Help, I have one and a half year old fish that is like paralyzed. He never swims around his tank and just lays on his side on the top of the water floating like a dead fish would. I thought he was dead at first but when I feed him he sadly wiggles to the food but he eats fine. He lives in a...

Ok I promise this will be one of my last threads. I'm planning to set up my one gallon tank and buy my betta fish. Then use my API test kits to test the levels every day. I will keep the ammonia levels down with water changes. My questions are: 1. Should I buy Ammolock? I can easily buy it. 2...

I just bought a one gallon aquarium. It has a undergravel filter. I already have everything required to do a fishless cycle with ammonia. I have API test kits for ammonia, nitrates and nitrites. My water conditioner has aloe, and its not Prime. All I want to know is, do I need to cycle this...

I bought one of my bettas a heater. They'll eventually all get heaters but I wanted to try it out before buying 3. Its a heater that shuts off at a specific temperature, and has been doing so, but I have a thermometer for backup. I already had the fish in when I put it in. It's raised from 22 up...

About my (soon-to-be) tank: I plan to have a 10 gallon planted/silk plant mix tank. Full of hide away holes/caves and other places to hide covering from top to bottom, denser in the rear. Driftwood added. This tank will have a heater, bio sponge filter/aerater and a Aqueon 10g internal filter...

Hey everyone! :-) I was wondering if anybody had any experience with the Aqueon Mini Bow tanks- specifically the 2.5 or the 5 gallon. Right now my Sunny boy is in a two gallon, so I would rather not downgrade the little guy into a one gallon. Personally I like the look of the 5 gallon, but I...

Hello everyone, i got another ten gallon for a great deal today. It came with the tank, heater, filter, food and conditioner, light/hood and net on sale for 80 dollars. I have another tank(4 tanks all together) that is a 10 gallon divided so it has three sections with 2 bettas in 2 of them and...

I have a 2 gallon tank with a very small female Betta, and I was wondering what type of plants could I keep in it? Thank you! :yourock:

This is my first serious aquarium; all my previous bettas have been kept in little bowls and averaged 2 yr lifespans. I just recently got a beautiful blue and yellow doubletail and wanted a nice large tank, as well as trying out some aquatic plants. Right now my betta is in a small 1L plastic...

Hey! I'm setting up a Betta tank so I bought a 25 gallon tank for it's self to live happy with 2 Otis Algae Eaters. I have everything ready like plants, heater, water conditioner, etc., except for the Filter. The employees at the store are telling me I dont really need a filter for the Betta...

I'm Thinking about getting Sponge Filter for both of my 2.5 gallon tanks, can I get ya'll feed back about it and what should I look out for or need ?

Hi there! Well I joined today and I have many many many questions. My earlier thread was because I needed to get my adult veil tail tank cycled but I did itself pretty well! So I was at petco getting the ammonia and nitrate testing kit when I remembered I saw a big thread about Petco selling...

I initially got my male betta, Bob, as a birthday present and was ignorant about betta habitats at the time and he was in a pretty small cube. But today I bought him a 1 gallon tank, which I know is still small, but it IS better than what he was in. But I'm really lost with heaters and need...

Here are some pics of my re-designed 2.5 gallon: Heres A Video Of My Tank (Before Re-Design): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql23H_G-Xp8

My name is TikPandora, and I just joined the forum. I would like to introduce myself by asking a few questions. I just got back from Wal-Mart with a beautiful white male betta. Usually I would not have bought a fish at Wally World...but the one here in Chadron actually takes good care of...

So a few days ago I decided to add a divider to my 10 gal tank so my girls would stop pulling each others fins off!... I also ended up adding a new filter :) Now I'm just waiting to put them in the tank :D They are going to love it! Below are a few pictures. To build the divider I just used a...

Since my male betta, NeON, died, I hadn't put anything in the tnak that he had been in. I felt like it was the "tank of death" and it scared me. I finally gutted the courage to clean all the rocks really good, clean off the sides, wash the plants and all, then put my female in there instead of...

I'm getting one of my boys a 5 gallon tank soon and was wondering what all the fuss is about cycling? What is it, how to do it, and is it necessary for a 5 gallon tank?

Look at this site! This made me throw up http://www.zensuke.com/130383.html
