It was indeed from Pets at Home, and I'm surprised anyone would have left it on the shelf for so long - I feel like I ...

I've taken another look and I think I could actually fill it with gravel through the small hole at the top, thanks so ...

Is driftwood safe for a betta?

Hi everyone,

I'm seeking some advice on this mopani wood I bought for my tank. I got home and noticed the bottom is hollow with a rough interior and a small hole. I love the idea of a hiding spot for my Crowntail Betta, but I'm worried the roughness could damage his fins or he might get stuck. Can ...

Re: Finding the right rocks

I found this Aquarium Decoration Rock Fish Tank Natuflake Stone DARK GREY, it says it's 100% natural which sounds good for my tank. It's usually used for cichlids but I think it could work for my Betta. It stabilises pH and hardens the water, so that's a plus.

Re: Finding the right rocks

Hi, thanks for the response, I appreciate it.

I was looking at something similar to what you posted - those Houston Matrix rocks look great, would they be okay for my tank?

Can anyone recommend a dark rock, preferably black or grey, that ...

A beginner's guide to seachem betta care

Hi,

I'm considering using it and I was wondering if anyone has experience with it. Thinking of adjusting the pH, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea. My pH is currently 7.6.
