So my Betta has developed a problem with tail biting, and I am trying desperately to correct it. I figured I would give a tank mate a shot because I heard those can help, but I never intended to have more than a Betta when I set up my tank. It is only 5 gallons and is consistently at 79-80...

Hi there, I'm very new to betta keeping, and I have some questions about my routine for my 5 gallon betta tank. If my water changes are sufficient and if my feeding schedule is good. Right now I feed my male betta, Kiro, 3 Betta Bio Gold pellets in the morning and 3 more at night. I swap...

Hello everyone, I'm totally new to fish keeping but I've caught the elusive "betta bug" since my Aunt got me very special present for Christmas all the way back in 2015 (not that far lol). She handed me a good size vase with a betta resting in the roots of a lucky bamboo plant sticking out the...

Hello, so I'm currently on vacation and have no access to my tanks. I want to set up my 5 g on my desk for a new betta. So far I'm going to order the 16" finnex stingray light. I was thinking of dosing Flourish Exel, but other than that I want it to be pretty easy. I was wondering if some of you...

Hi all, Well, my betta fish is sort of "illegal." The school I went to allowed fish, but I've transferred to a new school that doesn't allow pets. I am going to keep regardless but would like to know if someone has experience with frequently moving fish tanks. Jimmy in is a 2.6 gal planted...

Hey all! I'm thinking about getting another nano tank for another betta (they are so addicting lol) and for the set up I was thinking of having shale or stones as the focal point with java fern and a carpet. But I've read that carpets wont do so well in a small tank unless they are given CO2 and...

Hi all! I've had my Betta fish for about a month now. He's a cellophane butterfly veiltail and I house him in a headed 1 gallon bowl. He seems quite content with it and is crazy active! I just got some birthday money from relatives and I was thinking about getting a Fluval Spec III. I've always...

Currently I am cycling an Evolve4 I picked up on clearance, not really like it too much, but that's not the point of this thread... I am trying to revitalize some swords in there right now using the stock light and I haven't been able to determine yet if the light qualifies as a "medium light"...

Okay, so, y'all have given me so much inspiration in wanting to plant a tank properly (I've just got my goofy Lee's Critter Keeper) and since I would like to add in Roobios (from Adagio Teas, organic, and it's what I have on hand) tea, I worry about doing it with a plastic/acrylic tank. So...

I've been lurking on these forums for awhile and have decided to post! I've had Artemis for a month now and have had him in QT in order to heal his massive fin rot. He's recovering well and has a lot more color now. I've got his new home a Fluval Spec and was looking for advice on how to begin...

So I've been having some trouble with my doubletail's 2.5 gal. lately. It is planted with a small anubias and a small aponogeton, along with a Spathiphyllum tasson (Brazil Sword) and a Chlorophytum bichetii (Pongol sword) (both of which are not submerged aquatic plants, as I have just recently...

Hello everyone, so my tank finally finished cycling last week. Went and picked up my new and first betta. He's a male Crown Tail named "Tails" by my GF. He seems to be happy in is home, it's 2.5 gallon with some plants and rocks. Going to pick up a terracotta pot for him tonight. A filter and...
