    bad water parameters, fix fast? Fish not faring well

    I have a five gallon tank with a Betta fish and a green Cory. I cleaned the tank today, did a water change and added gravel back to the tank. (I went without gravel for a while after one of my tetra got his self stuck and died, so my other fish wouldn't too.) I also added bettafix to the water...

    Size for my community tank?

    Diagnosis for Betta losing scales!

    Update I think he has heater burn. The wound on his head has been healing and the whites going away. I think it's not that virus looking at him (hopefully).

    Getting a Bigger tank isn't an option for me at the moment. Maybe 5 or 6 months from now; if I'm being really hopeful. Could I get the Cory a friend or am I already seriously pushing my luck?

    How much larger will the Black Neons and the Green Cory get? The Cory seems fine, how worried should I be about the Cory not having a friend?

    New Five gallon planted community tank

    Hi! Very, very new to aquarium keeping; the only tank I had before this was a simple three gallon with a betta. So my new tank is a whole other ball game. I've done a crazy amount of research and have been going through A LOT of trial and error. I think I finally have a good set up but I've...
