Thanks! I wasn't sure and new to this hobby so, just wanted to ask here. Thanks for the reply..

Hi Everyone, Today i noticed i have this kinda white spot in my sand which looks to be glowing but, if you look closely it looks like white hair around it. I feed my betta pellets so, maybe its just an uneaten pellet which is starting to rotten? I also have nerite snails so, maybe it was an...

Hi, I know they add something to the water to achieve the higher pH but, not sure what is is. I was actually looking at longer tanks given the type of schooling fish i want.. Just trying to get recommendation on brands or if it makes a difference. This tank will be heavily planted as well...

The pH in my current tank is 7.8 - The pH out of my tap is 8.4.. Pretty sure they add something to the water to achieve that high pH.

Thanks for the reply. Below are the numbers i got from my local water provider. pH: 8.4 (i actually tested this) KH: 2 GH:2 ppm: 30mg/L of total hardness which is considered soft.

Hi Everyone, I currently, have a 15Gal Fluval Flex for my betta. Looking at getting another aquarium and looking at recommendations. Looking at setting up a community tank (neon tetras or neon green rasboras)and was thinking in the range or 32 Gallon Tank. I was looking at the Fluval Flex...

Point noted. I think i'm going to setup another planted tank just for my betta.. and then this current one can be for my rasboras which then i can increase the amount. Thanks everyone, this community is awesome..

Thanks everyone for your help. I'll keep it this way for now and not going to add anymore fish for the time being. Betta looks fine right now and is swimming normally.. I'll keep an eye on it. When i was doing my research a lot of people said tetras/rasbora's are good mates for Betta.. I...

Yes, its a 15 gallon tank. My betta is pretty chill. When i first added the rasboras to the tank my betta was chasing them around but, they are way to fast for him. Seem to do well so far.. I guess, time will tell. Can i add more rasboras to have a larger schooling or should i just leave as...

Hi All, I have a Fluval Flex 15 and just curious if my tank is overstocked or not. Currently, i have 1 halfmoon plankat betta, 10 Neon Green Rasboras and 3 small nerite snails. Not sure if i've overstocked too much or if this is ok. Would appreciate your opinions. Thanks for the help. b

I've had the issue with the bio film since day one. This is an ongoing issues. It didn't get worse when i added my pump. The water conditioner i use is Seachem Prime and fertilizer is Easy Green. think i'll try an reposition my outlets to agitate the water more. Thanks for the help and...

Thanks for the suggestion. Currently, i do have the water level lower so, the top vent is showing partially. The water level is about 1/2 above the lowest part of the top vent. So, part of the vent is under water and part of it is above. Should i lower it more?

Hi, I currently have a Fluval Flex 15 planted tank. I get a lot of surface scum on the top which i'm wondering if it's normal or if there is anything is can do to clear it up. I've been using paper towels to clean it up but, wondering if i should add more media like filter floss to hopefully...

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I'll start doing weekly water changes and feed the betta less. Will also look into some floating plants.

Thanks for the info. I'll start doing weekly water changes. How much water should i be changing every week? Around 20%? My tank isn't around any other light sources and i currently feed by betta once a day around 6 pellets (sometimes flakes).

Hi Everyone! New to these forums and planted aquariums. I currently, have a 15 gallon Fluval Flex. I've had the tank running for a few months now with a plakat halfmoon betta. I've noticed i am starting to get green algae on my rocks. Seems to be only on my rocks (a little brown algae on...
