Who Gives A Fish Forums

I'm guessing it depends on the type of seeds you're using - what's the plant you're trying to grow? I've had my fair share of growing seeded plants outside the aquarium, and let me tell you, it's been a huge waste of time. Never attempted it inside the aquarium, though. Not sure if your substrate ...

Can this be done after a tank is filled or is it only allowed beforehand?

I've also been thinking about sparkling gouramis - they're a great choice for my tank. With its size, I could have a nice-sized group. I'm drawn to mouth brooders, there's something about them that I find really fascinating. Betta picta is one that's really caught my attention, their markings are ...

I've recently acquired a 30 gallon tank, thanks to my dad upgrading his hillstream biotope setup. I'm now the proud owner of this empty tank, but I'm stuck for ideas on what to stock it with.

My water parameters are pretty standard - pH is around 7.0, KH is 40 ppm, and GH is 30 ppm. The tank itself ...

I've been experimenting with a mix of things, so I rotate between live wingless fruit flies that I culture at home and a high-quality color flake. I also give my betta frozen brine shrimp as a treat once a week, I think it's a great way to add some variety to their diet.

My flake food is actually pretty good quality, doesn't have fish meal as the first ingredient. And don't worry, it's not expired either. The brine shrimp I've been feeding him are frozen ones. I'll definitely start mixing it up more and feeding him the brine shrimp daily now, thanks for the advice.

No idea what's wrong, but Musa is absolutely gorgeous, love the coloration on that little guy.

I'm concerned that Musa might be lacking some essential nutrients in his diet, so I'd like to know: what else do you feed him apart from color flakes? Do you mix it up or is it just the flakes?

Also, how often do you typically do water changes, and what percentage of the water do you change? Do ...

Hey everyone, I'm getting a bit worried about my betta Musa - he's just not himself lately. I'm no expert, so I thought I'd ask for some help identifying if there's something wrong with him.

His tank's a 5-gallon, pretty densely planted with some amano shrimp and assassin snails to keep him company ...
