No no I got the glass fish, not the catfish b/c of that reason ^^ They told me at petsmart they needed 10 gallons soooo I thought they'd make good Betta tankmates

Yea my betta is one I rescued in a spur of the moment decision from wal*mart x.x god knows how much they actually feed those fish or take care of them. Anyways they lasted the night. Just hope it keeps up, she's not extremely big and the glass fish are schooling so hopefully they'll just leave...

1) My female betta is a picky eater, she only eats flakes some days and blood worms the next. Give him frozen bloodworms if he's being picky. 2)I honestly have no idea about the filter. My betta always plays in the current. As for the reflection thing, yea my female one does that too. But of...

Don't get java ferns for a ten gallon. Idk maybe I've just had extremely bad luck but after my java fern was placed in a ten gallon I had a diatom bloom, two mollies die, and really really really ugly water all in that week. The lvls of the water stayed fine, but I just took out the java fern...

Right now I have four glass fish and a female betta in a 10 gallon tank. The petsmart people (who I don't trust) told me this would work since female bettas work okay with community fish. I'm just wanting reassurance that this should work. I didn't want to get the glass catfish looking ones b/c...

Yea if their bands are growing a really dark greenish color, it's usually from age but if it's a color all over their body I've never heard of it. Either way I would probably ask someone else for a second opinion. My fish have never gotten sick so it could be something I've never experienced.

I've heard they grow darker when they age. I could be wrong though because I've never had two of them in a tank together, but the older they get the more of a dark greenish color bands they get. What kind of Leoporinus is it?

I have a female beta, and 2 mollies. I'm having to move the mollies to the 5 gallon b/c my rainbow shark has become a bit too territorial and I want them to stay safe. Well the female beta isn't reallyy agressive (at least not as much as the male ones I've seen and all) so I'm thinking they'll...

Tyvm =)

Hey I just got an Elite 799 air pump to hook up in my five gallon new aquarium, but i'm not sure if it can be left on at all times or if it overheats. The manual thing said nothing about it so I thought I'd ask you all to find out =)

They use duct tape on nascar racing =)

I've had the tank for about 3months I believe, and the lights are just low watt florescent lights that come with the aquariums in those little 10 gallon package start up. I was told they wouldn't help algae spawn real fast. We have no open windows really except a sliding glass door but it always...

I cleaned my aquarium, like I took everything out, used the gravel vaccum cleaned the walls, the fake plants cleaned, everything was cleaned, it's only been two days and this brown algae is back. I put on a new filter, I cleaned everything, I was wondering how can I control this algae problem...

Yea I have plants in the tank, I try to keep it on as little as possible b/c of my rainbow shark tho

Hey this doesn't look like normal algae but I could be wrong since algae for some reason has yet to spring up on my tank. But there are little brown dots that have shown up on one fake plant in my aquarium and one of the rock tower thing, along with one of the fake coral looking things. I...
