In my 20 gallon I have: 1 Male Betta 4 (had 5 1 passed) neon tetras 5 Harlequin Rasbora and a Bulldog aka Rubber Lipped Pleco Everyone seems to get along well. The tetras are pretty active, they are not doing laps but they do swim around a deal. I have plants and hide-y things and they all...

That is wonderful! The whole thing is beautiful. Margie is a cutie!

That is very pretty.

Hello I'm new too, but it seems like you are in the right place if you want to learn! :thumb:

Hello I'm from New Orleans. :clown: Nice to meet you. I can not wait to see all the custom things you are planning come to fruition!

Hi! This does seem to be a good place. Lots of info, friendly people and people post / help on a regular basis. Nice to meet you. :D

:turn-l: From one new member to another, Welcome!

From a newbie :painting: Hello!

Hugs to all!! JohnPaul, Thank you. Since I came on here and got pointed in the bacterial bloom direction I have read and read and you all are right! :band: I am doing smaller water changes (2-6 gallons) every other day, using Prime (was using Aqua Safe) water conditioner. I just have to wait...

I am FAR from an expert but did you use a water conditioner when you did the water change? Tap water has ammonia in it. An article on ammonia poisoning Fish Disease - Ammonia Poisoning

Thanks. That was what I figured. I will keep my little zen garden outside of the tank then. LOL Thank you

Wait! I can put the bamboo I have in my tank? Completely under water and it will not die? I bought it at the Walgreens as few months ago. I have a little bamboo, about 6 inches high and it sits in a little vase outside of the tank. I saw bamboo at Petco, but I figured that they did not care if...

:D Very fun thread and names!

Yay! My test kit came today! Along with a bottle of Prime and my in the tank thermometer. After a LONG day at work I came home and played scientist. Test results: Ammonia : 0 ppm Nitrite: 0 ppm Nitrate: 5 ppm pH: 7.6 I had done a 5 gallon water change. Fish are still swimming. My pleco is...

My tank is also going through a milk stage. *pouts* I was given some excellent advice here just like you. Deep Seven also gave me link that helped A LOT. Cloudy Water - Cloudy Water Causes and Cures Good info there. Don't give up. Keep you head tight and take your time. Seems like hasty...

Hello! So many sweet people here!

Wow. Beautiful!

Newbies are easy to shock! LOL When I first read this I sat here like :shocked!: LOL Hope the gobie is safe and back where he belongs.

Standing ovation! Mandy, Congrats to you for caring enough to make sure this Betta has enough room and clean water. Also for realizing that your teacher is so busy that he might not have extra time every day or so for water changes. I also imagine that during school breaks and weekends there...

Congrats on the kitty! You sure you aren't planting mice so you can get a cat?!? LOL! *teasing* Thank you, HeathB. *waves*

I admit, I pretend they all rush over because I call. They luv me! :zip: I refuse to admit they only care because I have freeze dried worms. :eating: I do allow delusions to make me believe it is me Wallie loves since he ignores others by the tank. I just choose to ignore that I am the only...

I wish that I could help. My Betta eats anything, flake, freeze dried brine shrimp, freeze dried blood worms, he even nibbles on the algae tabs I drop in for the pleco. Fin rot scares me but I have no issues or experience with that. I hope someone much more helpful than me comes along. Good luck...

As a mom: That whole "late to dinner and stuff" annoys us and we tend to lash out at the hobby /person / thing that 'causes' our beloved children to 'misbehave'. Stop being late to dinner and stuff. That is a must! Every time you run behind for any reason she will turn it into, "those darned...

You asked.... My Betta is named Wallie. My boyfriend surprised me with him on Valentine's Day with a copy of the Movie, Wallie. >Please remember to turn your head AWAY from your computer when puking.< ;) My Neon Tetras all looked the same and I was joking when we put them in the tanks that they...

Thank you! I really do like the people here.
