new 10 gallon tank

Hello, I recently impulse bought a 10 gallon fishtank (no fish yet) and was wondering what and how many fish I could put in there with a male betta being the "centerpiece". Does it matter what kind or variety of betta I should get? Do they have different characteristics besides color? What fish...

Hello! Name's Amy. I'm a beginner and I just brought home my first betta fish yesterday only to find him pacing the glass of his tank for hours today. I cycled my tank for weeks beforehand and tested the water regularly so I don't know what could be causing his stress! I have a bunch of plants...

Here's the little guy in his new 10 gallon planted tank! Looking for help giving him a name! It's a pretty simple hardscape and planting, as I've never done one before. He is very active and swimming all over the tank. I'm waiting on my intake sponge and extra filter sponges to help slow the...

Hi, I rescued a betta fish from a local store. He was the only one active in his small cup and kept coming to greet me. Smaller than the rest of the bettas. Anyway, here I am with a fish in a cup. I used to have freshwater, then saltwater, but haven't done it in years. I got this fish a 10...

Hey All, I am not super new to keeping Bettas, but it has been around 8 years. A friend of mine wanted to get rid of his 20 gal tank (it has an ADF) and gave it to me so I could get back into keeping fish. I haven't picked up a new betta yet, but I am super excited. My last betta I had went on...

Hi everyone, my betta has been living fine past 10 months in a 2.5g tank(filtered, heated), due to limited space I didn't much options, now I have more space available for an upgrade that is much better for him. I've was doing a fish-less 10g cycling for a month. (used tssp, sp, old media, doing...

idk. IM VERY CONFUSED! :( Okay so I want a betta fish. I bought a starter kit from Petsmart with filter, heater, thermometer, and the 10 gallon tank. I have done a lot of reading in the past 48 hours about fishless cycling. So I understand about the nitrogen cycle and "new tank syndrome". Just...

I'm pretty new to aquariums so I wanted to make sure this was a good tank setup, I feel like the pH, KH and GH in particular are off. Tank Size: 10 Gal Fish: 1 Male Half-Moon Betta Plants: Java Fern, Amazon Sword and Anacharis (the Anacharis was a bit ratty when I bought it but there are some...

Hi! So, I am a very new betta owner. He is/was my first one (I think he's dead, shut off his filter and light in case they were stressing him and will give about two hours for him to hopefully perk up), and right now he's laying on the bottom of the tank with no visible gill movement and no...

So I finally decided to move my Betta, Sigmund, to a 10g tank. He has been in a 2.5g tank for a while. My little sister got a Betta and was keeping it in a 1.5g tank, so I decided to give her the 2.5g, and upgrade Sigmund. I am looking for some more decor. I really like stuff that looks like a...
