Hi, first post here so sorry if this has been asked before or is in the wrong place. I've kept lots of betta tanks & currently have a 5.5 gallon one set up & was thinking of getting another betta but was thinking about doing something different & setting up a 'mini pond' tank. I was wondering...

Vern's been chugging around the bottom of the tank for the past couple days, but then yesterday I found him upside down on the bottom. I turned him over and he crawled off, seeming fine. then this morning he was on his shell again. I turned him over. He latched onto a marble and perched there...

Hello betta enthusiasts :-D I went kayaking today in a freshwater pond/lake and plucked a moss-like plant out of the water, thinking I might be able to get it clean enough to grow it in my tank, though when I got it in a cup of water a ton of different larvae were in the water and swam out of...

I guess most of us here own normal tanks, but does anyone actually have a pond where they've had bettas breed naturally? I've seen lots of people with koi ponds, which led me to wonder if anyone has a betta pond. My grandparents have a small artificial lake in their ranch, and when they filled...

Have you guys got any sugestions on a plant that is easy to care for and does not mind the high light levels of my tank? I leave the tank light on from 5am to 10pm, that is when i leave for school and return home at night. I haven't the slightest idea what type of light it is, it came with the...

Has anybody ever started a thread devoted to koi lovers? I think they deserve some appreciation, they're so beautiful and friendly :) Like puppies :) without the saliva and dandruff allergies :P
