Ok, so only enough water to keep the filter media wet and to transfer the fish. that makes it sooo much easier. thanks everyone!

realized that it makes more sense to use three or four 5-gallon buckets to save 2/3 of water & transfer the fish, then empty the tank, move it, then refill the tank, then add fish water & old water,...

I moving literally about 250'. I have an established tank with live plants, 1 male betta and 10 harlequin/lamb chop rasboras + 1 zebra snail. This is also my 1st tank (I started about 6-9 mo ago).
...

I have to go away for 6 days on a biz trip & asked my good LSF if I could get someone to check the tank in 4 days since the family member who is coming to feed the fish refused to do a water change...

Thanks so much again for the comments.
The edges of his fins look less like globes & a little more like shreds today. I'm borrowing a better camera from a friend today so I can take good images &...

any comment on Hikari Betta Revive Health Aid?

There are now five of these very small spherical growths on his fins! I'm so worried. Am getting the aquarium salt & indian almond leaf tomorrow & will use as you suggest. Will either of these have...

Maybe there's no oily residue because altho I took out charcoal media from the Fluval Edge filter as instructed, I didn't think to remove little Bio Bag filter cartridge from the 3 gal cycled tank...

Weird: no oily residue, no sheen, just faint eucalyptus-like smell of the melaluca tree. Tried blotting to see if something oily would be on towel -- nada. BTW, used a syringe marked in ml left...

OMG I've used it 2x -- I won't use it again!
The LFS said that it was a natural product that was plant-based & more benign that using a medication. I don't see any oily residue on the surface. ...

Thanks for your messages.
about the time tiara wrote, I went to LFS & spoke to owner who has a degree in some kind of fish science. He'd never seen this sort of thing either, but felt there was a...

I'm afraid my betta is sick: his fins seem to have changed while i was away for the last 4 days (friend fed fish...did 40% water change before I left)

He has two small globes on either side of...

Does anyone know if quartz is problematic for a zebra nerite? I am new to this, but noticed that the snail travels all over my 12 gal tank's walls, substrate, plants, driftwood, but never up the...

oops wrong forum
couldn't find way to delete whole thread

Lady Hobbs -- would you confirm something for me?
I have a fluval edge mech/chem/bio filter in my relatively new but cycled 12 gal tank. The instructions said to rinse the carbon packet every 3-4...

Yes, I think being new makes me extra caution because I've made mistakes that were hard on the fish.
So I'm doing what you suggested. also bought some frozen daphnia cubes that I can cut a sliver...

The stuff I wanted to reduce ammonia was out @LFS, so I went w/ LFS rec to use Ultimate as de-chlorinator & ammonia reducer...it didn't say that it would change ph, but yesterday I read yet another...

Just planted a tank for the 1st time less than 2 weeks ago. Tall (22") narrow (17") fluval edge 12 gal w/ 42 bright white 7600K high luminosity LEDs. Very bright room w/ wall of windows facing south...

Background: new, planted 12 gal tank w/ good Fluval Edge mech/chem/bio filtering system. Tetra Aqua Safe de-chlorinator in water. Also added driftwood to lower pH; local water typically 8. ...

This is kinda part 2 of my earlier thread in the beginner freshwater forum which I posted before I had a school of juvenile rasboras in with my male betta & a zebra nerite in a 12 gal community tank....

I bought this plant from a LFS. Said I was newbie who wanted low light, easy, no CO plants for a small tank (12gal). Salesperson had a very strong Japanese accent. Asked the name 3x but couldn't...

First half an hour was a bit worrisome. Betta boy continually chased rasboras but was obviously not fast enough to catch anyone. After 30 minutes, though, he mostly stopped. Wondered whether to...

thk u
no hay fodue fork, but maybe I can adapt a bbq screwer so it's safe to put in tank

16" x 14" -- but with a fold to float / clip to tank, so probably 14 x 12.
But 3 gal water referred to water from 3 gal tank I was moving the betta out of, 12 gal water to the newer 12 gal tank I...

Have just transferred my zebra to new cycled 12 gal live planted tank from 3 gal w/ fabric plants. No naturally occurring algae yet, so bought some hikari mini algae wafers since veggie clips not so...
