Activated carbon by itself I was told does nothing to help with ammonia. The main purpose of black carbon is to remove debris and impurities from the water, the white ammonia charcoal or ammo-chips...

ok, 2 things. First, how and why would I be adding ammonia to my tank? and second, what do you mean by an "internal" source of ammonia? that sounds real bad.

I have a male crowntail betta in my 3 gallon.

saying the ammonia is out of control is an understatement. It has been this way for quite a good while and resists any attempts to lower and remove it , when I do water changes it only seems to...

20 gallon stocking:

4 cory cats
2 mickey mouse platys
5 zebra danios

I have a topfin 20 and a topfin 10 power filters hooked up (recently installed the second one had an extra filter figured...

Read my post "Ammochips in filter" I can give more details too.
Here I was thinking that carbon always HAD to be used to keep parameters in check. Others have carbon regularly in their filters too...

Heh, I have absolutely NO idea how you do it but if I don;t have carbon in my filters there is crud and debris floating everywhere and don;t even get me started on water quality!! Personally the...

I have too many tanks as it is , so the temptation for buying fish is still present but has gone down alot mostly because I have too much tank work all by myself to do. 10 tanks to be exact.

I recently found out about these ammonia removing chips that you put in the filter and it continuously filters out ammonia and nitrite rather than a one time thing with Amquel + or Ammolock. I am...

ok this makes me really mad and sad. I got sent an email about a couple who were trying to save their choking poodle from dying, the guy was speeding 100mph (I'LL admit that wasn't the best thing to...

a betta is great for the 2.5

I'd replace the tank. cracks in any aquarium is a bad thing. it may look like it;ll hold water but when you least expect, it will leak or burst.

it is always sad to lose a fish. sorry megan for your loss.

I would say a betta or possibly, hmmm.. thinkin' here...... umm what about an otto catfish?

how many bettas do you betta owners have. I have 11 bettas. 7 male and 4 female. Feel free to post your pics of bettas. I like seeing what bettas other people have. :19:

see that's the thing. they are soo tiny that I think being in the cups is most likely the best place for them now as if I put them into an actual tank, they will get buried/crushed by the gravel or...

I don;t know that is your decision, I don;t know anything about breeding bettas.
But if I were to go with a color or colors I would go with maybe a pink female or you could try a pure white one?...

is there a chance they'd survive?

oh, let;s see here, I have got 11 bettas, some guppies and fry, 6 cories, 5 zebra danios, and 2 mickey mouse platys. that is more than 14 fish. :)

it does look normal but it is just soo tiny, it is like barely there. I recently caught another 1 of the tiny fry and they are in little cups atm now. I also do not know if they will survive because...

I recently bought a small fry tank for guppy fry (a 1 gallon) nothing fancy, so that is my 14th tank but it isn;t set up yet. I think in the future I won;t have quite so many tanks and yes I do think...

I have 14 tanks and mini tanks. I am just curious as to how many aquariums and what size of tanks everyone has? Most of mine are betta tanks, I have one community tank, some guppy/fry tanks, and the...

aww the little females bettas are cuute! Appropriate name for the red male. Great looking tanks and I am sure you will have some very happy fish!!

ok, one of my guppies gave birth, some of them are sooo extremely tiny. I got one of the tiny fry and one of the larger ones. My question is, is it premature and wasn;t ready to be born yet? I'd post...

I would most definitely have some sort of lid on your tank if you're going to get a betta as bettas WILL jump especially at feeding time. ONe of my female bettas rip little snowball, jumped out of...
