No fake plants, no hollow decorations, no weekly decor changes, wouldn't that prove for an unhealthy Beta? I thought they needed a changing environment? Perhaps I am changing it to often? Thank you!

Hey all, I know it has been a while since I have been online, and I apologize for my absence, but I need to call upon your help once again. On January 12th of this year I purchased from Walmart what was labeled as a "Male Crown Tail Beta". The poor guy was living in horrid conditions and was...

Yea I got a lot of Peroxide in my EMT bag and I'm going to go get some Kosher Salt. Thank you!

Help, he is starting to roll over and drift towards the top of the tank upside down

I posted recently about a Zebra dainio that appeared to have a whiteish/tanish spot on his side. I treated him with Jungle's All in one treatment and the discoloration went away. What was left was a huge wound. He didn't make it but a few days longer due to complications with the wound. Fast...

He didn't make it : ( I woke up today to him completely lifeless in a small cloud of blood. Apparently the fungus or w/e was gone, but it left a massive wound which I guess bled out overnight. Sorry for having to give you the bad news but I am so thankful for helping me prolong it for a little...

Thankyou! What should I do about my other fish with him? they arent showing signs, should I put them in the new tank? or medicate them all just in case?

Thank you for the article! I don't know what my chemical levels are. I change my water twice a week and do about 80% My 1.5 was a practice, and my RD wont let me have a tank larger then a 5 gallons in the dorm. My camera is refracting off the water in the tank, can I net him out and lay...

Have you used strong household cleaners? Could those in the atomosphere of the house have hurt the tank?

Hello! I have a 1.5 gallon with 3 Zebra dainios. 4 days ago I noticed one of them had a tanish looking spot high on his right side directly behind his eye. He was hanging out towards the bottom of the tank and not eating much and other then keeping upright, was not moving at all. Last night I...

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I do plan on upgrading around the middle of summer. I'm hoping to build a 7-10 gallon tank once I feel confident just to keep things simple (you know baby steps) and turning my 1.5 gallon into a backup for sick fish or transport and moving to larger tank...

No, I didn't know that... Guess I better start gathering ideas a bit quicker for a larger tank!

Hello! I'm quite happy I've found you all, I've been spying as a non-member for a while and you guys seem to know what your talking about so I'm pleased to join. As far as aquarium experience goes I have 0. A few years ago I attempted to maintain a 20 gallon tank, I realize I was young at the...
