I will let someone else answer your question as to what to do, but some advice I could give is set up like a 10-20 gallon quarantine tank (I usually do bare bottom, no lighting, filter, some soft fake plants floating or anchored depending on fish) to house any new fish in for about 2 weeks and...

  Possibly. They are a bit closer to a window than they were before. The crown tail is much more aggressive than my veil tail. So maybe that's why he has more damage? I've always had issues with my veil tail's fins even though the water quality has always been good and has had the best care...

  Even though one day their tails were fine and the next day they were completely destroyed like this?

I recently moved and now live in a place that runs off of city water. I purchased the API water conditioner (store was out of Seachem prime -- I hear that is the best you can get). I also transported all of my cycled media to jump start my cycle. I haven't been able to test the water parameters...

Hi everyone,    I was wondering if anyone could give me any information on starting a Betta sorority tank!    Tank size minimum? Fish minimum? Age fish should be to start out? Do they have to be of the same variety?    These are a few questions I have as of now. Any other advice or experience is...

          Thank You all for the input! Like I said, my tanks are already cycled, not overstocked, and fish are all healthy So I wouldn't have any need for this product. I was just genuinely curious about it since I had never seen something like this before! Thanks for the input! (Also, these...

Cool! I would keep a few and raise them up. Then sell them once they reach adulthood! Just to see what kind of funky fish you get :)

So, I was at wal mart the other day and saw Jungle Start Zyme, which is supposedly supposed to jump start your cycle. It even claims on the bottle to use it once a month for an established tank. I have never used it, and all of my tanks are already cycled. But I was curious as to what everyone's...

No bark at all. And completely solid.

No, unfortunately I wasnt paying attention to what type of trees were around me when I found it. It was up sort of in this cavern/ rock over hang by the river so I am thinking it floated down river from a flood several months ago to be as high in that cavern as it was and to be totally dried...

Hi guys, I found some really lovely pieces of drift wood by the river. They are completely dried out and dead. It is my first experience with drift wood, and I have never bought drift wood, so I really have no idea where to begin with treating it. Any advice is welcome! Thanks!

I collected some glass off of the river that has been smoothed down like sea glass, I was wondering if I wash it well would it be okay to put in my betta tank? All of the edges are smooth.    If you dont know what I am talking about or need a visual, here is a link to River Glass (not...

If you have ever stepped foot into a store, then you probably have seen the fake flowers/ greenery most stores like the Dollar Store, Michael's, Wal Mart etc. have to offer. I was wondering if anyone has used these fake plants in their aquariums or if that is even safe to do?    Thanks for the...

Just remember that green algae is actually good :) It helps bring oxygen into the water and your fish probably like to snack on it as well. Maybe only scrub the frontal view? It isnt very pretty but just a thought!

Its a bare bottom tank with soft plants/ rock cave at the bottom. No missing scales. And he doesnt seem to be acting sick, still very active & eating well. Over all seems really healthy. I was curious about treating it because I just found out about columnaris. Do you buy metheylene blue dips at...
