I get 2 temp readings. The strip that I have on the tank reads: 77 degrees. The thermometer reads 80. Which should I believe? I also will buy soft sand, for my fish, and get rid of the gravel. I will go to Amazon and buy it. So should I do a 50 percent water change? Then scoop out the gravel...

When I cycled my 20 gallon tank, with feeder's, they made it past the cycle. I took the feeder's back to the pet store. No one at the pet store said anything, about being inhumane. They took the fish back, and I had a cycled tank. I could not do that with a betta, or guppy fish. There are...

My betta just died, I tested my water and there was 0 ammonia.
