Thanks for all the info everyone. I guess I'll just try out the tabs and the flourish comprehensive.

I have a 10 gallon planted aquarium with some crypts, wisteria, aponegeton bulbs, and a banana plant. Recently I managed to sprout a lily bulb that grows the red lilies. I currently use Seachem...

I knew this would turn into a salt debate. The answer is yes, I put salt in my tank because my local fish store recommended it. They put salt in all of their tanks. Before when I didn't put salt in I...

No i haven't tested salinity levels; I was just speaking in the general sense. I know that salinity is extremely low in a freshwater tank compared to salt water. Is there an actual tester that can...

No it's a freshwater tank. I use API Aquarium salt. It says add 1 rounded tablespoon for every 5 gallons, so I add 1/2 a tablespoon for my 2 1/2 gallon water changes.

Hello, I made a boo-boo with my first aquarium. I have a 10 gallon and I've been replacing 2/12 gallons of water weekly. Since there's evaporation, I usually take out around 2 gallons and just add a...

I dont know if this is fin rot or a fungus. My betta has white crust all around its fins. Would there be different treaments depending on what it is?

I just realized my female betta's left pectoral fin is gone. She's in a 10 gallon with 5 ember tetra. I've never seen them fight, and I can't imagine that one of those tiny fish could attack her to...

Thanks for the heads up, will do.

Just wondering if it is supposed to be. The aquaclears have three filter media: the sponge, the carbon, and the biomax. I replaced the carbon that came with it with a Chemi-Pure filter medium which...

Just a centerpiece suggestion: I think most gouramis are fine as solitary fish and they're pretty docile (I could be wrong). If you decide to get a gourami I'd recommend not getting the dwarf...

If I knew my gourami was suffering from some horrible disease I would euthanize him. But if all this swim bladder problem does is tire him out and make swimming more difficult, then I see no reason...

The tank was first cycled with the 3 tetra. But now the water is really cloudy and I'm seeing some slight ammonia rise. I'm pretty sure its going through a mini cycle from when I added the betta and...

I spent 15 bucks on a bucket.. Why? Because thats just how I roll.

Just thought I'd share the one I ordered. I had a gift card to spend so I thought Id go all out and get a premarked one. I like it because the markings can easily be viewed upon looking into the...

Ok, perhaps not the most technical question. I'm trying to find a marked mopped bucket to help me properly measure how much water I'm draining out during water changes. I have a 10 gallon so it...

I have three long finned black skirt tetra. They're my original fish from when I cycled my 10 gallon tank (its the first tank I've owned). Unfortunately they fight alot with each other. Yes, I know...

Thanks for the info. As of now, all the fish in the tank are friendly (except the tetras sometimes fight with each other). When/if the time comes where the betta and gourami start fighting, I'll deal...

Not sure on the substrate, just generic pebbles from my lfs. Temp stays between 76 and 80. Filtration is Aquaclear 20. I perform 30% water changes every two weeks. The tank is still relatively new (a...

Here's some picks. You can see how the gourami rests on top of the thermometer. The second he goes off he starts sinking, He swims around for a little then just goes right back on top. The betta just...

My 10 gal tank has 3 black skirt tetra. 2 weeks ago I introduced a female betta and a powder blue dwarf gourami. For the past week both have had swim bladder problems. The gourami sinks while the...

Possible advice: Ask at the fish store where you buy your fish if they keep aquarium salt in their tanks. I just found out that my fish store keeps all their freshwater tanks with some aquarium salt...

Hello, let me explain my situation first. I have just finished cycling my 10 gal fw tank and have added two new fish (dwarf gourami and female betta). My original fish are 3 long finned black skirt...

I've got a heater set up in it now. It's the Hagen Elite Submersible Mini Preset Heater 50W. Temp doesnt get lower than 76 now.

Here's the aquarium and the gang. I've got the Aquaclear 20 which I hear is a nice filter. Don't think I need a heater as the temperature fluctuates between 72 and 80 from day to...
