Im sorry but I disagree, I spent $150 on a fluro light 2x 20w t8 tubes and its nowhere near as good as my Beamworks LED Fluros are rubbish compared to 6500k LED

I use those screens on my tanks and they work just fine. Yes a sponge is ok, yes it will restrict the flow a bit and yes it will clog up and need cleaning.. You can use a sponge like this...

This is all you need on the intake, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ITLJGE8/?tag=

Im afraid a 3.5 gallon tank is too small for anything but some shrimp or a Betta. What did your fish die from? What are your water parameters, Is the water hard or soft?

Can you please answer the following questions. How big is the tank? Has it got a heater? What is it set to? Has it got a filter? How strong is the current? Is it cycled? How often do you change water? How much water do you change? Do you vacuum the substrate? What additives or chemicals do you...

Upload the photos to imgur.com then paste the link here.

I actually like that tank, I would like it more it that was all real plants but its not bad and the light level seems perfect.

You should have a brine shrimp hatchery There are a few members here including myself who feed only live food and frozen to our fish and we will gladly help you.

I understand what you are trying to do, but what you should have done was find all this out before you bred the fish not after as I suggested in another post. Look I have nothing against you breeding fish as long as you do it properly and breed decent quality fish that you can sell, nobody is...

I love it.

Photos please.

Add some floating plants, Water sprite is the best it will cut down the light and suck up all the nutrients.

Yes he sounds perfectly normal to me and he seems to be training you well.

I knew this would happen, Its why I said you should do a lot of research before you let them breed. You can buy brine shrimp etc here. https://dir.indiamart.com/impcat/brine-shrimp-egg.html

When it comes to placing decorations in a Betta tank there is 1 rule, if it dont fit snug against the glass, then make sure your thumb can fit between the object and the glass, same thing applies to decorations with holes in them. Bettas are notorious for trying to squeeze into tight places...

I agree with Colin, There is no way I would add untreated tap water to my tank. I use drums to pre treat and pre heat the water, Even on my 400 liter tank and I change 300 liters of water a week in that.

This is why Bettas are best kept on their own.

Hi Here's the filter I have on a 5 g cube https://www.petbarn.com.au/aqua-one-clearview-hang-on-filter-100 The flow is totally adjustable

Glass water plus substrate = about 800kg for a 6 foot tank. Here's my version of a tank stand for a 6 foot tank. This image was taken after major flooding so don't mind the peeling paint.

A photo of the fish might help.

I wouldnt keep Gouramis and a Betta in the same tank, that will result in the death of the Betta.

Live extra small crickets Glass shrimp, Red Cherry Shrimp. ( I breed them) Baby Brine Shrimp ( I breed them) Mature gut loaded brine shrimp ( I breed them) Mozzie larvae. Live Bearer fry. ( I breed them) Earth worm. ( I breed them) Live Black Worm. Fruit fly when in season ( I breed them)...

If you are using fake plants cut down the light or add floating plants. If you find you plants are being pushed down by the HOB first turn it down a bit and add a straw dam, You can use clear straws.

Hi At best that rule applies to small linear fish like Tetras and Kuhli Loaches and forgets to take into account that fish grow, Most of the fish we buy from where ever are young fish and these fish will grow. As an example of fish growth. When I got my Bumblebee Gobys they were tiny, Now they...

I am not a fan of divided tanks and shared filtration, If one fish gets sick they both do then you need a hospital tank, Even with dividers the fish can sense each other. I find it much simpler to keep 1 betta in one tank. Now having said that, this is the best way to divide a tank. Image is...

Are you referring to the inch of fish per gallon rule? If so that rule is nonsense. This may or may not work, depends on the female some are just as aggressive as the males.

Well I do, you do not know what the fish eats how big it will grow or anything about it but you capture it and put it in a tank.

How big is the tank? BGK's grow big and need a BIG tank at least 6 to 8 foot long over 2 foot deep and over 2 foot wide.

anubias and crypts are great.

Are these fish wild caught? why are you catching wild fish without knowing what they are?

Hes very nice, but I think his tank needs more plants.

Are these wild caught fish?

Why are you catching wild fish and putting them in a tank when you have no idea what they are how big they will grow or what to feed them? Take the fish back to where you got then and release them now.

Mystery snails need to be kept in hard water or they will suffer from shell erosion You also need to feed them. Please read this. http://applesnail.net/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6645&start=45 Adding a small bit is the same as adding a big bit, it will dissolve at the same speed.

What water conditioner are you using? I also think you should do 75% water changes. I do not keep Puffers but I do keep Bumblebee Gobies and know how quickly uneaten frozen food can spoil the water. Also feeding just blood worm all the time is not good for the fish but we can talk about this...

OMG,

It could be algae closing up the hole, but there is no way that leaf is alive. I get my leaves in bunches of 50 and that lasts about 6 months, I also make my own blackwater I got sick of paying $70 for 2 liters, I would have happily taken the water you threw away after you boiled the leaves...

Once I put the leaf in I never take it out,
