    Betta Aquascaping

    I'm looking at aquascaping for a breeding pair of elephant ear betta, I haven't bought anything yet so I'm pretty open to ideas. I am planning for a 10 gallon tank, and I unfortunately have never done a tank with live plants and am not sure what would be best. I'm not in a huge rush, though I...

    First Time Cycling Fish Tank Alone.

    Okay, so I've been raised around fish tanks for most of my life but I can't seem to get this darn thing right on my own.
