OK, so this is going to be a long one... This all started a month and a half ago. 29 gallon, 4 year old cycled tank had a filter that failed. It was a Fluvial 106 canister that had been on the tank 2 of the 4 years. We were away when it failed, and the person feeding "didn't notice" the filter...

Hello all Just here to learn all I can to help my 4yr old daughter care for her betta, Fred. We currently have him in a 2.5 gal Aqueon Mini Bow tank with the included filter, which seems to be working well. We have a Marina submersable heater as well. Fred seems to be very happy with his current...
