She was egg bound and it was too late. The Epsom salt was a good tip though. I had been trying that, but it was just too far along. Thank you for your advice.

Tank size: 7.5 Gallons pH: 8.0 (I know it is high, it is just this area's water) ammonia: None nitrite: None nitrate: .5 ppm kH: high (as always) gH: high (as always) tank temp: 77 degrees Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): The betta has...

snap. Well at least he has the Cory's as friends now.

Those are really cute, but are you sure they should be living with a betta? Most bettas tend to be aggressive, but I have heard of some fish that can live with them.

I do not know too much about the cichlids and sharks except for the fact that cichlids tend to prefer being alone, and that both cichlids and sharks tend to be agressive and should not be put into a tank with peaceful community fish. If you do put these in combination with types of sharks that...

BN Plecos are the best. I agree that is a BN pleco. reminds me of when mine was younger. Makes me all sentimental.

I'm pretty sure that is a Bristlenose Pleco. He looks very similar to the one I have. How long ago did you get it? It looks like its female and that it is about a year or two old. What do you want to know about it? I have alot you can learn about it :D .

lol I'm not sure whether I should comment on any of this or not. I'm a Miami Dolphins fan XD. They may not be the best, but they are the team my family and I root for. I think because they are so closely related to what this forum is on they deserve some respect :D .

don't euthanize him. I accidentaly bought a tetra missing half of his tailfin. he still puts up a good fight with the other tetras. my guess might be old age but it could be anything. age makes them more susceptible to disease.

My LFS has African driftwood. really expensive but beautiful.

I do not own an aqueon filter but its a Tetrafin. try to keep teh ammonia levels as low as you can. It will not completely disappear until the bacteria muchure but it will keep your fish safe until then. I wish you the best of luck.

i dont suggest letting the cartridges float around. too much motion kills the bacteria. keep it in the filter and leave it alone. follow what i have said and you can count on keeping your remaining fish depending on their health. these other guys have great advice too.

BN plecos definitely. Just an opinion. I love those little guys but Im suggesting smaller fish than a BN pleco. 

im sorry. i forget many people dont have a major education on fish keeping. so your filter is there for 2 reasons. the first is to take particles out of the water but it has a second purpose most people dont know about. It keeps bacteria colonies in it that take ammonia and nitrites out of the...

Fish are much healthier when they eat less than when they eat more. Overfeeding could cause them to have liver and kidney problems. Its bad news. remember a fishs stomach is about as big as its eyeball. look at that flake in your hand and ask youself is it about as big as his eyeball. Most...
