I'd like to get another Betta for my 36g because my old male Betta passed away. He lived with 8 rosy tetras,1 adult and 6 baby platies and 3 Cory catfish. Is there a different in behavior for male and female Bettas? I understand male Bettas are a little more aggressive. I'm talking about how...

She's so cute! How old is she?

It could be an injury from maybe from something sharp in the tank. They aren't very aware of their surroundings and they like to dig though the gravel for food. So it could have got cut in a rock or decor. Watch it too see if it gets worse or it starts to go away. Just to be sure it doesn't get...

I had the same experience with my glowlight tetras and Betta. The glowlight tetras passed away though because I made the bad decision to buy them from PetSmart, so they all died and infested my tank with gill flukes. Besides fin nipping,I did love those little guys.

Thank you for the reply and ideas! That's a nice tank you have.

Can a honey gourami live with a few male guppies? They will be living in a 10 gallon planted tank. Im getting more plants for it later on.

Wow thanks for putting all that effort into your reply, I appreciate it. your tank is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for the ideas!

I agree. I have a clown pleco in my 36 gallon that came from my dad who kept it in a 10 gallon for 10 years. When I went over to his house and looked at his fish tank, I never ever saw the clown pleco. He was unhappy and not taken care of good. Anyway I have him now I'm my 36g and he is very...

That's a good idea. I already have a clown pleco I'm my 36 gallon aquarium and he's really old so maybe when he goes down hill I'll put him in there was his retirement home. I have an old Betta in there as well so maybe I'll just us this tank for my old fish.

Ok thanks for the idea

It's best to keep her in the main tank. Instead add lots of floating decorations or plants and add some more hiding spots. She will probably give birth around the bottom of the tank in a corner. From my experience the babies like hiding at the top of the tank so if you have floating plants you...

Wrong thread but I can't find the stocking ideas one. Besides Bettas what fish can I keep alone in a 10 gallon planted tank? I'm looking for ones with personality.

Ok thanks, I was going to us the filter from my aquarium and put it in my new one so that helps the cycle.

She probably is. It looks like her stomach is getting a box shape, so in a week or so she might give birth. I'm not sure about mollies but my platy is usually pregnant for 4 weeks. She has been pregnant 4 times now but I've only got fry from her first batch because the other fish are them.

I'm getting a 10 gallon aquarium soon and it's going to be my first planted tank. The plants I'm thinking of getting are rotala rotundifolia, Corkscrew Val, anubias nana petite and java fern windelov. Can I plant the tank if it's not cycled? I have another aquarium that's cycled so I'm using...
