    Territiriality and memory- betta fish

    Ok it sounds like he's never going to play nice with shrimp, so I will have to get him a nicer bowl to love in. Thanks for the advice!

    Territiriality and memory- betta fish

    ...was defending his turf from the "interlopers". I have two questions- Is it possible to return him to his tank and have him coexist with the new additions? And if so, How long should I keep him in a separate bowl before returning him?

    Territiriality and memory- betta fish

    Hi I have a question about betta fish and territoriality. Two weeks ago, I had to remove me betta fish from his community tank after adding some Amano shrimps- he was acting aggressively towards them and trying to attack them. He has been in an isolated bowl since them. Since then, I have done...

    What are my snails doing?!?!

    Looks like they're mating. I had some mystery snails that I had to separate to different tanks because the male wouldn't leave the female along. She would actually twist her shell around as if she was trying to shake him off. If you have another tank, I would suggest separating them to give them...

    dojo loach slowly losing weight, food shoots out of gills

    Hi people! I have a 29-gal tank 4 dojo loaches in it, along with some other fish. I got all four loaches when they were roughly the same size, through spaced out over a couple months. My oldest, and favorite loach, has grown very little over the last year, and is looking very thin throughout his...

    alge? on my decorations

    Nerites are pretty decent algae cleaners, from my own experience go for the "spikey" ones, they are faster. I also have the striped ones but they are very slow--somebody online compared them to an elderly janitor who spends an hour polishing the same square of floor. Also if you can find a true...

    GREEN WATER! please help

    Wow, that is an amazing before and after picture!! Yesterday, I just put a few willow stems into my tank that was slightly green after a 1/4 water change, it looks better but still is not as clear as I want it to be

    New planted shrimp tank

    The mollies shouldn't bother midsize to adult shrimp, but if you want to have baby shrimp I would move the fish to another tank. Tiny baby shrimp are the perfect sized snack for a fish that size

    New Gravel

    I've never done a fishless cycle so I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think adding gravel now would interfere with cycling.

    how flat does the surface under a glass tank need to be?

    I'm going to be setting up an all-glass 8-gal Fluval Nano Shrimp tank this weekend. The tank is going to be on top of a wooden filing cabinet. When I press on it hard, the top of the cabinet has a little bit of give in the middle, so I will need to lay a board on top to add a little more...

    yellow shrimp dying off one-by-one

    Ammonia is still high today (about .15) on the color chart, I'll do another 1/2 gall water change My "large" water changes were about a gallon on the 10-gall tank, I was using Prime and also the Fluval shrimp safe. I really need to upgrade my heater--I'm going to go to a fish swap meet next...

    yellow shrimp dying off one-by-one

    I had another one die last week, for this one I had a clear problem with my ammonia so I'm not not going to count it as a mysterious dead like the others. Did a water change.

    Amano Shrimp Yellow/White-ish bands...but not dead

    Huh, I really don't know what that could be. Are there any other amanos in the tank that you can use for comparison? They should have a slight green/grey/blue transparent color

    Will he live?:(

    Maybe add some stress coat into the tank? Mainly I would just let him rest in the tank undisturbed, and hope for the best.
