Thanks for all the suggestions guys, they are all extremely helpful. I cannot believe how attached I am getting to this little fish, he is like my baby.

Hi Everyone, I have an aqueon 10 gallon starter kit with a preset heater. It is supposed to keep the tank at 78 but it is barely keeping the tank at 75. I have two stick on thermometers. I read that Bettas are better off with a temp around 80. I keep looking at heaters online and cannot seem...

I thought pea puffers kill eachother?

Thanks everyone. I think I want a betta. Only one fish to focus on and care for. If I really mess up, I won't lose an entire school.

Ahhh we do have very hard water around here. I am trying to find the exact number but I know that it is extremely hard. The bettas in that store looked like hell. Maybe that is why she steered me away from looking at the Bettas. She might have been aware that the hard water around here is bad...

Hi everyone. I am totally new to this. How does 6 or 8 gold white cloud minnows and some cherry shrimp sound for a 10 gallon? Is that too much? I could skip the shrimp but I was hoping I could use them as a clean up crew. I don't like snails and I don't think I have enough room for corys...

Hi there, It is nice to meet you all. My name is Nicole and I am setting up my first tank. It is only a 10 gallon and I am going to stock it with 6 or 8 gold white cloud minnows. If I do okay with them, I am going to get a bigger tank and try to add more. My other hobby is horses so this is...
