Hi, I recently bought a beautiful new betta from a local pet store. He's a blue and red Cambodian crown tail, really pretty, but on closer inspection, his tail is short and looks almost as if someone took a pair of scissors to it and cut it off in a strait line. There's some feathery crown, but...

Ok, so I'm wanting to make a little tank for my room. I'm not sure exactly what size, but I'm moving my little female Betta (currently in a one gallon) into it. Thing is, I've always wanted some shrimp. I've owned some ghost shrimp, and I wanted to go with some red cherry shrimp. Will my Betta...

I am wanting to set up my first planted tank, but I'm on a low budget, and plants can be expensive! I know I can use the ones from this tank in others and stuff, but I don't think I'll have tons and tons of tanks anyway. I just live the look of planted and thing my betta would be happier that...

I want to feed my betta live foods. I bought him a week ago at a pet shop, inside a small drink cup. Seriously. The lid had the slits for the straw and the things you punch in if it was diet and such. It was even smaller than the usual plastic cups you find at walmart! Anyway, I bought him...

I really want java moss to help shelter some shrimp I might get for a ten gallon. But when I went online, I couldn't find out if either petco or petsmart carried java moss. I checked at my lFS, and they didn't have one. I suppose as a last chance I might buy online, but I would prefer to not...

Ok, so it started when I bought my new betta, Basil. He is a beautiful Cambodian, and of course, at the moment, he was the prettiest betta I was ever going to find, so I bought him for a little tank I had prepared. The next day, I was in walmart, haunting the pet area as I have been lately (I...

I found an awesome tank that comes with fitted glass dividers. I thought I would sand the dividers to cloud it and use it for betta's. The thing is, will it heat correctly with the dividers in place? There isn't any holes in the glass, so I already ruled out a filter and will just have to be...

I saw an awesome tank designed specifically for betta's that comes with built in dividers. However, the lid is plain glass, no lighting. I could buy a separate light that sits on the glass, but those can get expensive, so what I was wondering was whether or not low-light plants, such as anubias...

I have a very pretty red Cambodian veil tail betta. I wanted to breed him, and while have most of the research bumps worked out, I still have a few more questions before I get started, as I don't want to get into this before I know as much as possible. Right now, what confuses me is genetics. I...

My betta's head is covered in white fuzzy stuff, including his eyes. I have read online but nothing seems exact! It's only his head and a bit if his gills, no where else. I was thinking it might be a bacterial something, and I read to lower the tank temp. And such... Right now I have him in a...

I am planning a low-tech planted tank. I will have anubias, java fern, and java moss or Christmas moss. Should I buy Eco complete for this? Will these plants actually benefit from it, seeing as none of them are actually 'planted'?

My pet store betta might have been inbred or something, I am not sure, but he is very small. He is a blue veil tail and it about and inch, including fins. Because of his size, he has trouble eating betta pellets, I have to crush them first. I was thinking that maybe a diet of live foods would be...

I am getting a 1.5 gallon betta tank, and when looking for heaters, most designed for small tanks are unreliable. I was thinking of an adjustable 50 watt heater, but would this heat it too high? It's adjustable and turns of when the required heat is reached, and turns back on when it needs it...

Breeding betta's is something that greatly interests me. I have owned betta's before, and currently own one blue male veil tail. He isn't breeding quality, though, since I bought him from a bet shop. So, if I did end up breeding them, I would buy a pair of betta's online, from either eBay or...

While reading up in redoing my betta's tank, I came across somebody's cherry shrimp tank, and it was adorable. Betta's would probably eat them, wouldn't they?

I am really interested in either a fluval chi or some other fluval. They are a bit pricey, but so gorgeous. The only fish would be my blue betta. I wanted a planted tank. So, what I wanted to know was, what are your experiences or thoughts about this or similar tanks?

I was thinking of a floating plant for my tank. I don't want it to get very big, about 1-3inches in diameter, and it needs to be lowlight and I don't supplement with carbon dioxide. Any ideas?

I want to redo my betta's tank. It will be planted, the only thing I haven't decided on is which new aquarium. This one is very pretty, but I wanted to know what you thought about it. Another consideration is the fluval 2 gallon, because it is so gorgeous, but it is kind of pricey. What I really...

I am wanting to do a small, planted tank for my betta. I haven't ever done a planted tank before. So I have a lot of questions... 1. Which substrate should I use? I really liked the Eco-earth, but it only comes in 20 pound bags and I wouldn't need that much. I have some sand substrate, would...

I wanted to get some small algae eating invertebrate for the new tank I am planning for my betta. I haven't decided if it will be a three or five gallon. I was thinking either some sort of snail, like a golden mystery snail, or ghost shrimp. I have had ghost shrimp before and think they are so...

Hello, I am thinking of buying a three gallon tank for my blue betta, Raja. I am moving him up from a one gallon to this. The tank has a clear lid with LED lights shining into the tank. The lighting is pretty bright, but is it enough to grow plants? I was thinking of anubias, java fern, and java...

I just got some new driftwood for my ten gallon, but it just floats. Any ways to make it sink? Thanks!

Hello, I was reading online and came across a site that said that certain vegies are good for your fish as treats. Is this true, and if it is, what are good ones?

Hey, I have a few questions about using dirt in your fishtank. I was looking it up, and this one guy did it with plain potting soil and said he had wonderful results. However, I didn't get to actually see the tank, and I was a little dubious. Wouldn't the fertilizers in the soil hurt the fish...

Hey, I have one African dwarf frog in a ten gallon aquarium with guppies. They are not aggressive, but they do try to eat his food and I am afraid he is not getting enough to eat. I have a spare one gallon tank that I used to keep my Betta in. (Don't worry, I have a ten gallon for him now.) It...
