    New tank :)

    Thank you! I'm gonna go with 7 just because I know they like to school and I heard that's the minimum.

    New tank :)

    I'm getting a 20 gallon sometime within the next few weeks. I currently have a 5 gal, stocked with 1 female betta and 2 cories (unsure of sex.) I researched and found cories need a school of their species. Once my cycling is done, I'm going to switch all my fish to the 20 gal and put my baby...

    Baby betta

    So I bought a betta from the pet store about a week ago (maybe less). He's in a 1 gal until he outgrows it. He's only about an inch long. He won't eat from the top but will chase the pellets down. This results in deep cleaning every two days. How do I wean him onto top feeding? I called Petco...

    Switching to sand

    What I did was take all the rocks out and all the water and I cleaned the walls of my tank. I put the sand in about 1/4, 1/3 of the tank and did gravel the rest. No cloudiness, nothing. My cories stay on the sand- they love it :). I didn't do the whole tank sand because I heard bettas confuse...

    Switching to sand

    Hi. :) I have a betta and 2 cories in my 5 gal. I bought the cories before I knew they should be kept in 6s because Petco people are stupid. I also bought them before I knew they like sand. Sooooo I'm doing a half sand, half gravel tank :) I have a 2 gal container for my cories to go into...

    Baby betta

    Shoot. I fell for the baby betta again. Went to Petco to get my sister a Molly and ended up with two fish. My other betta (who I bought as a baby) is a very healthy female who's about 5 months old. :) This little guy was the smallest one of em all. He's approx half an inch (maybe closer to an...

    Help with sick Guppy!

    Hard to tell. First picture looks 100% female which would explain a lot. Second picture could be a male though.

    Living with the cories

    Earlier this morning I noticed my cories and my betta just swimming towards each other. They've started to like each other- a little too much. My cories go up the glass a couple inches cleaning the tank and when I returned, I noticed my betta near where the cories were. I saw eggs- or I thought...

    Blue dwarf gourami has built a bubble nest! But is the other gourami a female?

    Left is a female, right is a male*** Sorry bout that.

    Definitely a female. Right is female, left is male. You can tell because of the dorsal fin shape at the end. The males comes to a point while the females rounds off.

    Are my guppies pregnant?

    If it's less than 5 gal, it will need to be cleaned more than often but all you need to do is a water change and use conditioner.

    Are my guppies pregnant?

    Cleaning your tank too often kills off the good bacteria in your tank. That bacteria stabilizes your water and keeps your fish healthy. Only do water changes every month or 3 weeks if it really needs it.

    Concerned about obese betta. (3 months old)

    Alright :) thank you. I'll fast her tomorrow and see if she'll take a pea the day after. If I fast my betta, should I fast the cories aswell? She tries to eat the flakes and spits em out.

    Concerned about obese betta. (3 months old)

    She didn't recognize the pea as food.

    Concerned about obese betta. (3 months old)

    Also, she's always eager to eat more. Nothing seems unusual. She just appears huge.

    Concerned about obese betta. (3 months old)

    I usually feed my betta whatever it'll eat within 2 minutes. I feed her micro pellets 4 times a day as directed on the package. she seems huge. She's always liked to remain towards the top of the water and even more so since I got my corycat fish in with her. Is she just bloated? Is it safe...
