    cycling questions

    I think part of the problem was that after the ich, I did a major cleaning. I cleaned under everything very thorough and also cleaned the filter pretty good. I'm going to try to cycle the tank before I get more fish. I don't want to deal with anymore deaths!

    cycling questions

The Berta is going to stay in the 5 and I'm going to set up the 10 next week. First, I would like to do fishless using ammonia. How do I know how much...

    Anyone around the Chicago area?

    I'm in the oak brook area. Besides tropiquatics, are there any other good freshwater shops? Seems like a lot of places are primarily saltwater.

    Beta in Edge

    Bettas need to breathe surface air too. So you need to make sure he has surface air available too.
