    My dearest husband bought a tank for my son's new betta. Against my advice, he got one with a built in filter with large slats in the back of the tank and it apparently has a pretty strong current. I went to check on the betta, since it came in the mail and was stuck with USPS for SEVEN DAYS...

    I have had my 10 gallon aquarium set up for quite some time now, and I’m starting to think there isn’t enough oxygen in my aquarium. I have noticed my betta fish has been coughing, which I know is a sign that a betta isn’t getting enough oxygen. He has also been gasping for air at the type of...

    Hello! I have heard that a baffle should be added to the filter output to calm the outflow for betta fish. I took a prefilter, cut it in half, and placed it over the spout of my hang-on-back. This greatly reduced the flow. However, I was worried about not having enough air in the water. There...

    I'm planning on changing the substrate in my 10 gal tank from gravel to sand. In order to do this I'm planning on taking everything out of the tank including the filter. Should I run the filter in a bucket of tank water while I change the substrate or will it be fine turned off for a while?

    Hi gang! Just a small problem with Fer's new tank. It seems that his tank's cover just has a small very small hole to put the food inside. I found a method I could do, I disconect the filter, lift the cover and put his food inside. When he is done eating, I put his cover back in place and turn...

    I found a 5.5 gallon in my garage, and I want to move my Betta into it, since he's in a cramped 2.5 gallon tank without a filter, and I think he's fin biting (Woke up today with a massive cut in one of his fins! I really hope it's just fin biting) I'm trying to decide on a heater and filter...

    Figured I’d take a break from asking about my poor boy and his lump to ask another question😅 So it’s been a while since I changed his filter cartridge, at least over 8 months, and it’s looking pretty nasty and the indicator for changing it is fully red now. I swish it out in tank water but it’s...

    Hello everyone! I had a fairly simple sponge filter for my betta's 5 galoon tank. For some reason it just stopped working. Im now looking to get something good for him that will keep the aquarium clean yet be safe for him. Any suggestions? (Was looking into the Aqua Clear 20) Thanks, Ido :)

    Hey yall. I am hoping to switch my aqueon quiteflow 10 out with a sponge filter. couple things: Should I leave my hang on filter flowing AND turn the sponge filter on until the bacteria is lingering in the sponge filter? if so, how will I know when it is ok to take away the hang on filter...

    Hi there! My filter that I've been using for years (currently for my split 10 gal tank) just broke, so I had to get a new one. I ordered it from Amazon because I wanted one with an adjustable flow, but after 2 days of waiting, my tank went and just fogged up completely, got all kinds of nasty...

    Hello and happy September, My betta Sidd’s tank is finally cycled, ive been using a filter cartridge. But I recently I decided that a sponge filter would be a better choice for his 5 gallon as it takes up less space and because I am sick of spending money on cartridges all the time...

    give me your best affordable and !QUIET! betta filter. i used to have just hang on the back fluval filters but those can be a little noisy and would probably be a little too powerful for my bettas. looking for something i won’t hear and won’t bother my bettas! i have a 10 gallon divided tank if...

    I'm really intrigued. Minimalist, filtered, stylish... But I haven't seen any reviews on them or this new bettaflo filter. Anyone have it or know about it?

    So right now I only have shrimp (want to add a betta at some point) in my 5 gal tank set up with a hang on filter. I want to switch the filter to a canister filter but I want to know if the shrimp will be alright with the filter change and the new filter media. Just want to keep them safe and...

    Help!! Posting again😂 so I just changed my boy’s water and for some odd reason, even though the filter is on the lowest setting, it’s pushing harder than usual and it’s shoving his floating log and his pellets around like crazy. It’s never done that before! It’s just a Top Fin hang on back...

    I currently have a 2.5 gallon TopFin Bettaflo Relax tank for my betta. The tank came with a submersible pump (pictures are attached) and it has started humming/vibrating. I'm looking to replace it with something similar but quieter. Any recommendations?? Info on the pump: TopFin SP-55...

    I'm not even sure if anyone will be able to answer this in time but I haven't been able to find a good answer anywhere else so I thought I'd give this a shot. I've got a new tank coming in the mail tomorrow and then a filter coming the next day. By tomorrow I'll have everything I need to set up...

    I have a 10 gallon aquarium with a male betta and one nerite snail. I am in need of a good filter, but the really good filter that was recommended to me several years ago on this forum is not working for my current betta. I think it is a little too strong, because when I added it to the tank...

    I absolutely adore bettas! I have had three total in the last several years, but have ultimately lost them all to diseases. Well, my girlfriend just got me a new betta a few weeks ago since we were moving in together, and I love him to death! However, he seems a little dumb compared to my last...

    I thought the larger aquarium on order was going to arrive tomorrow so I was less concerned at his previous failed attempts to jump BUT, I found out it's not arriving for over a week and tonight I see I have a big jumper. At first it seemed like the filter running was giving him a slipstream...
