I have done monthly changes for 4mo and the tank has been great. The tetras and betta also seem content. Just curious as to why after 4mo's the tank is developing the algae. I fear a weekly change for so few fish could cause more of a ph imbalance. Maybe I'll try bi weekly and see how it goes.

In my 5 gallon tank I have 1 mail veil tail betta and 4 golden pristella tetra's. I have never had issues with this tank in 4 mo's. Now just about a mth ago I noticed a greenish/brown algae growing on the blue/white stone and some on the walls of the acrylic tank. I do monthly water...

I have seen many people say that beta's are peaceful and not aggressive. A pet store person suggested that I buy a fantail goldfish as a tank mate for my male beta. My beta went after it immediately and caused wounds which I had to care for until the goldfish was healed. I love both fish but...

Well being very new to the hobby a worker at a pet store actually suggested the gold fish as a tank ate for the beta. I went home after my purchased and researched good tank mates for a beta. A goldfish was a poor suggestion. Found out a little too late. And had I known they had big bio...

I had fish many years ago. I currently have a male crown tail beta in one bowl and a new goldfish (butterfly? Is about 2.5" L with a long flowy tail) in another. Tried combing them and looks like beta took a nibble. Beta has been lethargic with dull coloring for a mth, barely eats. I do...
