    HI folks, I have another newbie question. I recently picked up a few small natural plants for Pearl and am curious about something. I read everywhere how Java Ferns and Anubias can be attached to rocks, etc. Their roots shouldn't be buried. Thing is, I keep seeing photos of plants apparently...

    Hello! For those of you who don't know, I recently re-decorated my 5.5 gallon tank and it went extremely well! I took everything out and added new substrate and new decorations. I'm contemplating replacing the new substrate with a darker color of substrate, however, as it is a bit bright...

  4. Planted Betta Tanks
    I recently had to move my betta into this new tank that hadn’t finished cycling ( issues with the previous tank leaking ). Only since I’ve moved him in has there been a massive growth of algae! I don’t know if I should just leave it until the tank is adequately cycled or if there is anything...

    I searched for a post that would cover my issue, couldn’t find it but I might not be looking in the right spot. We originally had these plants in a smaller tank, but they were only there 2 weeks or so. They’re in fluval biostratum and sand…also been giving them nutrients. We only have the one...

    Hello out there, I have a pretty heavily planted 5 gallon beta tank, and over the last few weeks I have started to notice a bunch of tiny tiny snails?

    I had a betta that passed away a few weeks ago (fairwell, dear Lenny), and my wife and I are ready to get a new betta. We hadn’t changed the set up of the tank, but we were wondering if we needed to replace the substrate and plants for risk of the bacteria still in the tank. I’m not sure if the...
