Sorry, a bit confused…who did you email..? NACD, or someone else..?

I hope someone with more experience than I have comes along to help…I’m wondering if putting to old cartridge near the new filter intake will work.. ? Loads of fast growing and floating plants to absorb as much ammonia as possible, daily testing and water changes..? Not ideal, but possibly best...

Not anywhere near 31 gallons yet 😢 but I’ll think about the December competition 🙂

Have you still got the filter and other contents of the broken tank..? If so move it all across to the new tank, but check the water quality daily for a week or so to make sure there are no ammonia spikes. That’s my plan for changing tanks this weekend.

The tank arrived from NACD Aquariums yesterday 😀. Even empty it is beautiful. The clear silicone, really makes a difference… Horrible, stormy weekend out, so a staying in and playing with water weekend I think 😂

Thank you 🙂

Or grandchildren 😂😂😂

BUMP: I‘m going to move Blue at the weekend and though that if his existing substrate and filter was moved to the new tank along with the plants, then the tank wouldn’t need to be ‘cycled’ as the filter is already cycled… Have I got that right, or not..? 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤔

Did they send anyone out to check who was up and down the passage way..?

This will be a big improvement on the current situation as I mentioned 🙂

That’s only 13 ltrs, half of what I’ve got Blue in. It’s probably bigger than the bowl you are using at the moment though? You come across as being a very careful owner, so I expect you’ll be improving the Bettas situation.

The OP hasn’t been online since 1st August 🙂

I think the turkeys will be great, rather than having a great Thanksgiving 😂

Thank you 🙂

Not something we celebrate ’over here’ but a lovely sentiment for a celebration… So, Happy Thanksgiving to all of you a cross the water, and everyone else too!! 🍻☕️🍰🎉🎊🎈 I‘m going to start by saying I’m giving thanks …. that all of those close to me have not suffered any ill health throughout...

The tank looks lovely, but what’s in the glass jar..?

I’ve done that, but then I’m left with a chain store… who tell me that the cories are in local hard water and are perfectly fine…and you come on here and (just about) everyone says, oh no! Don’t do that… It‘s a minefield of trying to decipher what is right, the members on here don’t have...

Why do Americans do EVERYTHING bigger and better than here…🤷‍♀️ 😂😂 At what uk time will Thanksgiving start for you..?

They do, but we hear so frequently about wrong advice, even from independent store owners (who didn’t mention cycling to me but were happy to sell me two Betta at £25 a go that just kept dying). You wouldn’t say the same of a doctor - you’d expect them to have a good enough grasp of the basics...

Yes, but you both know what you’re talking about now you’ve ‘growed up’ 😂

Can I ask a question about Thanksgiving..? I think that you have what we would call ‘Christmas Dinner’, roast turkey etc. for you Thanksgiving celebrations. Do you then have a ‘Christmas Dinner’ on 25th December for Christmas..?

But both equally vague…?

I’ve Googled! https://www.aquatic-eden.com/2006/11/golden-rule-of-aquascaping.html That’s my learning for today 🙂 EDIT: To remove the ’copy and paste’ text as I’ve also learnt to insert a link to a website 😂

Is the tank fully cycled..? Zero ammonia with nitrites makes me think not..?

Why have you started a second thread with the same title? You’d be better to keep all the information in one place…

I can’t see a reading for ammonia..? Have you tested that..? 5 ppm of nitrites is dangerous to the fish, do another water change until that comes down to zero. Make sure you treat the water to remove chlorine etc.

But did YOU have the vaccination…?

Planting an occupied tank…. This..? 😂😂😂

How can you call her evil..? Look at those beautiful blue eyes…😍

You should already know the answer to that - you should have viewed the menu - I mean entrants - and have cast your vote 😂

I’ve got a Betta in about a 9 gallon tank (we’re metric over here and use litres!) I do have a filter, it’s a small Eheim that is set to the lowest setting and doesn’t cause Blue any issues. They like lots of live plants those with wide leaves that they use to rest on and floating plants to...

1. No offence taken 🙂 2. I’ve got two tanks, one with dark/black sand and one with sand coloured sand and the plants definitely stand out more in the all dark tank. The looks are very different and I’m happy with both of mine and they’ve been selected to achieve a specific ‘look’ (both a...

Is it black so the two Betta fish don’t see each other..?

I think a black background makes a huge difference to the look of the tank…

What’s what? The species of fish..? Something specific on the fish..?

No, I’m not sure there is…sometimes you grow out of it after many years but it a long and difficult burden to bear 😂

Yep! Bad case of MTS developing there 😂😂😂 (Multiple Tank Syndrome)

🤣🤣🤣 please be careful….that’s because you’re a youngster 🤣🤣🤣

Can we get @JennySolano’s recent meet and greet image removed please..? It’s a full moon tomorrow (19th November) and I fear it’s all going to be too much for @Colin_T to cope with 🤣🤣🤣
