I've been feeding my new community tank(all cycled) flake food for 3 days now. In the tank is 4 zebra danios, 3 neon tetras, and 3 platies. Ive recently noticed how messy flake food is, and I wanted to switch to pellet. The thing is, it seems they just don't want to eat the pellets, even after...

I've been running my 20 gal tank for more than a year now, and in that amount of time, a lot of my fish(there used to be 12 originally) have died (sorry, I know that its a lot of deaths, and I tried my best but the majority died from causes that I'm inexperienced with.) Anyway, there are 4 fish...

I just got some cholla wood and I was wondering if it mattered how long I boiled them for. I was planning on boiling them for 20 mins and then leaving them in a bucket of water for a day or 2. Is that ok?

Is it ok if I get duckweed for my betta fish? He lives in a 6.6 gallon fluval chi. Will the duckweed grow super quickly and take over the surface, suffocating my betta like so many people have said before?

You've probably all seen the photos of those really lush, green, and bushy Java ferns. Well, imagine the opposite of that. That's what I have. And I wanna fix that. Currently, I have 4 or 5 separate rhizomes of Java fern growing in my 6 gal betta tank. No ferts, no co2. There are very many...

I was thinking about planting some Amazon sword in my 6 gal fluval Chi. The thing is though, I have sand for my substrate. And I was wondering: 1. Would the Amazon sword need fertilizers in the sand or would it be able to get its own nutrients from the fish waste. 2. What kind of maintenance is...

So I currently have a flu al Chi, but while it looks nice, I really do not like the filtration. That's why I was thinking of getting a new filter. The one on the top of my list happens to be the penn plax cascade 300 internal filter. My only question here is it safe for betta fish? It is going...

Right now, I'm really excited because my Betta is approaching the 1 year mark. I'm still not sure how old he is though. Now the thing I'm worried about is the fact that he seems to be swimming around the tank less and less. He usually just cruises around for a bit and then goes and rests in his...

Ive had my male betta in a fluval Chi for about 10 months now, but I've always wanted to set it up differently and not use the provided filter box and light. Does anyone have any suggestions on what filter and light I could replace the current ones with? (I am on a tight budget though)

I'm going on a 3 day camping trip at the end of the month and I already have an automatic feeder for my 30 gal but I don't have anything for my 6 gal betta tank. 1. What should I do for my betta before the trip? Should I feed him as much as I can? Get another auto feeder? Or just starve him for...

My beta seems to be developing a fin rot, and I would like to take care of this as quickly as possible. Before I begin, here is my weekly routine. 1.water change 25 percent of tank and treat new water with seachem prime. 2.take out all decor and clean them along with removing excess algae...

This has happened to me twice now. I have a group of small dollar sized angelfish in my 40g along with some other fish. I do water changes weekly and everything is fine. The thing is though, just a month ago, one of the angelfish started to open and close their mouths sort of quickly(not...

I have 6 mickey mouse plates in my 40g along with other fish for about 5 months now. I should've expected this sooner but I think one of the platies are pregnant. She has a very large stomach. I know this isn't overfeeding because the other platies do not have this problem and they all eat the...

Clown loaches seem really hard to feed. Mine are in a 50g with some plates angels and zebra Danios. It seems though that the loaches never get any food because yes, the food drops and lays on the bottom for a while, but the plates and angels get there first, leaving almost non I suppose for the...

I just got this one loach yesterday so I could add to my existing loan group. One thing that I notice though is that he seems to be lazier than the others. Whenever I put my hand on the glass, all the loaches swim away except for the new one. (I can tell it's the same loach because his scales...

I just got this angelfish that seems to be an adult. He's about 4 inches length head to tail and 5 inches bottom fin to top fin. First question: any feeding requirements I should know? I already have omega one fish flakes and bloodworms but how much do I feed. I assume it would be a lot more...

I have a couple of angelfish in my tank. This morning, I saw one was lying on the bottom of the tank on its side. So I tried to scoop it up with a fish net but it swam away. It was moving very slowly and its mouth seemed like it was constantly opening and closing. It also seems like he's...

I have a 6.6 fluval Chi that has one betta in it. It also has one small anubias plant and one small Java fern plant. For some reason, the plants are turning white. I've been told it is most likely nutrient deficiency. I do use nutrafin cycle once a week during water changes. That might be part...

Update: on my last post I said that my Java fern was turning white. It still is. Apparently it's from nutrient deficiency. Now I'm thinking of getting liquid fertilizer. What kind of nutrients do Java ferns need? Iron, potassium, nitrogen?

Help! Recently, I've noticed that my Java fern are turning white. They are starting to get paler and paler. I have one betta in the tank and do weekly 25 percent water changes. I don't put any fertilizers in it and the tank is a 6.6g fluval Chi. The Java fern seemed to grow really well and fast...

What should I feed my community tank? It has a couple of clown loaches and angelfish along with a couple Danios and platys. What's should I feed them? Any suggestions for Fish food would be greatly appreciated. Currently I'm just feeding them once daily with nutrafin bug bites but it doesn't...

So I have a male betta fish that's about at least 8 months old. I used to feed him twice a day with a few nutrafin bug bite pellets. Then I read somewhere on article that overfeeding can cause fin rot. Is over feeding like feeding them an amount of food that they don't finish or just feeding...

I might have asked this before but does anyone know how to propagate anubias Congenisis? I have a small one in my 40 g tank. It's apparently supposed to grow very big so this one might not be old enough. Anyways does anyone know a propagation method apart from splitting the rhizome? Because the...
