I know I thought that was kind of strange too. Each their own though but I would hope if someone did something like that in the future they would make sure they had homes set up for the fish after the wedding.    Beautiful betta Be4st, he looks great. I think he would be happier in his own home...

Do you have a lot of hiding places for the fry?? 

Do you have anyone who would be willing to help with the bigger tanks?

I'm trying not too. It's just irritating right now.   I think we are going to start just ordering fish online or getting them straight from a breeder. We keep going to the pet stores and end up with problems, lol.  Thanks for the info bigcheed! 

Was feeding my betta's this morning. They are in a divided ten gallon. I looked closely at one of them and noticed he has a white spot. I compared him to some pictures online and sure enough he has it. I don't think my other betta has it but I know it is only a matter of time. What is the best...

  Yeah, I'm not even 100% positive after everything I've read. Probably right on the lack of space. One ended up dying and the two other zebra's were starting to look pretty beat up. Looks like it was the two leopards that were bullying. That's okay. I rather have them out of the tank then all...

Cheaper!! lol I don't know if one is easier to clean then the other though. Pool filter sand wasn't hard to clean at all. 

I use pool filter sand and I love it. I wanted a whiter sand though but the color has really grown on me.    Here's a picture of my 15 gallon (this was before I took out the bubble bar):      10 gallon:      I need to update my pictures. I've switched some stuff around but the sand is still...

Never mind, we took them all back. 

I bought five long fin danio's for my 15 gallon. Two leopards and three zebras. They were doing pretty good but now I think one of the leopards are picking on the other ones. One fish has most of his caudal fin almost gone and seems to be missing scales near that area. Then I noticed another...

Alrighty! Thanks for the responds! 

Finally got both tanks up and running with fish in them. I have to thank these awesome people at this mom and pop fish store in a town next to mine that helped out so much getting these tanks going. Okay, now that everything is up and going when should I do a water change? I tested one tank...

Beautiful fish! They look like girls to me but I'm not an expert on betta's (not yet at least). I didn't even know there were males with shorter fins until recently. 

I'm thinking about making one for both my 10 and 15 gallon tanks to give them the extra filtration. I want to go as cheap as I possibly can with this. I noticed that the biggest things that would cost the most would be the filter sponge if I bought it from the pet store (I haven't found anything...

Basically there were two ten gallon filters on the 15 gallon tank. One of the filters was originally bought for the ten gallon and was on there for a while. Then we got the 15 gallon but the people we bought it from had a 10 gallon filter for the tank. So instead of trying to fit a 20 gallon...

I was told to just flush em  but that is probably the worst thing to do. 

I put two ten gallon filters on my 15 gallon tank. Then bought a new filter for my 10 gallon tank. All went well until the cloudiness wasn't clearing on the 10 gallon (been like this for almost a week now). So, I went and took one of the 10 gallon filters I had on the 15 gallon (which was on the...

Hmmm, that is interesting. I know I've been told you should have a ratio of one male to two females to keep the aggression down. I learned this after I got two male guppies for my ten gallon. They didn't really fight but the bigger one did pick on the smaller male guppy. There was enough hiding...

That is an awesome idea, thanks!  LOL, I know right? I'm new to using the API test. Only thing I ever remember using as a kid was a test kit for the ammonia. 

If anyone has an extras laying around. I would be willing to make some sort of deal. Trying to compare colors with the computer screen just is not cutting it, lol. 

First chilly night with the windows open and the temperature dropped from 78 to almost 69 degrees. I think I'm gonna take it back. 

Should I call the water company? I know I tested the ammonia right. The color was a neon green for the tap.     Both tanks have a air pump and air stones. I also get one gallon jugs to replace the water levels or when I do water changes. These jugs are used for drinking water so I know they are...

Oh okay. How long should I wait?  Oh would adding water be okay? I noticed the water levels are getting low in both tanks? 

Awesome, thanks everyone. Whew, I feel better, lol. 

LOL, yeah I was kind of freaking out a little bit. Last time it happen it wasn't nearly this bad so I'm sitting here thinking I am doing something wrong. I'm going to do some water changes today so hopefully that helps with the cloudiness. 

I noticed this before when I first set my ten gallon up but now it's on all three filter medias. What is this? I thought me and the boyfriend cleaned the sand pretty well. Could this explain why both tanks are a bit cloudy?      

Awwwww, 

API freshwater master test kit. 

Nope, no bogwood. Haven't used anything to lower the ph either.    The expiration date on the bottles is 11/16. Could I just have a bad test kit? 

I set both of my tanks up I think on the 6th. I went a head and tested both of them today. Looks like they are both sitting at the same water condition.    ph - 7.2 ammonia - 1.0 nitrite - 1.0  nitrate - 10    I thought that was kind of strange. Both tanks were set up on the same day. I have...

Yeah that sounds pretty bad. I wouldn't buy fish from a place that had that many dead fish in one tank. It is suggested not to buy from stores that have any dead fish but I don't know how that is possible. Fish can die from many different things not all of it being diseases. 

Read on different sites that it would break after a couple of months, possibility of over heating the tank or not heating the tank enough, then there were people complaining about it not even working out of the box. Good amount of the reviews were about how great it was for 5 to 10 gallon tanks...

I'm using a penn plax cascade hang-on power filter 80 on my ten gallon and a top fin power filter 10 and a Tetra whisper PF10 on a 15 gallon. All of them seem to have pros and cons. The top fin and tetra can both get really freaking noisy and neither are adjustable. The penn plax is very quiet...

Yes but I would suggest pool filter sand honestly. I like the texture better and I heard play sand is a headache to clean. It didn't take much to clean the pool filter sand. 

I don't seem to have luck with guppies. I did some research and it said that even in good conditions they can die without any reason. I'm not sure how true that is though. I just be careful about what petsmart you go to. Here we have some really good petsmarts and petcos then we have some really...

My 15 gallon seems to be hold up at 80 degrees. I don't know what brand the heater is but it is a submersible. Seems to work great but I wonder if 80 is too much for a tropical tank?   Then my 10 gallon has a tetra whisper heater 5-15. The tank has been sticking around 77.9 - 78. Would that be...

I'm using quikrete pool filter sand. It didn't take much to clean it and I have a power hanging filters on both of my tanks (I'm sure it would be fine with an internal filter). When you get the sand in the tank I would wait a bit for everything to settle before turning the filter on. I'm sure...

I've always had my tanks on dressers, lol. I really would like to have them both in the living room to show off but just don't have any room. 

Remove him.

I would be ify about putting him in there with that many fish. 13 fish just seems like a lot for a ten gallon.
