Im sorry but just NO never transfer water from one tank to another especially if it has fish in it, that is the surest way of spreading god knows what from 1 tank to another.

Remember, Water changes, Water changes, Water changes, There is no such thing as too much clean water.

Members please note, If buying Endlers. To be considered N class they must be documented pure ( kinda like papers for a pedigree dog or cat ) if they are not then they are P or K class. With endlers it is best to have more males than females, The boys spend most of the time showing off to...

That bristle worm is cool, I would love a few in an aquarium.

I know that, now, My friend told me, but thank you for confirming it, I can finally get some sleep. Oh yes, LOL

I think the Americans, Wisconsin Particle Astrophysics or something like that.

Antarctica, cool. Photos please.

A friend of mine is in Antarctica ( South Pole station ) right now, spending 12 months there.

Actually with live bearers thats a good thing.

My shrimp would love to munch on all that gunk.

Im going with heater burn. Plus what Colin said

Oh but they can. Overeating/Overfeeding can cause all sorts of physical problems just like in humans, cats, dogs ETC. It is possible for some fish species to develop a fatty liver disease (hepatic lipidosis). Overfeeding can also stress fish PS As somebody once told me " A slightly hungry tank...

No it is not. In fact the opposite is true, most bottled water is not fish safe. Bottled water is often not regulated or tested other than for human consumption, so the water parameters are unknown. Also, bottled water often has vitamins, flavors, preservatives, colors, or other additives added...

Not all bottled water is fish safe, can you give us the brand name. Whats wrong with your tap water? Why do you think your filter is no good? Can you tell us the brand of filter type of media and the size of your tank? Once I know this I will have more advice. Filtration and flow rate are 2...

Thats way too warm about 26 deg c is perfect 75% a week should be minimum Can you post a photo of the fish.

Freeze dried food is rubbish and thats where it belongs. Mix the frozen food up a bit Try Ocean Nutrition Quintet. https://oceanreefsmarine.com.au/products/ocean-nutrition-frozen-tropical-quintet-100g

NO simply NO It just wont work simple as that,

If its high ammonia then a small water change is next to useless, try 75% water change. Watch this video it will explain why bigger water changes are better. Pretend the yellow stuff is ammonia.

High output means it grows algae well. Whats the Kelvin rating for that light?

I use Biohome ultimate and it has never affected my PH.

What are your water parameters? Is your water soft or hard? Soft water will damage the shell

I wouldn't add any rocks, 10 gallon is small and larger rocks just take up space that could be taken by water.

I think thats the question the OP needs an answer to.

People with canister filters also need to clean the hoses spray bar and pick up bar you would be amazed at the crud that can build up in there.

More detail please, How much water do you change how often? As a minimum you should be doing around 75% a week.

Why? How? API stress coat is rubbish and that's where it belongs, It wont do anything that regular large water changes will do. Adding an extra dose is really bad advice, you should NEVER exceed the recommended dose of any product.

Why were there uneaten pellets in the tank? Uneaten pellets should be removed as they will foul the water. Why wouldn't he ignore pea? Its not like there is any benefit in eating it.

Ash this is the same tank before it grew in. This is all Anubias. This was my Betta sorority

Barry Are you planing to get real plants? If no thats fine but I would suggest some silk plants and cutting the light by half. Heres some great silk plants. https://www.ebay.com.au/b/Silk-Plant-Aquarium-Decorations/66789/bn_60570500

Yes they sure do. Say hi to Grouch You should talk to @fluttermoth about his oscar. This is not my video

What test kit are you using? What water conditioner are you using?

The smell will tell you if they are dead.

Its dictated by the plants you have, Bettas naturally prefer lower light with tannins in the water. Now I know some will disagree but this is an ideal Betta tank in regards to how many plants you need and the lighting level. This is the actual light level in my tank A Betta is quite happy...

The PH is what it is, short of using RO ( Reverse osmosis ) or distilled water there is no way to drop it. Maybe but it all depends on the buffering capacity of the water. Your PH is what it is, your fish will be fine trying to lower the ph will just cause stress to the fish as the PH yo yo's...

Sure its ok to disagree but before you do make sure you know what you are talking about. https://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/member-submitted-articles/bacteria-freshwater-aquarium-74891/

Do not mess with the PH, its way to complicated and if anybody tries to tell you its not ignore them because they havent got a clue.

Actually no, To quote Byron Hoskins. The greatest population of bacteria in a healthy balanced aquarium occurs in the substrate, not the filter. The floc or humic compost that collects in the substrate is the host for the biofilms; this is why the substrate in planted tanks should never be...
