Is there a certain ph it needs?

I’m wanting to do a carpet with dwarf hair grass in my ten gallon. I got some fluval fluorite substrate and I have the Aqueon Clip on light for planted aquarium (800K). Do I NEED to add CO2 to get a carpet? And if so, does anyone know of any kits that are available in the US or on amazon? I know...

Yeah that’s why I said I’m not able to do one right now or maybe ever because I don’t have time to research. I’ve heard a lot goes into it. I was just wondering if there was a bottom feeder or something that could go with her because I’ve heard some are peaceful. But I’ll leave her alone for a...

Thank you, it’s sad. And okay, I will leave her be for a little while

Yesterday I learned a very important lesson. I woke up to find my precious Moon baby dead and caught in the filter. I still choke up when I think about it. He was my second betta who had to go through a lot because his mama was learning but he was such a sweet pea. I had him for three months...

Jupiter got a huge upgrade from a 3.5 to a 20 gallon as a center piece in the living room. We’ve got some creeping Charlie and some Ludwigia repens I think lol. A sponge filter on the left and a box filter on the right (not in the picture) with phosguard in a media bag because I have discovered...

I need to remove phosphate and silica from my tank because it’s causing diatoms one ALL 6 OF MY TANKS and it is so ugly my snails are working over time. So I heard phosguard was what people in my area use but I have a sponge filter and I’m wondering how to make that work singe the sponge filter...

I’m hoping it’s because he’s really happy but Saturn made two giant bubble nests in a matter of a few hours!

Perfec perfect because I just added two snails lol

Me too! It acts like a palm tree and my bettas love to lay on it

Perfect, thank you

It’s water wisteria!

Is this just a white algae or something? The tank has been up for two days, but the filter was cycled already and I added some safe start to help it a little. Ammonia and nitrite 0, nitrate ~5

We’ve even got a bubble nest in the works!

I’ve heard people using cuttlebone for snails. Do I just drop it in the tank? My nerite snails have chips on their shells and I’m wondering if it’s from lack of calcium. I don’t have a calcium test kit though. My water ph is 8.0, will the cuttle bone mess with that or anything?

I ended up just ordering more of the Aqueon screw on light! Thanks y’all!

Update, I can see fin regrowth in the spots that were injured and he swims around like a happy little man!

I’m trying to upgrade one of my tanks and tomorrow is the only day I have to do it. I need a new light that’s strong enough for plant growth. I really like to Aqueon freshwater screw on light but it’s out of stock in my area. It’s a ten gallon tank. My options are Petco, Petsmart, and pet...

Hello from college station!

Thank you everyone. I’ll start salt and keep y’all posted :)

No, nothing sharp. I did notice some very small black patches when I first got him that seem to have faded. I’m not sure if that is indicative of anything. I’ve tried getting pics of it but they’re always too dark bc he’s such a dark blue. It seems like that top fin looks a little more rugged...

Yes!

They seem quite jagged and I’d say more like tearing than loss of fin.

Thanks! I have a hospital tank with hospital decor and a hospital fake plant :lol: I’ll probably grab some tomorrow and get him started. Thanks!

Wow, that sounds like a lot of work. You sure do love the little guy. I hope someone can help us out.

Hi! It’s just him right now. It’s a 20 gallon divided tank so another betta will be added on the far end and snails in the middle but right now it’s just him.

My halfmoon I brought home last week has been showing some holes and tears on his fins. There’s one new big hole on the top fin. The tank was cycled before I put him in. Ammonia and nitrite have stayed at 0 after testing every day and nitrate has never gone above 10. None of the decor is sharp...

Thanks y’all, some bomb advice

It hasn’t happened yet, but it is one of those things I worry about considering I have 6 tanks. Two are sponge filters that need air pumps and the others are HOB and almost all have heaters (soon all will have heaters). So what should I buy in case the power goes out? Do they have like battery...
