    HELP! Fuzzy Stuff growing in tank!

    I’m sorry. I need to answer questions and clarify things. I apologize I missed most of them (!)el The fertilizer I use, that was recommended by a Betta person is aquarium co-op Easy Green. Now, I will add it after water changes. I was doing it in between. The tank has two sponge filters. I have...

    HELP! Fuzzy Stuff growing in tank!

    Hi Yes! It does get more light. I put more dwarf water lettuce on the tight side because Clarence really loves it. Left side lives Colter, with less water lettuce and more algae. Colter has turned into my problem child, he doesn’t eat nearly as much as Clarence. He spits out a lot of the food I...

    HELP! Fuzzy Stuff growing in tank!

    Both my Bettas are doing really well. They are due for a partial water change this weekend. But they are happy, eating etc. Algae doesn’t seem to bother them at all. It seems I have more of this algae on one side the the other which seems rather weird to me. Thanks so much

    HELP! Fuzzy Stuff growing in tank!

    Hello I too have this algae. I didn’t think it was bad. My tank is only about 3 months old. I have live plants with it. How do I get rid of it on live plants? I have a split 20 gallon with a Betta on each side. Difficult to clean. Will mystery snails help? I leave my light on about 8 hours a day...

    Coconut half shells and Bettas

    happy to report that Clarence is almost another fish! He loves his living leaves floating on top. I feed him at least 5 x a day, his colors even look better - thank you so much! I'm having big worries with Fenella, I'll start another thread for that

    Coconut half shells and Bettas

    thank you I'll see if my friend can download the video on to youtube. I can't make the resolution of my iphone any less, again I'll ask him, maybe he knows. If the water is bad, then why isn't the other Betta suffering? Could this be from being closed up in a plastic container for a long time...

    I managed to upload the photos. As you can see he is leaning on his side when he stops swimming which is 90% of the time.

    I’ve been extremely busy. I managed to download one photo as you can see. I can’t seem to be able to upload/download anything else. What Clarence does is swim a little, rest and his dorsal fin falls over to one side and he leans towards the side the dorsal fin has flipped over. I have a wide...

    Coconut half shells and Bettas

    Thank you. As I said I have the TETRA Easy strips and they continue to show Ammonia levels of 0 to 0.5, I know it's not very accurate and I will buy an expensive kit. The bottled water has no sodium, I also did pour it out in a clean bucket for about 10 hours before putting in the tank along...

    OK, sorry... but, I cannot find where to buy this plant except from a place in NYC with pretty bad ratings. I live in Venice CA. I prefer to buy online, there has to be more shopping selections. Any suggestions? thank you

    Coconut half shells and Bettas

    Hello, I'm new. It has been years since I had aquariums. I got suckered at Petsmart and ended up rescuing 3 of the saddest, worst looking and longest there Bettas. Clarence, Colter and Fenella. The boys reside in a 10 gallon divided tank, while Fenella is in a 2.5 (seems this should be a #MeToo...
