    Pleco wonā€™t eat

    Hi, I got what I believe to be a common pleco about two days ago, heā€™s in a 4ft 250L tank. Iā€™m concerned for him as he wonā€™t go near the drift wood Iā€™ve provided, instead he tends to prefer a wooden-looking barrel instead. The barrel is plastic so heā€™s not eating it. I canā€™t seem to convince him...

    Female Betta with Clamped Fins

    This past June, a friend of mine gave me two female Betta fish in a split half-gallon tank for my birthday. I have since moved them into separate 3 gallon filtered tanks from API.
