    Please help! Betta and Cory cats

    Thanx! I finally found cloverleaf absolute wormer + which is flubendazole! The instructions just say to use 1 time per month for prevention though? Any recommendations on dosing and how long before might see improvement? I was considering separating betta to a 5 gallon hospital tank for...

    Cories keep dying

    Hmm can I ask what type of Cory you have been trying to keep? No other large bottom feeder in tank like Pleco etc? Sounds like you have a good amount of hiding spots but you ever notice the cichlid or angles harassing them? I have found that Cory do not handle stress well. I also was...

    Dwarf corydora Habrosus (salt and pepper)

    Thank you! I was just worried 9 with my betta and snail in a 10 gallon would be overstocked. You don’t think so? I know they only get about an inch big… Should I just monitor my levels for awhile to be sure and look for signs of stress? Also Completely agree with the gravel as well I have small...

    Dwarf corydora Habrosus (salt and pepper)

    Anyone have experience keeping these guys in a 10 gallon tank? Wondering how they do and experienced stocking recommendations (inter webs has wide range from 3-10) lol. I bought a group of 6 from lfs however after having them for a bit I have realized they were actually baby peppered Cory...

    Please help! Betta and Cory cats

    Seriously thank you so much for the help! I think it has been over a week or so since I first noticed but only noticeably frequent the last few days. There is no white spots I can see on any of them and I did a fair inspection of the one I lost as well. Ive got some aquarium salt ordered to be...

    Please help! Betta and Cory cats

    Thank you for the advice on betta I had thought looked “skinny” but was so when I got from store and have been trying to feed more than I normally would (betta pellets and freeze dried blood worms) I have some frozen stuff so will start giving that too and increase feedings to several times a...

    Please help! Betta and Cory cats

    Oh also PH is between 6.5-7 and tank temp kept around 79 degrees. I also have a 55 gallon been up and running for years the only thing different I have been doing is I use a neutral regulator for my 55 when doing water changes but have only been using prime in this tank due to the small size I...

    Sorry just saw this! Fluval P50 it’s a preset one but Aqueon pro 50 heater is adjustable but same type of finish :)

    New tank complete.

    Cory are schooling fish so it’s recommended to have at least 6 to keep the little guys happy. :) also another food for thought is substrate choice matters with Cory since they nuzzle around in gravel you want a smooth substrate - I used aqua natural gold pearl its super small smooth round gravel...

    New tank complete.

    Just fyi as I know you mentioned maybe doing a sorority but I can’t remember how big your tank your setting up is- the s+p Cory are VERY active I wouldn’t recommend more than 1 Betta with them in 10 gallon. Not to mention stock wise per aqadvisor 1 betta and 6 S+P pretty much maxes out 10 gallon.

    New tank complete.

    Thanx! It’s actually a half coconut shell can find them on amazon and the filter is a sponge filter with media “basket” by upettools (also on amazon) Hygger makes a double one but was way too big for this tank [emoji4] the hygger single doesn’t have the extra spot for media so went with the...

    Royal mess up lol

    So… been setting up new 10 gallon tank and I had a sponge filter getting seasoned in my 54 gallon. For good measure I also pulled out sponges from my canister filter and gave them a squeeze in small amount of water and dumped that in new tank as well. Was doing my best to avoid cycle headache in...
