I've seen multiple videos of beta fish being rescued and restored from extremely bad health. They always give them antibiotics in the first stage of restoring their health. Bring them home, do twice daily water changes and provide antibiotics is what I've seen and they seem to fully recover and...

The seller said mature tubers are black and young ones are green. Which made sense, but got weird later, because the black tubers are turning green and the black seems to be dissolving away.... :/

The swords have seachem flourish tabs currently. The NICREW brand lights have white, white+blue, or RGB, (red, green, blue, no red and blue that I saw. They weren't very bright at all even at the same wattage as the B+W. Also the colours were separate only, no option for R+B in one and no...

Fair points. I am moving this female betta to the 60 litre tank once the goldfish are moved to a pond this year, then I will put a dwarf pea puff fish in here... I reckon that's a tiny enough fish to enjoy this 25 litre tank. I guess once the betta is moved, I can take plants out, empty water...

Thanks alot :) I hace hard water anyway so I will do as you say. :)

This light doesn't crank up. You're saying to go brighter than this though?

The other day, whilst water change and tank clean, I accidentally knocked a snail I didn't see off the top of the tank glass and I heard a noise which now I know must've been it landing on the driftwood shell side first and cracking it. I thought it at the time and panicked but when I saw the...

I have these water lettuce and duckweed in all my 4 tanks. Only this betta tank has developed this sort of brownish gooey looking film. Last Sunday when water changing I removed it all and put more ij from my main tank which are all healthy and free of any gunk or any issues. You can see the...

Hi Byron. I use a NICREW light for the 3 new aquariums. 4.5 watt blue & white LED light. I found this brighter than the rgb. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09KLJFPGR/?tag= My main tank was adopted and has a bright warm white light that is unknown. However the only plant that has ever survived in...

I was considering this. Will do when I have time & post better pics and video here. Was hoping it might be simple maybe lol good reminder to buy magnifying glass right now.... Thanks

I am. I use TNC lite. However it is well established from many posts of mine here that my water is an issue and I don't have an RO system and also everyone suggests finding a custom combo of ferts to help which requires figuring out what my water needs, and also trial and error or making my own...

Was gazing into my tank today as you do... Saw a couple of these! Pretty creepy crawly. Some kind of invertebrate but large, fast growing as they are larger than my cherry shrimp and have never seen em before. SORRY I don't have a professional camera but shall invest in one purely for these...

This anubias arrived with unexpectedly long roots, quite thick and instead of cutting them and gluing it to a rock, I just buried the lengthy parts and as you can see left crown and plenty of root above gravel, held down by stones. I did notice last week when some of the longer roots came out...

My female betta was in a community tank before with guppies and tetras. She seemed happy and active. I saw no issues except for feeding times when guppies and tetras are happy to swarm to food, and she would shy away and hated being crowded and fighting for food. I moved her to a 30 litre...

Why do these two look so different right now? Why's just this one amano yellowish with a very thick white line when usually he looks just like the others? Another photo of the others. Another of him.

Why does this endler follow the female guppy so persistently? These young endlers and female guppies are newly added to this tank. So far I'm trying to get them to understand where the food drops in as they don't race to the food whilst my regulars do and finish it all off. I end up having to...

I've only got a female betta and red/spotted snail in there. Thing is if I get an assassin snail, I need to get snails just to feed it no?

I bought a 75 mesh and a 200 mesh... I will try and see if they work. Bought them muuuuuch lower price in the "kitchen and cooking utensils" category of amazon than in the aquarium category... Smh. People charging 5x the price knowing it's a rare or niche hobby/tool. I usually use the light...

Hi all, Short story is; there is a video link with a close up if you skip a bit, can you identify these snails? These have showed up overnight and there are 7 today after removing two yesterday. They seem like they grow a half cm per day or something as I don't see them and all of an...

I actually found the two stage seive net online. It says 1 is 80 micron and the other 200 micron.. Its stupidly expensive so I'm taking the advice of buying separately from a food supplier, however to ensure I have the best micron mesh size, I'm trying to find info on the size of nauplii vs the...

How likely is it that it is a threat to be removed? I'm not a scientist so I cannot imagine what I'd do with a sample. Lol🧐

I have a flourish root tab near the roots before they floated up out of the gravel. Could it be from the tabs?

My temporary goldfish tank is the only tank where I've had this stuff and I'm curious what it is and whether I should clean it or just add a couple of snails in there/leave it as a food source? Looks more orange in person. Also looks worse on the white stone in person. Also is it related to...

Hi. During water change today I noticed some of the roots are out of water, ....and covered in white stuff. What the heck could these be? I appreciate all of your help and insights.
