Here's a giant cool story, but i've kept bettas now in pretty much every way. It really is true when people say that it is dependent on the betta, with both males and females. It's a good idea to put your tank in a place where you can glance over often and check on how they're doing with the...

Hi, I was wondering if I could keep just a pair of german blue rams in a 20 gallon tall. Also if it is possible, what sort of plants do they enjoy to coast around? I already dose C02 and flourish in my other tanks, and the 20 gallon has a pretty decent single fixture towards the warmer side of...

At the moment it's at about 7ppm. Now i'm familiar with general fish care, but when it comes to plants I really don't know much. If I wanted to begin dosing ferts and co2, how would I start that? I know you can make home made co2 systems, but is it worth the hassle or better to just purchase it?

Well i've been using fish food and dumping the waste from a few bettas tanks in it to cycle, which right now my ammonia level is still pretty high. What are some good hardy plants? I never really ventured into the world of real plants successfully. Right now I have generic lighting but I most...

Welp! I used to be on these forums a couple years ago, and now that I am finally settling down I decided that I would get another aquarium!(( I had to sell my old ones for money reasons. )) We have a 75 G freshwater tank cycling, and I actually have a few questions. How long should it take for...

I have had my laptop lock up from such, and I run FireFox

Given that this is a sturdy desk, I would say that you could probably pick up a ten gallon kit from walmart with filter, heater, and light for around fifty dollars. I believe that's what I paid for mine, and the filter is moderately decent. As for assembling one on your own, that depends on...

I live in Raleigh. :( Not close I'm afraid

Well I really want a themed tank, so it's important to me. As for the friend thing, she wouldn't be upset at all. I just feel guilty. If I hadn't of taken the fish she was going to flush them. O_O (( She's not a bad person just not a fish person like us ))

I think I have black hair algae or something of the sort. Whatever it is, it sure is fuzzy. It's in the newly set up 55. I used old gravel that belonged to the previous owner of the 55's equipment only to discover hair algae? too late. What eats algae? I have loaches (( And sword plants )) in...

Sniff him. You'll know. They smell -HORRIBLE- when they die.

I finnally set up my 55 Gallon, as my brother's girlfriend was getting rid of the equipment for hers. There was only one catch : The fish. I had planned a south american theme, but I had to take care of the fish that were in her tank. Most of which aren't south american. I thought about giving...

Actually, I was having the time of my life. My neighbors thought I needed help but i just waved them off as I retrieved my shoes from the depths of the mushy clay q.q towards the end of my adventure I started using a branch to see if I could step there or not. At one point is sunk where I would...

So today I decided to go take pictures of the lake and streams that run by my house. Here are some pictures. When I took the one of myself, I was a little more then knee deep in clay and holding onto a fallen tree for dear life. XD My fingers are muddy ;o Where I was walking is usually where...

I am going for Brazil and Czech. I love soccer, and I love the soccer players ;o Haha. USA just isn't a big soccer country.
