Thanks for the ideas. Setting up a new tank is so much fun even if only 10 gal! I think I might have an addiction going on here. 😂

I really like the idea of a shrimp and gourami tank! Never had either of those. I would probably have to have a sponge filter with shrimp right? I have a hob filter i was going to use but shrimp might get sucked up the intake. I will do more research on both of those. Thanks!

I have a friend that put a clown loach in a 2 gallon tank, then wanted to know what else she could put with it.

Hi, you said you ran your tank for 24 hours before adding the fish. Cycling a tank properly tanks much longer. Can you check your perimeters and ask PetSmart the actual results, not just ok.

Hi, welcome! Back to the ammonia in your tank, what are you using as a water conditioner? I'm kinda new here but if I'm not mistaken Sechem Prime would help bind the ammonia and help keep it safe for your fish. Just a suggestion..

Love seeing everyone's Bettas. Here is a photo of mine. His name is Alpha betta.
