    Cory cat

    I've heard that half frozen water, done correctly, is rather painless. Also I don't know where to get clove oil, I couldn't find it at the store. NH3: 0 NO2-: 0 NO3-: ~25 Ok thanks. I think that's what I'm gonna do

    Cory cat

    Hi! So I've had a Cory in my Betta tank for a while (the reason I only have one in there is because, when I first got him for my planted tank, there was too much co2, so I quickly removed the 4 cories I had originally bought and put them in my Betta tank, and three died within the month. That...

    29 Gallon Tank Stocking

    +1 I like to keep my cories at a minimum of 5 per species, but you could maybe just add one or two more of each. For a centerpiece you could do a gourami or an angelfish or something like that. In my 30g I will have some cories, neons, ADF, and a gourami.

    Restarting 30 gal planted

    Alright. So today I went out and bought a gold gourami and 4 emerald cories. They're all loving their new tank!

    Ummm Cories almost died on entry

    :( one of the cories died last night. He wasn't doing to well to begin with, but I hoped that he would recover like the others.

    Also, how many shrimp should I put in there?

    Shrimp in 1.5 gal?

    Hi guys! I have a 1.5 gal that I used for a hospital tank when one of my fish got sick and it was the only thing I could get on that short notice. I know nothing about shrimp, but I was thinking about maybe using the 1.5 for shrimp. Would that work? Also, can anyone point me in the right...

    Ummm Cories almost died on entry

    Alright so just an update. I've had the Cories with my betta for almost 10 days. They are definitely becoming much more active, and they've been eating a combination of aqueon algae rounds, bottom feeder tablets, and another bottom feeder food that I can remember the name of and its not near me...

    Pretty proud if I say so myself :)

    I think dwarfs are 100% fw. But most if not all others are brackish/sw

    My understanding is that dwarf puffers won't do well with other community fish. Someone will have to check me me on that though. Nice tank

    A bunch of beautiful Betta boys.

    That's true. I'm just thinking that maybe there's a way to incorporate the divisions into the natural look. Idk

    If you wanted to do a planted tank, you could use plants to hide the dividers.

    Just FYI, I think topfin is a petsmart brand. Not sure though. But any small filter will work

    Yep. I have a day/night timer, so my co2 and lights are synced. I also run an air stone at night.

    For my 5 gal betta tank I have a topfin 10 gal. It works pretty well, especially if it's just one fish. It might be a little overkill for a 2.5 though.

    Ummm Cories almost died on entry

    Yeah, well that's what I planned on doing, but I forgot to lower that before getting the fish. Also, the reason the drop checker was in the yellow range was because I didn't have any fish yet. So I was just stimulating plant growth. Now that I have fish, I definitely intend to keep it at the...

    Yeah, I thought about that possible conflict with the gourami. I guess I'll have to get another tank, lol. I need to stop....

    CPDs are celestial pearl danios. They're a peaceful fish.

    Hey, you think I could add CPDs to that stock list? Or would that be too much?

    5 gal. tank ideas?

    Oh alright. I didn't know that. That might work then.

    Carpet?

    I thought about LEDs when I first got my current fixture, but my lfs guy sold me on this over the equivalent LEDs which were more expensive. Also, what is 24/7 mode? Yes, I'm definitely getting leaf zone tomorrow. And yeah, I know there's a lot I can do with this and honestly, I am very...

    5 gal. tank ideas?

    For a 5?? I have my dwarf gourami in a 23, I wouldn't recommend for under a 20 gal IMO. And definitely not a not-dwarf gourami. Some of those get upwards of 5-6 inches, maybe larger idk.
