Is the lava rock sharp? I have some and it's rough enough to tear a betta's fins. Sent from my SGH-T769 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Thanks for the reply. I soaked the blood worms in tank water for 2 minutes. Unfortunately, I don't have a test kit, but I've been changing a gallon, about 35% of the water daily. I also got a heater yesterday, which is now keeping the water at 78 degrees. I started feeding him frozen peas which...

I currently have some endler's livebearers in my 5 gallon. It's temporary, but I could definitely see a few males being comfortable in a five gallon if there are a lot of plants. They're really active little fish.

I had one in my dirted ten gallon. It had a HUGE root system, and grew to be one of the largest plants. It was under a florescent light though.

Looks great!

Hello, I've about a month ago that my crowntail betta, Hassium had a thin white outline around the edges of his scales. I didn't think that this was such a big issue because he was active and swimming around. He's living in a three gallon unheated tank. The temperature is usually around 72...

Awww...they're so cute! Are you going to name them ? They remind me of my swarm of guppies at feeding time. :invasion::invasion::invasion:

After a series of small water changes, the endlers have stopped shimmying. I think that the cause was water quality .

I think they might be scuds. Look up a picture and see if it matches. They tend to stick to the plants in my tank. I'm pretty sure they're harmless, and I know people sometimes use them as fish food. Sent from my SGH-T769 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I would avoid ghost shrimp. When I had some, they started eating my endlers. I think I may have gotten macros instead. Sent from my SGH-T769 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hello, I noticed this morning that one of my female endlers and one of my males were shimmying with pinched fins. The tank has been establish for about three years now, and is stocked with about twenty endlers including their fry. It's ten gallons dirted and planted with anubias, swords, java...

Agreed. I've never had barbed fish except pros, but if I need to move a fish, I use cups. I feel nets are too stressful, pulling fish out of water. Sent from my SGH-T769 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Rubidium!

Hello, I got a new crown tail betta two days ago and put him in my filtered, heated, and cycled 5 gallon. The tank is lightly planted with java fern, java moss, anubias, and rotola(?). The problem is, Hassium is flaring at EVERYTHING and just stays for the most part by his leaf hammock. He will...

Tried to train my betta with the R2 fish school kit. He started attacking the feeding wand though.....he's not the best student :rolleyes:

Here it is...needs a better background and light though. You can see Hassium/Astro/ fish by the thermometer.

Settled my new crowntail into the 5 gallon! :)

He's acting a bit more normally now. I have a bunch of live plants and a betta hammock, but he doesn't seem to like song on those. Sent from my SGH-T769 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

My teacher had a whisper air pump, and I remember that as bring silent. You might want to look at those. Also putting the pump on some type of soft material like cloth or foam will cut down on noise from vibrations.

Hello, I finished cycling my 5 gallon with filter media from my 10 gallon, and turned it into a dirted tank. It's been up and running for about 2 or three weeks. Today I got a crowntail Betta from the lfs and acclimated him by putting the bag in th water and adding water from the tank for 30...

Looks great! One suggestion though: you might want to move up the betta lead so your betta can sit by the surface :) Sent from my SGH-T769 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I found him dead :( thanks for the help though Sent from my SGH-T769 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Should I euthanize? It's really sad to see him just wiggling at the bottom, but I don't want to kill a fish I could have saved :( Sent from my SGH-T769 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

He's not looking good, still acting like he's paralyzed. I've seen him move his tail though. I tried giving him a salt bath, but this didn't seem to help. I'm afraid to move him back to the main tank because he might get picked on Sent from my SGH-T769 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Thanks, so should I move him back into the main tank? How old do endlers get? I think this guy is a little over two years old. Sent from my SGH-T769 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
