Hi Guys Merry Xmas. I have a 30 Liter aquarium, non planted and have a Betta. Tank running for a year now. Question: If i put only gravel in a corner box filter (air driven. the old ones) as my media - would that act as a UGF for a 30L tank ?

Can you tell me what brand of Superglue please ?

Easy Life Root Stick

Thank you Colin, this morning most of the brown colour was seeped into my filter wool in the corner box filter. Vacuumed & did a partial water changed and its all clean again. Side note: Question about the fertilizer - doesn't it dissolve slowly and thereby released into the water which in...

Hi months ago i had giant vallis and i inserted a plant nutrient stick in the gravel. later on i removed the giant vallis and i forgot about the nutrient stick buried in the gravel half an hour ago i was sifting my hand in the gravel to see if i have snails and BANG !!!! i bust the nutrient...

Just an academic question here : Should I hypothetically not use the sponge you suggested and only changed the filter floss, would my ceramic rings not hold enough bacteria when the new floss is inserted?

Yes my tank is cycled, i will add a piece of sponge before the filter floss thank you very much for the advice

Wow ok I will go get my Anubias tomorrow and I will try the spider plant babies (that really shocked me honestly had to google the word ! ) This is exciting

This is my tiny tank its one hour hour away from sunset and this is the light I get on a sunny day. As you can see and please don't laugh, I put pot plants around it to imagine I have plants.

How much of light would the Anubias plant need a day ? I am asking because I removed the light from my tank but I still have it ready to go if needs be.

I was researching Betta feeding weeks ago because I want to ultimately put one Betta in a 33L Tank. I remember watching this Betta Keeper on you-tube talking about and demonstrating the A to Z about Betta feeding. According to him and you'd see it in the video, his Betta fish stop eating the...

I'm very afraid to start putting in plants although I'd love to so I just got two Moss Balls for now and trying to build some confidence to put real plants

From my experience of watching "Jaws" & Sharknado anything can bleed suspended in water

Hi good people : I added two moss balls to my TINY aquarium because I've heard its low maintenance What are the advantages of this Moss ball ? Does it really do anything significant ?

I'm not sure if this is helpful but my guppies fight for certain foods and don't fight for other foods. They get aggressive depending on the food I'm feeding - I'm guessing they fight for the good tasty food.

Hi, I am new here. I have a tiny 33 L tank with 2 guppies and 1 dwarf Gourami. I have substrate and 1 tiny cave, filter and heater.
