Ok. I havent tested the betta water, but i will now. As stated above, the Nitrite levels are in the stress zone in the 10 gal. So i will have to work on that. I think they were being a little over-fed. I would feed them in the morning, and at night. Just about a pinch of flakes..but when i...

and do you have any idea as to what is up with my betta being lethargic? He is VERY healthy and had plenty of room to swim in his private 3 gallon. but he likes to lay in the rocks, on his castle, or on a leaf for most of the day. Oh thank you Caprichoso!! I thought those Bio-Bags were great...

lol ok! i am kind of new to this still. I have been keeping betta's for about 4 years now. But they are fairly simple. I will stop changing the filter so often. How often should it be changed? And i am just now starting to raise the temp in the tank. its at 80 like usual but i am going to 85...

I do about 50% of the water daily since this ich came about lol. Im afraid that the little things might be hiding in the rocks at the bottom...I kinda want to throw them out! and the tank is usually like i said 78-80 degrees. I use the Tetra Ich disolving tabs. There is almost no white spots on...

I have a 10 gallon freshwater tank. It had 2 tiger barbs, a green barb, a ruby barb, a yellow barb (dont recall the actual name) and a sucker fish. Well, one of the tiger barbs died last weekend when they all first got Ich..this morning the green and yellow barb passed...i have been treating...
