Thank you all for responses. This has definitely been a learning experience for me. I don't blame the person who was watching my fish at all. The filter was still working when she last checked on the fish and there didn't appear to be anything wrong at the time. This isn't the first time she's...

I screwed up and feel horrible. I went on a week long vacation, I had someone coming in to feed my fish and take care of my other pets. However, I hadn't realized my two snails had died before I left (most likely of old age, they were over two years old). So, two snails were left to decay in the...

Don't get another goldfish until you have a tank big enough to hold 3 full grown lion heads. For one lion head, you need at least 20 gallons, preferably 30. Add 10 gallons for every goldfish after that. For 3 lion head goldfish, you need a 40 - 50 gallon aquarium. Even if you are planning on...

A betta should be in a 5 gallon tank minimum. Unfortunately, pet stores still advertise these small tanks as the perfect home for a betta, but they need more space to swim. Get a larger tank as soon as you can! As for the betta's condition, it sounds like velvet to me. the easiest way to...

I disagree with people giving a definite "no" to bettas living in a community tank. As with all animals, it depends on their personality. While bettas don't necessarily need any tank mates, I've found depending on the fish, it can work very well. I have my two bettas, Ares and Aphrodite, set up...

Thanks everyone for the responses! It's eased my mind and I'm happy they're getting what they need! Thanks again! :D

So they don't necessarily need to eat it? Just having it in the water is enough?

So, I'm relatively new to snails. My boyfriend always wanted me to get one, but I wasn't really interested (too worried about crazy snail reproduction after hearing some horror stories from friends). But I found a beautiful little tiger nerite at the fish store and I fell in love. After a quick...

Sorry, it is a 5 gallon, I just missed the 5. I plan on eventually moving her to the 20 gallon and moving the male betta to a 10. And I agree with the 0 nitrates but that tank was cycled and then I added all the plants so that might be it. I really hope it’s not TB, so it’s good to hear it’s...

Hi, So this is my first time asking any questions on here, so if I placed this thread in the wrong location, sorry. Anyways, about a week and a half ago, I saw a female betta at the pet store (one of the big commercial ones), who was looking not so great. I purchased her because I wanted to...
