Oh haha, thank you both ^^; I think water change for a container that size would have to be at least every 2-3 days... just my opinion. But I do the changes everyday. Yeah, I actually put a bucket of water out the night before so that it adjusts to the same temperature

The red betta died last night... I'm not sure why. He was fine, eating well and everything. He was the largest, so maybe it was because of old age? And the cloudy eye seems to be improving a bit. I added a wee bit of slat to the water, something like 1/8 teaspoon per gallon haha.

Thanks! I'll keep you guys updated on their progress. I brought in the space heater last night, and they seemed so much happier/active this morning. The red male is flaring like crazy and everyone has a bubblenest, which they didn't before. I'll take a look at that eye after breakfast. He's not...

Alright, I've done that. Thank you again! Also put a washed oak leaf and some java moss in each jar, which they seem to love =) One of them seems to have a slightly whitish cloudy eye on one side... he's the most active and seems otherwise healthy though. Will this clear up with cleaner water...

Ok, 50% daily sounds good. Thank you! About the dechlorinator, what do you mean by doubling up? Add twice as much to water as usual?

I've suddenly ended up with 4 bettas, I'll explain later. If I did daily water changes, removed all waste immediately with a turkey baster, and put a small live plant in to absorb pollutants, would they be alright in individual 1 gallon jars? I haven't got a tank to put them in right now, as...

Hi Nathan, welcome to the forum! I'm pretty new myself haha. Hope your zebra does alright! Tbh I don't know much about them :shifty:

A pearl gourami would definitely be great. They're very beautiful fish, I've had two before. You should have no problem with them eating your other fish - they're very peaceful and quite shy. In fact, they usually get picked on by other fish rather than the other way around... I also have two...

Alright guys, thanks! I just realized I had an old 10gal in the garage, but if I remember correctly it leaks :rolleyes: I'll probably just buy a replacement 10 gal tank, as I already have the hood, lighting, and filter from my old setup. I guess I'm looking at: - 4 (or 6?) Sparklers - 6 pygmy...

I very much like Sparkling Gourami, and I think I'll be getting some for my next tank. I'd like to mix them with small rasboras or danios and pygmy cories if my LFS has them. Would this work? I'd be getting a tank from 10-15 gallons, not sure yet. I need to save up some money first, haha. How...

I'd agree with the flake, also maybe try crushing some of it up a little smaller. That's what I had to do with my angel - he was eating all the food before my other fish even knew it was there XD By crushing it up it sinks faster, so the slower fish could get to it while my angel stayed near the...

It's a very nice tank =) You did a good thing waiting so long for the tank to cycle properly - it's actually a lot easier that way! Cardinals in my experience aren't too fragile. My dad had a shoal of cardinals and black skirts in his tank before 6 months and they were fine.

I feed once a day usually, flake. My angel is a food hog - he tends to gobble a majority of the larger flakes haha. I've resorted to crushing some of the flakes so they have a chance to get down to my gouramis and cory. I also put in a third of a sinking pellet before lights out for the cory so...

Such a pretty tank. I especially love the rocks submerged in the sand - lovely!

I think cories would be fine with the BN. Gravel shouldn't be a problem as long as it's rounded off - I have cories in my gravel tank as well =)

Eep, makes my stomach turn a little...

Thanks everyone =) Yellow honeys it is. I'm not sure what the red honeys look like. And yes, now that you mention it, the male has a slight black tint to his throat. I guess he's a boy after all!

Ah alright, cool. I actually measured my tank... and it's 30 gallons XD A friend gave it to me and said it was a 20... but it seemed like a rather large 20 to me. Would 30gal be okay? If not, how large is good? It's roughly 30" x 12" x 19" (lwh).

I brought them home two days ago, and they're probably my new favorite fish =) They're always exploring and nibbling at everything - it's so fun to watch them haha. Plus, the coloring of the Honeys is lovely... they're still small right now, only about 1 inch long. I think this one is the...

Thank you all for the welcomes and advice! I think I'll continue to do the water changes as I am right now. They seem to be happy =)

Thank you for your help! I'll eventually be moving my angel to my 20 gallon.

Hi, I'm Ryou c: I'm 16 years old haha. Nice to meet you all ^^ I'm new to the forum, but I've been keeping fish for a few years. Anyways, I was just wondering how often to do water changes in my relatively new tank, as I haven't . It's a 7 gallon Eclipse that's about 2 weeks old. It's been...
