So pretty.. what a great picture!!! :good:

Just out of curiosity, is your fish tank receiving direct sunlight? The reason I'm asking is that direct sunlight plays a role in the development of algae. While it may or may not be possible for you to move the location of your tank, there are a number of ways you can better maintain your tank...

I would definitely caution you to read the description prior to either purchasing another fish tank stand or bidding on one. You're right to not want to risk it and take chance that it may not be strong enough to support your tank. To get a gauge for a price comparison, I like looking at the...

I have heard good things about CaribSea Moon Tahitian Moon Gravel, since it contains bacteria that helps with the water quality within your home aquarium. My roommate likes it because it's easy to use and you can use tap water with it.

I like the Hagen Fluval Chi Aquarium! While I don't have one (yet), I currently have my Betta in a simple bowl. I'm really close to getting one because not only does it look amazing, but it allows Bettas to reach the surface of the water and breathe.

Congratulations on your raffle win!! What an exciting place to work.. As for Bettas.. they ARE beautiful type of hearty freshwater fish that are relatively low-maintenance. Their origin stems from the warm waters of Thailand and other Southeastern countries and they thrive in warmer water...

When it comes to choosing the best water test kit or any water test kit (at that) within your home aquarium, it's important that it's user-friendly and comprehensive enough for you to utilize as well as for keeping your pet fish healthy, happy and stress-free!

I'm sure you will be fine.. as long as the filter isn't creating too strong of a current or too strong of a suction within your 3-gallon home aquarium. Just keep an eye on it and make sure that it's still a comfortable living environment for your fish. You might want to add more stress coat in...

Yes, it could have stowed away on one of the plants. The same thing happened to us a few years ago. Be careful because just as what has already been stated, they have a tendency to multiply quite rapidly. Also, keep an eye on the health of your live plants because plants are a snail's meal of...

Congratulations!! They ARE uber beautiful, aren't they? Note that Bettas are relatively hearty and low-maintenance, when compared to most other species of tropical fish. Having originated from warm waters of Thailand and other Southeastern countries, Bettas known to thrive in water with...

Congratulations on your Siamese Fighting Fish! When it comes to Bettas, remember that they originate from the warm, shallow waters of Southeast Asia (Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc.). Thus, they thrive in water that is relatively warm (between 77-80 degrees). When it comes to caring for a...

Congrats on the Hagen Fluval Edge Home Aquarium ! I have always wanted one as it's one of the most aesthetically pleasing aquariums out there. My suggestion would be for you to rinse the sand out thoroughly. or use different substrate for the bottom. Has the filter started working again? As for...

Wow, I stand corrected on giving peas to Bettas. Thanks fellas :good:

Yes I have also heard that plecos tend to produce a good amount of waste(poop). Once you move them into a bigger aquarium, then maybe you can look into some stronger filters.. also, have you considered adding some clown loaches? they're scavengers and do great with cleaning up a lot of the waste...

They're carnivores, so I don't think that feeding them peas would be the best for them. I feed mine bloodworms (freeze dried) and Betta pellets. The pellets that I use are Hikari Bio-Gold Betta fish food-- they're made of shrimp meal and other stuff that Bettas like. Plus, they don't make the...
