@ Sniperhawk: Thanks! I'm still learning all the lingo... Anyway, here are my levels about 24 hours after my last testing: Day 6: ph: 7.8-8.0 Ammonia: 1.0 ppm Nitrite: 0.50-1.0 ppm Nitrate: ~ 10 ppm Temp: 80 degrees Added 4 more drops of ammonia and I'll test again in about twenty minutes...

I'm sorry I don't know what BB is. ^^; Regardless, I'll be testing at the same time as yesterday when I get home to see how the levels are doing. But yes the live rock was cured. I guess I just didnt think Of the rock as being seeding material even though it pretty Obviously is... xD

DAY 5: Ammonia 2.0 Nitrite 0.25 pH 7.8 Nitrate 10 Day 5! I've been dosing with ace janitorial ammonia. I think up to about 2-3 ppm (I'm not sure yet of the correct drops to get it to 4) and already I'm seeing nirtrites and nitrates which makes me think something is wrong?? Opinions? Or is this...

Added 24 more pounds of live rock, which rounds me out to about 27 pounds. I may add another rock later on for aesthetic purposes but for now I'm pleased. There are lots of caves and swim-through areas for the eventual inhabitants, so I think they'll be pleased. The price of it still kills...

As promised I tested the water parameters when I got home. This is what I found: Day 1: pH: 7.4-7.8 Ammonia: 0.25 ppm Nitrite: 0 ppm Nitrate: 0 ppm Temp: 79 degrees Turns out that I do need the refractometer in order to test the salinity, so I'll be picking one of those up as soon as I can...

Oh I see you meant pounds per gallon! I don't know what I thought you meant but... yea. Gotcha! In that case I will be adding much, much more. :3

Alrighty, so that's what I have so far. I still have to "dust" off the sand from the glass so that's why it looks sorta weird. And, clearly, we need at least two more rocks because just one is so... plain! The thermometer, I just realized, detached from the side so I'll have to figure out a...

In cycling mode... Hopefully fish in a couple of weeks!

Alrighty then! After months of practically giving up on the aquarium hobby (my last attempt broke my spirit after I was misinformed by my local fish store) I have decided to come back... with a bang, even! An innocent (psh) journey to a new aquarium store was how it all started. "Just to look"...

I also purchased BettaFix to try and rule out anything bacterial.. I'm going to start the medication today.

Oh, and I almost forgot! He is extremely active, eats well, and flares up at me every time I put my face close to the tank, so he doesn't seem to be all that affected by it...

Okay, so here is my beautiful betta that I imported from Thailand. He is a tri-colored HM plakat, and I absolutely love him to death. He is my little puppy! Anyways... Back to the topic at hand. He has had this white looking spot thingy on the top of his head since I got him. At first I...

Thanks! :D I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to breed him... I'm leaning toward a yes, but I don't think that I have the skill nor the space to do it. -sigh- Such a tragedy!

Half-moon plakat :) and thank you! Im thinking that he had a rough last leg of the trip cause the mailman was throwing his box around @_@ but he's pretty lively so it seems like he is doing well!

YouTube - ‪HMP waiting to be moved into his home!‬‏ There is a little video of him examining me and my iPhone. ^^; He's so cute. Right now I have him in an established tank while I wait for his home to be cycled and pretty and what not...

Yupp! I got mine from aquabid.com from ploybettas. Very helpful. But definitely the mailman was what would have been the end of him! So far he's doing okay I'll have pictures in a few :)

I was thinking maybe two or three...

Well he came today so hopefully he does okay I'm en route to bein home but apparently the mailman was being pretty rough with him :/

I need some! Cost for 90713?

Okay I just want to take good care of him cause I ordered him from Thailand and it was expensive -_- haha. Can anyone link me tl the thread with the DW for sale? I can't find it on the app!

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback! You think it would be okay to put some DW with him? I don't want it to tear his fins or anything.

Me neither but some things I've read before said to be aware of plants that are poisonous to bettas but they NEVER list them! Thanks for the help. :D

Hey there! I'm starting up a new betta tank! It's a 20 gallon tank, and it's going to be display. I'm constructing a DIY divider so that I may keep either two males or a male and a few females together. Anyway, like I said before it is going to be a "display" tank, so it needs to be...
