I bought rocks from an aquarium store and wanted to make sure it was okay. I dropped some vinegar on both and they did not bubble or fizz. I am soaking them in warm water now. Any other tips or are they ready to go in?

I may get some aquasoil amazonia for my tank. How much do I need and I do I put it into my already established tank?

Is it more important to have strong lighting, good substrate, or good ferts? Because I have a very poor substrate.

Also....i should mention that my betta is very old (about a year and a half). Are you sure my tank isn't too overstocked for a betta and two more otos? I listed my stock above.

Isn't my tank a bit overstocked as it is?

Hey fellow fishkeepers! I have a male betta that is neglected in a small 2.5 gallon unheated tank. I want to move him to the larger 25 gallon community which I have because I think he would enjoy it more. He has always lived alone, and looks sad. The current inhabitants in the 25 are: 10...
