I haven't been able to find it since that one day when I posted this. It's either hiding in the plant or in the rocks. I was going to do a water change the other day, but forgot to bring everything with me to work. I am going to do one on Monday. Maybe I'll be able to find it at that time. I'll...

Oh great. Now I'm worried about it being in my tank. haha I hope it doesn't bother my betta. I haven't been able to find it yet. The little thing is almost completely transparent. I have to do a water change tomorrow. Hopefully I will suck it up then I won't have to worry about it. Thanks again :)

OH! That's it! It looks just like that nymph of a damselfly. If I can find the silly thing again, I'll remove it. It's so hard to see in my tank. Those things grow in water? And I wonder how it got there. It must have been stuck to the plant I just got. So weird. Thank you everyone for all your...

I'm fron the NW part of Houston, but currently live in the Heights. I used to work in the Woodlands, so I'm familiar with the area. I suppose it's my turn to apologize for taking so long to respond. I haven't been checking this forum because I haven't had any fish issues. haha

If it's a flea, it's awfully large and it doesn't look like one. It's small in comparison to a fish. But large in comparison to a flea. I've had water fleas before. It looks nothing like it. It literally looks like a cricket. Very strange. And of course now I can't find it because it's almost...

I was watching my betta in his 2.5 gallon tank and I noticed this almost transparent thing at the bottom. At first I thought it was some debris off of the plant. Upon further inspection I noticed this thing is alive! It has 2 antlers and 6 legs. The legs are bent like a cricket or spider. It's...

I just noticed these little black bugs at the bottom of my beta's fish tank this morning. They weren't there on Friday. I didn't work yesterday so these little things appeared sometime within the last 3 days. Does anyone have any idea what they are and if they are harmful? What should I do to...

Well, I'm not in your area, but I do have an interest in aquariums. Does that count? haha

Is this place always so quiet? As large as the state of Texas is you would think there would be more aquarium enthusiasts that would post in here. Let's get this party started! Wooo Hooo! Sorry, I had some caffeine this morning...

I came in this morning and he doesn't have the green stuff on all of his fins like he did yesterday. He has it on one fin only. So I guess the stuff is falling off. It doesn't seem to bother him. He still has a huge bubble nest going at the top. Thanks for your advice. I'll start doing 50% water...

I have a male beta in a 2.5 gallon tank. The only thing in it is a heater. he seems very happy in the tank. He creates bubble nests that that cover the whole tank at the top. I noticed about 4 days ago that he had this bright green on the tips of his fins. I realized it was algae from one of the...
