You have a 20 gallon long tank? Kenyi Cichlid Grows to 12 centimeters. Common pleco Grows to 24 inches long Both the above fish are too big for your tank and need to be removed.

Fish, salt and vinegar now all I need are some chips ( fries ) and I have dinner.

I have a Betta that tries to destroy glass thermometers, with a digital thermometer like this you only stick the probe in...

We do not fry fish here, we try to save them.

Yes and no, As somebody mentioned using human baby vitamins to treat a fish I responded with an opinion on why the person was wrong, This is exactly how forums like this are meant to work, think of it as real time peer review, the Admin and staff here are great and encourage " healthy " debate...

Or you can test it against a thermometer used on humans. I have found digital ones to be best.

Can you show me scientific research that states vitamins made for human babies helps beneficial bacteria in an aquarium? You know this for a fact because you sent your water to a lab to be tested? A drop of human vitamins could be thousands of times stronger than what a fish gets from a pellet

A vet who specializes in Labyrinth breathers, I am impressed.

You can also use Kosher salt.

There is more than a good chance very young Betta fry will refuse crushed up fish food

Ok let me ask you a few questions and you will see why I think its a bad idea. You add a few drops of vitamins to the water. How many drops per gallon do you need for it to be effective yet not harm the fish? Overdosing could be deadly, Under-dosing means it have no effect. What vitamins do you...

You can try the frozen BBS if the fry are old enough. You can order brine shrimp eggs online.

Why is this question being asked? You should know the answer to this after all you breed the fish. By now he should be in his own tank so fixing it is not a problem just feed him less.

Your vet gave you crap advice on the vitamins, the water changes and salt helped.

Good to hear, See in most cases like this all you need is lots of clean water and the fish heals, no need for expensive potions. Are you training him to be hand fed. Did you know that people living in the area where they were first harvested believe them to be the reincarnated souls of their...

That's him chomping on the pellet. Fun fact Bettas have teeth and chew their food. Try pre soaking the pellet in a spoon of tank water for a minute or so till it just softens then give it to the fish.

Nice work those fish look great

Well of course they do because of the kickbacks, The USA is the only developed country that allows the big pharmaceutical companies to charge diabetics $250 odd for a 5 milliliter vial of insulin, I pay $6 for the same thing in Australia. A varied diet generally provides enough of each...

If you have both male and female in the same tank/pond and they breed its no accident. Big fish eat small fish just like nature intended.

Yes they do, and science has proven that in most cases all that happens is they end up with expensive urine. The only way to tell if person is vitamin deficient is by doing blood tests then taking the vitamin you need at the correct dose, Just going to the pharmacy and buying an over the...

Since we are talking about Bettas, This is the ingredient list for Northfin Betta bits Kelp, Whole Antarctic Krill Meal, High Omega-3 (DHA) Herring Meal, Whole Sardine Meal, Wheat Flour, Spirulina, Garlic, Astaxanthin (Haematococcus Algae), Calcium Montmorillonite Clay, Vitamin A Acetate...

The frozen food industry ( for people and animals ) strongly disagrees with you. Freezing does destroy a negligible amount of vitamins,

If the food is not rehydrated and the fish eats it the stuff will swell up in the fishes belly. I also pre soak pellets for the same reason.

Just make sure you pre soak the food in a spoon full of tank water for about 15 minutes before feeding.

The tank is too small for a gold fish.

Indeed when breeding you should aim at improving the line by breeding strong healthy fish not creating something simply because you can Here's an example of a fish that should never have been created and in my opinion shouldnt be bred...

How and where are you going to house the fry in about 8 weeks especially the males? For the first three days after becoming free-swimming the fry will need very miniscule foods. Infusoria and tiny free-living nematodes like Vinegar Eels, Microworms, Banana Worms, and Walter Worms make great...

Sibling pairs are often used to " breed in " traits and to be honest I'm not a fan of breeding sibling pairs.

Let me clarify. If its a cheap unknown brand then no do not buy one. Even some of the " name brands " can be rubbish. Heaters are important buy the best you can afford. Im talking about stuff like this.

Cheap heaters are just that cheap and nasty I wouldnt trust one in my tank

Melafix can be dangerous to Bettas do not use it. How strong is the current? instead of removing the betta why not reduce the current? This stuff is garbage and thats where it belongs. How much Prine are you using? 2 drops of Prime per gallon of water deals with ammonia up to 1. Please...

So will crypts,

Plastic plants have no place in a Betta tank, If you must use fake plants then silk is the best option. Try this https://www.ebay.com.au/b/Silk-Plant-Aquarium-Decorations/66789/bn_60570500 Please define " Standard lighting" Standard lighting is sufficient for Java fern, Java moss Blue...

Colin I get my Bettas here, https://www.ibcbettas.org/about-betta-splendens/galleries/ PS Please don't get me wrong I am not against people breeding Betta's in fact quite the opposite I'm all for it. All I want is for people to do it right have all the equipment food and mason jars before...

A breeder,

Buy yourself a cheap pepper or salt grinder Like this

You can feed a fiddler crab a variety of commercial foods, including algae wagers, sinking pellets, specialized crab food, bloodworms, shrimp and krill. You can offer blanched zucchini, blanched peas and raw or boiled fish. The fiddler crabs sold in pet stores generally come from brackish...

Why not crush a pellet or 2

@Byron Like I said while its not an absolute. In their native Venezuelan coastal lagoons, Endlers are often exposed to salt water from the nearby sea, so evolved to tolerate and even thrive in salt water environments. In fact, there have been reports they can withstand salinity levels up to...
