Did you only use Eheim? How do you tell if it's the pump/motor noise or bubble one?

I have horrible experience with Penn Plax, especially the cascade 1000. Noise is killing me. Some said the canisters are quiet relatively, and YMMV to each hearing level, but I read too many complaining about PP canisters noise level. I finally lowered the level to a "louder than any filter used...

My store bought bettas don’t seem to have a lot energy. The female started to lay more eggs each time. However, the male changed from caring fry like a greatest dad to egg/fry eater. I obviously didn’t like this situation, so I did some searching and found people hatching eggs manually. In the...

I have no idea what I said earlier, but I could be toxic at that moment. Please don’t take anyone’s words seriously but only follow what you think is right after careful thought-through. people are facing different situationsthat’s why the answers are all different.But when it comes down to the...

something you did was very wrong. you need to find it out by yourself. Betta needs low and neutral pH. Let me tell you this. I had two male betta lives in 10 gallon (separate times) with Cory, shrimp, snail, lots of plants, some female betta, they all live well. I never tested my water but...

Here it is. There are numerous black dots which worries me.

I bought this from Meijer and they couldn’t tell what this is. Anyway, I noticed some black dots on most of the plant leaves. Not sure what they are and if they are dangerous or not. Need some help. Thank you!

Like many said, don’t worry too much and over stress yourself. Try to avoid any SUDDEN change, other than that, you will be surprised how fish are hardcore

Forget what I said, just checked mine and it was API stress coat, not prime. Follow the above guy's directing, 5 ml to 50 gallons, so 20 drops treats up to 15 gallons safely. I don't know how it could be so concentrated, and I would not try those type of dechlorinator. lol

First time listening to this catfish, and found it was very interesting. Your daughter has a unique taste.

I switched from tetra to prime, liked it. It's 1ml for 2 gallons water, but I use slightly more dechlorinator always. Roughly count 12 drops for 1 ml, and always dechlorinate your water first before adding them to the tank. Saw some videos will add water and add dechlorinator prior or during the...

are you cycling your tank? I didn't get some important message from your post. do you have any fish in the tank? why do you need the carbon to cycle your tank?

I have 3 sponge filters and tetra 10I in my 36 bow front. Mod the 10I with course sponge and floss media (cheapest on amazon), the water is super clear now, and it's fry safe. Just cut the course sponge and put it in the intake, very simple. My last Betta enjoyed being sucked on the intake...

The angle of the picture looks tricky, but he definitely has damage, I agree. Did you feed him during your absence?

I always think “over filtration” is needed if you are a lazy person. I myself have 3 sponge filters, 1 diy K1 media filter and a internal filter (15 gallon capacity). I have some plants in the tank as well and my molly fry platy fry and Bettas are having a happy life. Because you keep goldfish...
