    Betta Has Green Patch On Chin...

    No, that is not my fish, it's one that resembles my fish that I found on google. The green is a mix of white and green and it appears to be on top... Do you think it could be the start of velvet???

    Betta Has Green Patch On Chin...

    Sorry, my digital camera's batteries are dead and I don't have any more... :( I could google it and try to find one that resembles what I'm seeing tho.

    Betta Has Green Patch On Chin...

    I've had my Betta for a week now and I took him out of the tank so I could change his water... As I was putting him back in, I noticed that he has a patch of green on his chin... It's shiny like his other scales, but it concerns me. What could this be??? Is it normal???

    Filter And Fish

    I have an undergravel filter and it works well for me. I clean it once a week and my tank is fine. I like them, and I would give it a go if I were you. It may help your situation.

    Gravel

    I usually add gravel every time I do a water change (partial or whole). That works pretty well for me. But what the person above me suggested might work too. :)

    Feeding My Betta...

    I feed him 3 Betta bits twice daily. Do you think that is too much???

    Please Help... Beginner Aqua Hobbyists

    How long have you had your fish in the tank with the salt? How are they doing with the salt? If they're doing ok, I wouldn't change anything. Some salt is ok for most fish. Salt also aides in healing if your fish is sick or injured. So, you didn't completely waste your money.

    Heaters

    I think it'll be fine to completely submerge the heater. I haven't encountered one that couldn't be. If you're still unsure, got to the website and ask, or give customer service a ring and see what they say. (PLease keep in mind that I have only used one heater of 25 watts.)

    A Small Heater In A Big Tank Dilema

    If the heater was made for a smaller tank, it will insufficiently heat the bigger tank. Since the tank you previously owned was in the 5-7 gal. range, I assume you got a 25 watt heater (those are made for up to 5 gal. tanks). I'd invest in a heater that was made for a 20 gal. tank just to be on...

    Beginner Advice

    I completely forgot about guppies! They're awesome! They only require 1 US Gallon of water per guppy and they prefer to live in groups. If you want multiple fish, these guys are for you! :)

    Help On New Tank

    I wouldn't add any more fish to that tank. And if you still want to add some, the only fish I would go with are more goldfish. That way, you know for sure that they'd be compatible with the fish already in the tank, water temperature and food.

    Beginner Advice

    Well, I know you probably want more than one fish, but I suggest investing in a Betta. They're very interactive once they get comfortable in their new surroundings. They're fairly easy to care for and they can live in a small tank. I currently have one (male), and he's beautiful! I have him...
