Dec 30, 2015 · I'm upgrading my betta's tank from a 3-gallon Marineland Eclipse to a 5-gallon Fluval Spec. I was/am planning on transferring over the filter cartridge, biowheel, decor, and substrate to help get it cycled quickly, but I'm starting to think that I …

Jul 20, 2010 · My beautiful red-orange Betta has suddenly developed a white patch on its side...not cottony, but hard-looking, like the scale itself suddenly went dead white. Some scales around it are slowly becoming discolored, and the whole area (about 1/8 of an inch across) is slightly bulgy. This has been...

Dec 22, 2012 · I apologize for sounding upset, but I am, and I hope you understand why. In my 10gal heavily planted tank, I originally bought 4 mystery snails, all decent sized.

Apr 6, 2012 · My male betta (tiny) has been in a 15-gallon tank by himself for the past few months. Last night I decided to add 2 friends to the tank and brought home some cory catfish.

Aug 5, 2015 · Thanks, Lilypad. That really helps, and your right, it really describes it well. So far my betta seems to like the reverse osmosis water I put in with her.

Nov 3, 2022 · So much conflicting info on-line. 🙄 Lily seems ok so far but I’ve only been feeding it to him once a week or so. I cycle it with dalphina, brine shrimp, bloodworms and Betta Bite flakes for his evening meal. Does anyone else here feed their betta spirulina mysis shrimp?

Jan 4, 2020 · If your fish died within the return period, regardless of whether you plan to get a replacement from that same store, definitely bring in the body (if you have it) and receipt. The company uses information like how many returns of dead fish they get to consider whether to adjust their policies, maybe send someone to train the store workers, etc.

Jul 29, 2010 · Hi, I am new to fish care. I have had my betta for about 2.5 weeks. I recently moved him into a 2.5 gallon tank on Monday. Today I noticed that the tips of his ventral fins (I had to look what they are are called) have turned white. I did a search on this site, and I …
