I'm surprised no one has pointed at a betta setup. Bettas are loaded with personality and would consider a 10g a nice home. You could probably add in a few friends as well.
Sometimes, funny and alarming scenarios pop up in aquariums. One time, I thought my molly was pecking at one of my Mystery snails, turns out he was eating the algae on his back XD
Hey guys,
My heater just broke and I'm not able to get a new one, as my parents say "the water's fine". Even if I could buy it with my own money, they wouldn't let me. Is there any a possible way to keep the tank warm without the heater? And please don't suggest trying to changes my parent's...
Make sure you have test kits for the cycle. It may seem confusing at first, but it's really not, even I can understand it, and I'm not as old as you think.
EDIT* I forgot: Welcome to TFF
Cories will always be one of the more commonly used catfish for a reason, they're entertaining to watch and do a good job of cleaning up too. I would recommend cories or maybe some kuhli loaches.
They're painted glass fish. They will lose their color about one month into their life in captivity, and they get sick a lot easier than other fish. I would suggest returning them for another kind of species of fish.
Hey guys,
My heater [Tetra HT10 (50W)] is constantly flickering between the red light and the green light, and at times, the light will turn off at long intervals.
The tank is constantly at around 70* F, which really isn't preferable.
Is it supposed to do this?
