    Can anyone identify what's in this tank?

    I'm trying to recreate the fluval edge pictured below. I really like their design. However I'd replace the back plant with a java fern. Does anyone know what kind of "lawn"-like plants those are? Anyone have any idea what kind of rock those might be? I assume those are quite common. Thanks...

    Betta Fish, High Nitrite, How to fix?

    Also for my daily feeding I feed 6 Betta Pellets 1/8th an Algae Wafer 2 Frog Pellets If I tested the water the next day, would I really see a significant increase in nitrite with this amount of food?

    Betta Fish, High Nitrite, How to fix?

    Looks like a 5 to me, but it does look like more of a brighter purple than a darker purple. Water changes are pretty easy for me due to it only being a 5gal. I just haven't noticed any significant results from the 50% water changes. I've done weekly water changes at 25% since starting the...

    Betta Fish, High Nitrite, How to fix?

    Ok so day 3..I've done 50% water change + nutrafin cycle + nutrafin dechlorinator Should I start doing this hourly? or should I invest in some API Nitra Zorb? or should I continue daily 50% water changes?
