thanks everyone. I will stick with Aquasafe, as it's most commonly available in my region

What do people think is the best dechlorinator and why? I only used tetra aqua safe but hear good things about seachem prime and API. What others are there?

I will be sure to upload more photos soon. I haven't seen the fish flare often, making me suspect it might be a female, as my other male bettas seem to flare quit frequently. On top of that, I haven't seen any form of bubble nest being built. I suspect it's a female

That's what I figured. It's a shame tho

Yesterday I went to my LFS, looking to buy some supplies, and as one does, spotted a betta which I just had to have. It was a short finned galaxy koi betta, living in a community tank. I asked about it and was told that it was a male. I bought it and introduced it to my community tank and he...

I have had a school of 6 corydora swarzi for about a month now and they seemed to be pretty active from day to day bases. A couple of days ago I noticed the school went from 6 to 5. I looked around the tank and was unable to spot the last one, since the tank is heavily planted. I didn't think...

Don't worry I feed bloodworms once/twice a week. Today I bought Sera insect flakes (larvae), the closest thing I could find to Fluval Bug bites. The corries seem to love them. They get a mix of plates and pallets sera and hakari. In the future I hope to introduce live food in their diet, but...

So I recently got a group of 6 corydora swarzi in my 60l planted community tank. They settled in quit quickly, are active and enjoy foods such as high quality flake and pallet. They have even been eating froze tublex worms, but they eat the bloodworm and then spit them out through their gills...

Honey gouramis are very peaceful and get along with all other community fish. Here are some idea for tank mates any smaller tetra/rasboras, small rainbows, hatchetfish etc. In terms of bottom dwellers; kuhli loaches, corrys, plecos etc. Paradise fish look very similar to gouramis and can be kept...

Just scoop them out with a net or just a cap. But if you want to keep the bucket filled with water but want to eliminated the chance of any mosquitoes laying more eggs, add some kind of lid.

yes

You don't need to worry about introducing disease from live food such as brine shrimp. BP fry require live foods to be raised, but they will grow lower (like all fish) Do add cool water? If you want to trigger these fish, do a 50%-80% COOL water change, as this will trick them into thinking...

Yep they are definitely mature. What are your water parameters like? When was the last time you did a water change?
