hello there!.. I currently have a 10 gallon aquarium with 2 betta fish and a nerite snail. I am looking for ways to improve my fish tank. I want to try and make it a really good tank overall, what are some things I can fix or improve? Here is some info on my tank 1. Water parameters. (Nitrite...

Actually I don’t know what I should do right now… I want to set up a hospital tank but at the same time I also want to make my main tank better and live plants and maybe floaters or things like that.. I don’t know.. if I make my tank better my fish will have a less chance of disease or things...

Ok 👌 So I won’t need to use the water from my tank then, but will it matter if the hospital tank is cycled or not? Cause I hear people say that once there fish is fully healed they clean out the whole hospital tank.

Do I also use the same water from my tank?

Ok ok actually. Let’s say I had a random emergency and I had to make a hospital tank, what would all the stuff I need? And how would I set it up? I know I can easily get a tank, they sell Cheap sterilite storage containers for like 5 bucks at Walmart.

It’s a one and a half gallon, I put a half gallon by accident , is there any specific type of sponge filter that would be good?

So I got a little 1 1/2 gallon tank here that isn’t being used for anything. I think it could be a good hospital tank. I’m not a pro so I want to start off with a small hospital tank just so it won’t be a huge struggle since this is my first one. I want to know how to make a hospital tank. I...

Forgot to mention something…. I got another betta today… a male koi betta.. I didn’t get it just someone because though. Someone in my family offered it to me cause they no longer wanted it, they had only had it for a couple weeks, and it was only in a 1 1-2 gallon. So of course I took it. But...

What should I buy for my pH?

The only concern I have right now it just my pH, everything else look fine”to me”, this is the test

Yeah I did a water change yesterday. My test no longer shows nitrites

Ok that makes sense.. and random question do you know what type of problems can occur if your pH is too high or to low.

What are the other downside besides having to put things like pH up every time I do a water change.

My pH is acidic after I just tested water.

I put my specific zip code and it’s showing that the hardness is 81 ppm. But my water is a lot harder than what it says.. what could that mean?

It says the hardness of the water where I live is 81-75 ppm

My water has always been super hard, bassicaly on every test it’s a light brown color which is super hard water. I think that’s smart to buy fish that match my water conditions, but honestly I really like bettas and have always liked them so I want to try and take care of mine, that’s why I want...

I know, it’s just sometimes when I take photos of it the top looks weird and blurry. But I guess it doesn’t really matter that much.

Yea definitely. Unfortunately the guppy just past away, he was starting to stay at the bottom of the tank and barley breathing. And I know you said about water softener, do you know how to make water softer?? Cause I don’t know how to

Anyone know how to fix this?? The top of the glass fogs up and I don’t know how to get it to stop fogging up

Oh no. I’m looking at my guppy and my betta is being super aggressive to him. Trying to bite him. I think I should get her out. Edit: it was getting so bad to the point were I had to put here in this cup, I won’t keep here in there, but right know she was just being waaay to agressive.

10 gallon tank. I would say the cycle process is almost over considering my nitrites have stayed the same for about 1 and a half weeks. My test kit is tetra, I use it cause I’ve seems popular fish YouTubers use them. My test results are Nitrates 10 Nitrite 0.2 Total hardness 300 Chlorine 0 KH...

Okay, so I just got home. And I looked at my fish tank as usual, everything looked good until I saw my guppy.. his fin is torn up and his breathing pattern is very weird. I also noticed my baby betta was pecking at his body. Usually he would just run off if my betta ever tried to bite him but...

You should get nitrite and ammonia testers aswell. I have the same type of problem with my fish kept dying. 1 it was cause when I got them they were already unhealthy and, 2 sometimes it was cause of nitrites or ammonia. That’s just what I think though.

Didn’t know melafix could actually be not the best medicine . The instructions will say different things sometimes like to use if for bacterial infections or wounds so it’s kinda confusing. I knew methylene blue was one of the good products cause I would always hear fish keepers using it if...

Actually put some more of it in every 2-3 days cause it’s very strong. And if you overdose it to often it can cause problems.
