    Hello, Unfortunately, I fell victim to pet stores relaying misinformation and not finding out till I had already purchased a betta and a mystery snail about cycling a tank. I have bought myself a test kit (API freshwater master kit), prime, a generic betta water cleanser (suggested by the pet...

    Hi there everyone!

    Hello all. This little fellow just arrived early this afternoon after 5 days in the mail. He is in a 6 gallon tank, with normal parameters (it hasn't quite been two weeks of running it yet so not fully cycled yet, but no ammonia or nitrite). Water was prepped with Prime, Stability and a bit of...

We are hoping to get some insight into our tank and also save the rest of our fish. we got our tank in January and had it fully cycled then we upgraded to a bigger tank at the beginning of the month and we used our cycled filter for the new tank.

    Next weekend I'll be picking up my new male halfmoon dumbo ear betta, which is a tail type I've never owned before. Do they require any special care? I have a 1.5 gallon betta tank, should I get something bigger? I should I get a mini heater and/or filter? Should I cycle the tank, if so, what...
  12. Betta Fish
    I have some conserns about my betta fish. It looks like his back fin is folded or rolled up? I don't know exactly how to explain it but he also doesn't flare his fins at all and almost looks like he struggles to keep his back body floating and it sinks. Then he just goes to the bottom to lay down.

    I have a 5 gal. tank with a male betta and 4 neon tetras. When feeding I give the betta his food first, 2-3 pellets, before putting in the tetra flakes. He finishes his pellets and ends up eating some of the tetra food that floats around that the tetras haven't yet gotten to. This means he keeps...

    Hi, I’ve had a betta fish for over almost two years now. He’s a male half moon and he lives with an aquatic mystery snail. He used to live in a 3.5 gallon tank but I moved him to a 6 gallon tank a few months ago. A couple weeks ago I noticed some white stuff on his back and I was very concerned...

    Hi! Uh, I don't really have much to say but the automatic message said I should introduce myself, so here I am I guess. I just recently got into the fish keeping hobby with a pretty basic little 10 gal, 1 betta (named Augi) and 4 sterbai cory cats. I kinda got into it when my mom got a betta--...
