So my female ADF started with a small red bump (looked like a pimple) on her nose. I checked her tank for anything that she could have hurt herself on but couldn't find anything. I kept her water clean but it has progressively gotten worse to the point that she has lost her nose and it is just...

So where can one purchase this and what strength is best? I am taking down my 10g and I'm treating all of the plants and decor. I'm find new "creatures" coming out of the Java moss I purchased at a lfs a month ago or so and I just can't deal with these little things any more. Today some worm...

So I noticed my male betta's aquarium was cloudy looking and this is what I saw when looking into his aquarium. I did a 50% wc yesterday and they were not there so this is just in 24 hours. Is there away to get rid of this? I did read the posts about it but I don't want it coming back and I have...

So I purchased some java moss from a fish store yesterday and was trying to figure out the best way to clean it to put it into my tank (get rid or snail, etc). I was also curious of the best way to attach the moss to a piece of driftwood. Any help is much appreciated! Sent from my...

I've gotten my 10g setup today. Planted to a point but I want some moss in there soon, if I can find the moss I want. I figured I would start a thread on here to document my planting journey so I can look back and think of what an a** I was. The first picture is my newly setup 10g (it is very...

I really want black sand in the 10g I'm setting up but I don't want to pay the pet store prices ($20 and up for 20lbs). I think I remember seeing somewhere in this forum that someone had used Black Diamond blasting sand and I was curious if it is usable in a planted aquarium? The plants are...

So I bought some frozen blood worms but I have a ton left over from the little cube. Can I save what's left for later feedings? This is my first time using frozen food with the fish and frogs. The female betta only ate 1, the frog's ate 4 a piece and could have kept going, and Fred wouldn't...

So I need to go buy a new bulb for the 10 gallon I got yesterday and have been trying to find a good bulb for the plants (it will be heavily planted) but the light is an 18" bulb and I'm having issue deciding which one is best in the size. Any help is much appreciated. Sent from my...

Does anyone have any experience with this filter? I just got a used 10g aquarium for free and the guy who gave me the aquarium also gave me his filter. I have only used the smaller whisper 3i (which is nothing similar to the 30). Is it worth it to keep this filter or should I just trash it and...

I can admit I've been bitten by the aquarium bug and right now there is a professor at my college who is getting rid of all of his old tanks and he's given me first dibs (my boyfriend is going to kill me when he realizes that I'm bringing home 2 or 3 more tanks) and I've chosen a 5 gallon and a...

I have 2 plants in my female betta's aquarium and was trying to look up online how best to care for the plant and can't find any good info on the plant. I've had it in her tank for a little over a month now and some of the tips are browning but it's still a bright green color and I can't really...

So it's cold in Ohio and I had a little 15 watt aqueon heater in the tank but it was not keeping the tank warm enough now that the house has dropped into the 60s, so I went and bought an aqueon 50 watt heater and the tank is getting colder! Can anyone recommend a good heater? I do have all of...

I was just curious what is the quickest anyone has ever had a filter cycle for them? I ask because I have a female betta and I broke her original tank back when she had ich and bought her a 3g kit and she's dang near through her cycle (while I wasn't watching because school this week has been...

So Fredward the Great is in his new tank but he isn't use to an HOB. Is there anyway that I can reduce the flow out of the filter anymore (it's already set on low and has a sponge on the intake part)? I swear I should have named this fish Hodor. I was thinking of maybe adding a second sponge on...

1~What type of fish is afflicted? Female veil tail betta. Last night I began noticing white dots on her forehead. Got home today and now there are white dots on her tail. The white dots are raised. We have had her for about 2 weeks now and she just started showing symptoms last night. 2~What...

So I am fishless cycling my new 6 gallon tank for my betta. It is planted with driftwood inside while I'm cycling. My ammonia has been at 2ppm for 3 days now and has not moved. My nitrites are rising every day (started at 0ppm and now is at 1ppm) and the nitrates are at 5ppm and have been...

Hi all! I am new to the community but I have been reading posts on here for awhile now. I have a male and female betta, as well as an African dwarf frog. I love my bettas and spoil them as much as possible. Fredward, my male betta, is currently hanging out in his small tank waiting for his new...
