Who Gives A Fish Forums

Mine always melt a bit, but they bounce back. I don't even bother with root tabs, just let 'em do their thing. Maybe I'm lazy, but it works for me.

I've had luck just cutting the runners and replanting the new shoots. They take a bit to settle but eventually grow. My tank's a mess though, so maybe don't listen to me.

Anyone else notice Prime smells like rotten eggs? I swear, every time I open the bottle, my whole room stinks. Still worth it though.

Vacuuming? Not a priority for me, to be honest. I've got Malayskento4 Trumpet snails, they're great at cleaning up the bits I miss. Just do the areas you can reach, don't stress about the rest. Those snails are also a great source of free live food for your girls. And keep an eye on the white one ...

Yeah, that's a fertilizer, Seachem Flourish. If your tank's cycled, I think you're good to add the girls.

You've got a handful of feisty females in a small space, so a bit of chaos is to be expected, but that's just the way it goes with a betta sorority.

When you order those 5 bettas from the same breeder, try to mix it up a bit with different tail types and colors.

So you've decided on a sorority, that's great.

First off, I think you need a few more plants to fill out your tank. I'd recommend adding some Swords, Anubias, and Crypts - these are all pretty easy on the wallet and do well in low-light conditions, which I know bettas prefer. Blue Stricta is ...

My tank's a mess, but Duckweed covers everything. It's like the herpes of aquarium plants. You'll never get rid of it once it's in there.
