    Odd Betta behavior

    This is my first betta fish I’ve ever had. I’ve had two 55g tanks, one salt and one fresh, a 20g fresh, and a 10g fresh, but the fresh were tropical and semi aggressive tanks. ANYWAYS, I’ve had my betta in a half gallon for about a month and a half (I know, not big enough) so I decided to get...

    Now that my tank is up and running, and my fishless cycle is in progress, I've been putting together my stock list. On live aquaria.com it says most of these fish are peaceful. I can remove the semi agg. Ones if needed or not compatible and a few other if there's too many fish there. Suggestions...

    Fishless cyclin

    I have done a freshwater tank before. In fact it was the same tank I'm talking about right now.. The only difference is that it is now a saltwater tank with 3 8lb pieces of live rock in it! I was wandering if the saltwater cycle in any different?! 55 gallon tank, live sand as well.

I've ordered furan-2 off amazon but it is supposed to arrive on the 17th, next week. I had one packet of furan2 left over from my 20 gallon and...

    Columnaris, dominating my tank.

    So the title says it all. I bought a BNP from a LFS a while back. I posted in this forum to see what I should do and I was recommended Furan 2. I've treated it once and it seemed to go away for about a month. I know this because I had a gold gourami in it for about that time. Well I recently...

    Peacock eel, missing?

    I haven't seen my peacock eel today or yesterday. I put some frozen blood worms in there last night. Usually (like at the pet store) don't they have their heads poking out of the substrate? I haven't seen it do that either! Please help!
