How to care for java moss

I've got some java moss on the way from Zorchzon and I'm excited to get it in my tank. I'm planning to use it on my terracotta pot cave ornament to cover up the visible bits. I've attached anubias to my ornaments and driftwood with a safe super glue before, but I've never worked with java moss. To ...

Re: helping a betta with fin rot


I just rescued a betta from Walmart - I know, I know, it's a gamble, but I couldn't resist. This little guy was stuck on a back shelf, his vibrant blue water had turned clear, and he was literally starving. To make matters worse, he's got a nasty case of fin rot. I've had my fair share of happy ...

Choosing between 2 or 3 chambers in a divided tank

The Story:

I set up a 10-gallon tank back in May, using some reused filter media from my main tank to get it cycled. I added one of my mystery snails to keep the wood pieces I bought free of that annoying white stuff. She's done a great job so far. Initially, I planned to turn this tank into a ...

Re: Caring for marimo moss balls

I'd like to add a warning about duckweed - it's a nightmare to deal with. While it's easy to grow and find, it's a huge mistake, especially if you have mechanical filtration like a simple HoB or canister filters. Duckweed is incredibly aggressive, sucking up all the nutrients in the water and ...

Re: fins damaged, what's the cause?


I recently adopted a Betta from PetSmart and I'm absolutely loving him - the experience of having one at the office really drew me in. He seems super healthy and happy, even building a bubble nest within two days of being in his new home.

I do have some concerns about his fins, though. The cup ...
