    Sick Pristella Tetra

    it is planted yes. That's kind of what I was thinking it might be time to go to heaven, I don't want him to be in pain nor affect any of the other fish. If I was going to do so how would I go about that. I have read so many different things online I'm not sure what I feel is the most humane...

    Adding air to a 280

    Oooh okay. No the fish are not showing any signs of struggling. Currently there is an fx5 and an fx6 on this tank. Rehoming is not an option for them. Oh yeah good idea about the output nozzle I wasn't even thinking of that. So do you think I even need the air stones? I'm just paranoid since...
