Thanks so much

Hey guys, in October I am going to be moving house and will be taking my fish with me. The only tank I need to transport is my 25 gallon with corys a Bristlenose pleco and 6 danios. I’m wondering what’s the best way to transport them? I was considering buying a 15L plastic tank for...

Perfect just first betta wanted to check. I have the flow at a very low rate because when it was slightly higher he was struggling to cope where as now he can leisurely stroll. The level of surface ripplage is much lower, is this still good

Hey guys, every 5 mins or so inll see my little betta go to the surface to take a small breath of air. I know they do this obviously with their labyrinth organ and so was wondering if this is normal or not, or if it’s something to be concerned at?

It does seem very gentle now and is cornered away from the betta. He’s getting used to it as well so knows it’s a harder swim other there. He’s now chilling on the plants wnendriftwood in the other side! He’s got so much space he seems very happy

Yeah it can go either way just gotta keep an eye on it

I I know he is living in luxury, getting a wide variety of amazon swords for him to rest on as well. Perfect I think I will do that. He’s already getting used to the tank and is so far leaving the shrimp alone ( he’s going up to see them but not bumping or biting them.) he’s a beautiful thing...

Hey guys this is my new betta Sirius in his heated 25G. I have a flu all hang on back and jab epositioned it going into the side to reduce flow as I know bettas aren’t great swimmers. I’ve also now moved my heater to refract some of the wave energy. I’m wondering if by reducing this flow...

I feel like a 25G by itself should hopefully be a better life than a small cube. I’m considering an all red half moon or a crowntail

Perfect! I will keep it by itself, any recommendation on best betta to keep? My tank is fully cycled and I think it ll rly like it perfect temp etc etc, willing to spend whatever formperfect betta if you have a good one in mind

I would never add them to the community tank! But no I was simply asking I won’t do it!

Hey guys, I am planning this week on moving a crowntail betta into my planted 25G L until around November. In November it will move into its own 15G and any hypothetical tankmates will be joined by the fish in my other community tank. I am wondering if it’s beneficial to add tankmates to a betta...

I ll keep you updated!

Hi guys, I’m wanting to increase biding spaces for my cherry shrimp as their 25 gallon gets a new tank mate in the form of a betta. I currently have java moss and some Smaller leaf plants in the tank as well as using some fake plants in a corner (scandalous i know.) I have a pleco breeding tank...

Toppping is very common with stingrays as well if I’m not mistaken, must be the shape!

What fish do work with loaches, purely out of curiosity

I really want a crow tail betta so I think I may stick with that. Luckily the shrimp are in before the betta, guess reduces the image of it being dropped in as food. The sheimp are also only going to be in the tank for around 3 months before being placed in a Pygmy Cory tank :).

I believe a 60L in the Uk is around a 16 gallon, 16.5. Again even in UK The gallon system is so outdated :/. Different areas have slightly different conversions. As fish keeping in uk is nowhere near as big as in America it’s often said a 20 gallon is a 70,72 litre tank

Any changes in behaviour, swimming issues?

Yeah that makes sense, I’ve got a community tank in a different 20G so if I see any signs of aggression I will simply move them. Did you enjoy the shrimp with the bettas whrn it worked?

I apologise if it seemed I was recommending, it was more a general comment for size of the original tank, I wasn’t suggesting they purchase it without knowing the tanks requirements.

I’ve never owned tetras so I can’t comment! In a 15L I feel like corys are always the way forward

Hey guys, I’ve got currently a 25G tank with very big cherry shrimp and lots of cover, java moss breeding tunnels, moss balls, java fern driftwood etc etc etc. My local fishkeeper keeps all his bettas in a 5G with cherry shrimp to control fry numbers which is something I am wanting to do myself...

I’d say the main problem with that tank, especially if it’s a 15H is the cherry barbs, especially having 5. They are very active and will really benefit from the larger tank

This spike makes no sense!

In my tank of 6 cories 8 Pygmy cories and 6 danio I will feed once a day around 5 tropical flakes and 3/4 of an algae water, is this too much?

Should I hold off on feeding today and tommorow until this is sorted or will this harm the fish

It’s still perfecr thanks I will try that now

I’ve got a ciano 80 filter with a spray bar attached. The spray bar is still releasing water at a normal rate and quantity so I presume it is workint?

I think I might buy it yes, these test strips seem awful. The only thing that concerns me would be a broken filter, but I’m wondering what the signs of that would be. My nitrites and nitrates are still trace so woukd thwt still occur if I had a broken filter? I’ve only had the filter for 3...

Yeah I think it might be

I’ve done another test and now the colour is different, this is so confusing and rubbish

N not really at all, my corys gills look completely normal, my danio are swimming usually and are active and my pleco seems happy and moving, no gasping for air at surface nothing. The actual scale is also terrible , I can barely tell what it is

I I jus re took a test and it still said 7! My water has a slight green tinge to it, but I assume that’s from algae. My filter spray bar is still workint as normal so I’m so confused as to what’s happened

Hey guys, I recently bought new ammonia strips from terra, however usually I use the API ones. Consistently there has been no large ammonia readings when I used the other test stripes with readings consistently of 0. Today when the new test strips arrived after nkt testing for a week it’s said...

My Aeneus are the 4 alphas of my 20 gallon and are always with each other. They always sleep next to each other in a tight area it’s rly cute-I never knew how fish would sleep until I got into the hobby
