Hello, I am researching to set up a 3 gallon tank for 1 male betta. As a kid I did own two bettas at separate times, but I did not know the proper living conditions for them at the time. Each lived for about a year. I'm looking now for a companion to help keep the tank clean and ghost shrimp...

I've recently purchased a new 3 gal tank and this is the first time my betta has been in one. I was wondering if there were any automatic heaters that changes the heating temperature depending on the room temperature. If you know anything about that, please let me know!

Hello friends! For a little background: I got the betta bug in 2011. I dwindled out of the "hobby" ( I consider it more of a lifestyle :lol: ) in 2013 when I got majorly stressed out with high school. Long story short, the stressor has dissipated, and now I'm back! I've had live plants in...

So I have a 3 gal marineland tank with a hidden filter in the back. I have 3 fake plants, gavel, a heater that keeps the tank around 79, and 1 male betta that's like 1.5 inches long (got him 3 weeks ago). I want to put a great pond snail in with him and I wonder if it will work and what I have...

Well fellow Betta lover's. I upgraded Cobalt's tank to this 3 gallon acrylic. I hate acrylic because it's incredibly easy to scratch, and very hard to take really good pic's. Anywho he looked pretty cramped in that one gallon bowl I had him in, and I didn't want him to have to stay in there...

I have a male delta fin betta and he's ready for a new tank. I currently have him in a 2.5 gallon glass jar with a spigot at the bottom I use to remove old water. He seemed stressed when I put him in a 10gallon with a filter, so I am trying to keep water currents to a minimum. I am looking at a...

We are new to the Betta keeping world and would LOVE some help on this one. We have our Bettas in .5 gallon bowls and would love to get them out of these icky containers ASAP. Unfortunatly it isn't in our budget to spend a great deal on new homes for all four of our new babies. I've been...

I've had some algae in my 3 gallon. I'm honestly getting a bit tired of scraping it off hairgrass leaves. :-P I've read that mystery snails will help clean algae, but I'm a bit worried that they would also munch on my dwarf hairgrass. I've also seen people recommend nerite snails, but I haven't...

I was given 3 gallon half moon tank by a friend, and I'm getting the AZOO Mignon Filter 60. It's also going to be planted I already have a light for it. The only problem that I have is I can't find a heater with good enough review to trust. I don't want to bake the fish or have the heater go out...

How often should I change the water in my 3 gallon tank with filter? I have one male blue Crowntail in there. Simple little question that I can't seem to find anywhere. Thanks in advance!

Are there any possible tank mates for a betta in a plantes 3 gallon? Shimp? Snails? If so how many and what type Tank - 3 Gallon Substrate - Gravel Plants - Ludwigia Natans + Unknown Fish - 1 Betta Heated - approx 74 Lighting - 16 LEDs Decoration - Driftwood Filtered - HOB w/ reduced intake...

So a few months ago, I posted on here about upgrading Royale's 1 gallon to a 2.5 gallon filtered and planted tank. Well as it turns out I decided to get a 3 gallon instead. So here's Roy's new tank. Tell me what yall think. Yall will have to click on the link cause Photobucket has changed...

Hi Everyone, For a while now, my 3 gallon betta tank has been without a filter and recently had an ammonia spike (1ppm). I went to petsmart to ask on how to lower down the ammonia level and the person there told me that I was keeping my tank too clean. He said if I buy a filter and put it...

Hi all, I have a question about why and how my zebra danios have been disappearing. I had 3 zebra danios and a betta in a 3 gallon tank and I felt that they needed more friends so I bought two more danios, then one by one they started disappearing over night. I have no trace of the bodies and...

Today, I transfered Caravaggio, my one betta, from a 1 gallon jar to a 3 gallon tank with all of the trimmings! I've been worried about him this past week! His fins were a little clamped a few days ago, but with the weather he's perked up again. I won't have to worry about the cold anymore...

Hello, everyone! Last week, I came home with a young betta (about 1.5 inches long from the tip of his nose to the edge of his tail) and have sen far been keeping him in a TEMPORARY 1 gallon jar, with routine water changes and well conditioned water. I'm about to upgrade to something bigger...

So I know there's lots of heater threads out there, and I've tried doing some research, but I'm still stumped on what to buy. I have a 5.5 tank, however it's currently holding around 3 gallons - tail biting stopped with a shallower tank. I may try to slowly raise the water level, but for now...

Hello! I got my betta about a month and a half ago, and didn't know anything about tank cycling at the time. He's living in a marineland eclipse-3 tank. I've been testing the water parameters, and there hadn't been any nitrite or nitrate. Yesterday I tested the water, and there was both nitrite...

Here is my recently purchased 3 gallon, half-moon aquarium kit: http://www.amazon.com/Tetra-Half-Moon-Bubbler-3-Gallon/dp/B00591C0F8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1317674620&sr=8-2 I've set it up, prepped the water, landscaped, stocked up on all of the "good betta owner" necessities that this...

Hello :-) I wanted to get a heater for my Betta but his tank is a 3 gallon one and the least wattage of heater I can get where I stay in is a 50 Watt fully submersible one. So my question is will the 50 W heater be okay for a small 3 gallon tank? I would like the water temperature to stay...
