    Disinfect The Tank Or Trash It?

    My husband would like me to try to sell our 3.5 gallon tank set up and heater because it is only 7 months old and he is loathe to throw it out. But I am reluctant to do this because I feel as if there has been some undetected disease that has been killing our fish. Is there any surefire way to...

    Betta Listless, Losing Color, Rests On Tank Floor--what To Do?

    Thanks again to everyone who posted/PM'd me. Charlie is loving his 80 degree tank. His color is coming back and he is interested in eating and responds to things outside his tank again.

    Temporarily Heating A 1 Gal. Tank?

    On the emergency board, kindly readers have suggested we need to heat our sick Betta's habitat. But until I can get a 5-gal. tank set up and running, is it possible and safe to use the 25-Watt Stealth Visitherm heater in my Aquatic Gardens 1-gallon UGF tank? The guy at PetCo sold it to me today...

    Betta Listless, Losing Color, Rests On Tank Floor--what To Do?

    Heading out to get the stuff to test the water and treat his fins. We are in the USA--Oregon. He completely rejected the pea. As to heating--a bigger tank is not feasible. Is it possible to heat a 1-gallon tank at all?
