The ropes are at least 11" long already, one likes to hide in the decorations a lot and the other hangs out and swims around the tank a decent amount. Should I rehome the pleco and keep all of the tetras?

The lab is pretty big, and the previous owner said he picks on the tetras so I was thinking about rehoming him but I haven't noticed aggression but I'm sure he does since he's a lone African Cichlid. I wish I had another tank to put the tetras in. I'm also going to add another canister filter, I...

I acquired a 75 gallon with the following fish: 8 Black Skirted Tetra 1 Yellow Lab 1 Common Pleco I have always wanted rope fish and also have been interested in bichirs, so I went to an upscale LFS nearby to pick up either 2 ropes or 1 rope and 1 bichir (was wanting senegal). The guy who was...

I have a 75 gallon that I acquired from someone (already cycled with preexisting fish) that's all set up and ready for an aquascape. I'm not currently at home and will have to take a look at the wattage, but it seems to be a pretty strong fluorescent bulb. The substrate is sand and smooth...

I visited my friend's apartment for the first time since she and her boyfriend had set up a gallon tank. They've had it for a few months. The current inhabitants are two blue gouramis about 2.5-3" long. I was so horrified I didn't know what to say or how to react, so unfortunately I just...

I know this is late but sorry to hear about your fishies :(

Haha my betta, Leon (silver and blackish or dark gray halfmoon), also attacks his food viciously. The betta looks much more lively!! :)

Here's another pic of the tank

I tried 2 adf before adding the betta and platy but I noticed they were pretty sick after bringing them home from Petsmart (I only have a petsmart and petco in the town I'm in for school) which I was afraid of. When I went back to return the two dead frogs (I was pretty upset) I noticed there...

Now that my 10 gallon is established I added some fish. Before my tank was fully cycled (before nitrates were showing up in my tests) I had added a betta and 3 Julii cories. I left for a weekend and came back to find a dead cory, weak betta, and ammonia readings of <.25 ppm (yellowish green test...

Thanks.. I just don't know what was wrong since my other fish are still fine! I've been doing daily water tests

I wish I could spend money to order a nice betta online but I really am trying to save money in any way I can (even though I'm still spending lol). I saw a beautiful white betta at petco. His behavior was the best out of their selection of bettas and just glancing at him he looked great...

I hope someone who can help replies soon! Id like to see what they have to say as well.

Hope you find out where she went! Sorry for your loss :(

Brock died... :'( good bye Brock, I didn't mean to kill you :( I shouldn't have added the other fish to a tank trying to cycle

I bought the tank from Petsmart but have been going to the local Petco. Frankly I don't like either but I only have access to privately owned fish stores when I go back to Houston on the weekends to visit my mom and cats. I'll try that tomorrow when I can. Any suggestions for keeping him from...

I have a 10 gallon top fun kit. The temperature seems to fluctuate between 78-80 F. The only tank mates are two Julii cories as one died over the weekend. I've only had the tank since last Friday or Saturday.. So I should have waited longer althought I had tested my water and it was doing...

You did mention it.. Unfortunately I couldn't go to the store and get it today :( I will have to go after my classes tomorrow. I am do upset that he id doing so poorly.. I am so attached to him. I have a feeling he isn't going to last much longer as he keeps getting stuck on plants and even got...

Here are two photos showing how his color has changed. I'm hoping you can properly see it, it's hard for me to get a good picture

I did another water change and it looks like the ammonia went down but I'm having a hard time discerning if there is still a trace of ammonia. It definitely went down though. I'm also afraid that the damage done to my betta is irreversible at this point, what do you think? :(

I will have to do another water change when I get home. I did what I estimated to be 40% water change earlier and the ammonia didn't change. Do I just keep changing until ammonia is 0? Also, is there anything I can do to save my betta besides pwc?

Ammonia .25 ppm Nitrate 0 Nitrite ~0 pH 8.2 API master test kit is what I'm using

I feel like a cruel idiot because I read those articles even before putting fish in, yet I went ahead and started with a betta then I got so anxious to put fish in that I went ahead and got the cories.. I'm afraid my betta looks like he isn't going to last much longer :(

I posted in the getting started section as I thought it was an appropriate place since my tank is new, however now I really need help with my betta. All of last week he was very happy and vibrant, zipping around the tank. I added 3 new Julii corys to my 10 gallon tank on the 10th, then left...

I am extremely sad to report that one of my Julii corycats died over the weekend :( I bought a trio from Petco on the 10th. I left town on the 11th and came back today to find one of them laying lifeless on top of a little cave I have for them. Being the sensitive soul that I am I cried for a...
