Thanks for the replies everyone. I have a regular? rectangular 10G. Tank is usually kept between 78-79 deg. No fertilizers, and sand substrate. Not sure about CO2.. but it's well aerated. pH is 7.2 as of today. For the most part, the leaves seem fine, but little black dots appear, then turn...

Another good choice is keeping a group of female bettas. They are usually non-aggressive and many of them have long colorful fins. I find them very pretty!

Hello, I have some pygmy sword plants in my 10G aquarium. They're the ones that look like clumps of somewhat tall grass. For the most part, they're healthy, except I do notice that at least one or two leaves at a time are always turning brown. Lighting is on during daytime, substrate is sand...

My fish don't have fin rot at the moment, both of them in the PAST have suffered minorly but healed very quickly. My navy/red betta lives in a 10G community with 4 neons and a siamese algae eater. The only reason my other betta is in a 1G is because of his chronic swim bladder issue, so he lives...

Hello, small fish such as neon tetras, guppies, OR even african dwarf frogs could be housed in a 5G tank (only a few of course) with regular water changes! However, I would say that having a large beautiful betta with many plants in a well decorated aquarium would be very aesthetically...

Hi there, I have a few bettas, one living in a 1G ish shallow vase, and the other in a 10G community tank. I do partial water changes weekly, but recently I have developed a paranoid due to minor fin rot issues IMMEDIATELY following the water change. If I'm only doing 20%ish water change, the...

I microwave the pea then chop up the insides, and dispose the shell. Hmm thank you for the advice, I WAS a bit distressed over the fact that I couldn't let any nitrate build-up due to full water changes. Now I will act on partial ones!

I read that any readable ammonia levels are highly stressful, so I figured I should test waters daily followed by a 100% change religiously. :P As I've mentioned in my first post, yes I have soaked the pellets.. I can't seem to pinpoint the issue. Maybe he has an internal disability?

First of all, I've never been informed about cycling tanks until about a month ago.. the petstore never told me.. :( I know I feel guilty! He lived alone in a 1G glass tank but he's never had fin rot or any other issues, so I always assumed he was happy with weekly 100% water changes. But...

Hi Everyone, I have a male betta who suffers from chronic constipation. After months of repeated pea-treatments, I figured it might have been a bacterial infection. Thus I used Jungle Fungus Eliminator for about a week with no changes at all. With observation over the past several months, I do...
