really helped!

Thanks! With tomorrow's water change I will start changing a bigger amount! This site rocks!
