Re: help, my betta is sick

You'll also benefit from moving him to the bigger tank. Invest in the API master kit and test the water daily for ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates. Change at least 50% of the water, ideally 75%, whenever the ammonia and nitrites read above 0. You'll be doing this for a few weeks. What's the ...

Re: online resources for plant enthusiasts

That's quite a coincidence; I was just watching a KG Tropicals video about common mistakes YouTubers make. They had a trader on who made the same error, adding fresh plants to her aquariums, and it ended up costing her hundreds of shrimp.

online resources for plant enthusiasts

Morning all, hope you're having a great Sunday.
I'm looking to add plants to my new aquarium and I'm after some advice on where to order online from. I've recently set up a second tank, and as part of my plan, I'll be using RO water from my local aquatic shop to soften my water once it's cycled - I ...

Re: Caring for a sick betta: what's next

I'm a bit concerned about the filter, to be honest. I've heard of betta fins getting sucked in by those strong currents. I've got a pretty standard filter in my 6-gallon tank, but I'm not sure if it's the culprit.

To help you guys understand the situation better, I'll fill out the information you ...

Choosing between plakat and delta.

I just brought home my first Betta and I'm smitten. He's a dumbo male, not a female like I initially wanted, but I fell in love with him the moment I saw him. What really caught my attention though, is that he's blind in one eye - it's kind of sad, but it makes him all the more special.

I got him ...

creating a miniature garden on driftwood

Hi everyone
I've got a newly cycled tank with some driftwood that's been in there the whole time I was cycling it - about six weeks now.
I'm looking for some low-key plants to attach to it, nothing too flashy.
I'll have six corydoras in there, and maybe something else, still deciding.
