I have 8 neons and a honey gourami in a 16 and have never see a single fry

I only say that since it also looks like plastic from the photo. I don’t know any 5 gallon tanks that are plastic, there may be one but I haven’t seen one.

Looking at the tank itself, it looks quite small. Are you totally sure it 5 gallons? It more resembles 2-3 gallons to me.

I’m glad this helped! I believe Home Depot has one for only $45 ish currently, definitely take a look at it. It’s a good deal for what you get weight capacity wise. I will be getting a second to hold my quarantine soon.

Haha yeah it’s only for 20g or smaller tanks. I’m doing the classic stand on my 72g bowfront

Yeah I know you can use the wire ones for the tank sizes I have but I just prefer the steel and wood. Makes me more comfortable haha. I have nightmares about a shelf or tank falling. If I wasn’t going to put a 20g long on it I might have went that rout. I’m also going to get some cheap fake...

No fish can go in a 5.5 with a betta but snails are a great option. I like ramshorn and nerite, but nerite are better for algae.

Oh no! That blows. My boyfriend is amazingly tolerant of my fish tank shenanigans. The shelf is so much better space wise. Takes up less floor space is look more organized. Although I will add, plan to have like a million plugs available. This shelf needed 15 for the tanks I have on it. Surge...

Do the Nicrew clip on LED. It’s super cheap

You could do a small corner sponge filter or a baffled HOB. I prefer sponges since they are low flow but they to tank up space in the tank. Not too hard to hide though. I’m going to assume all you have near by is box stores so I don’t recommend something you can’t get. What I would do is pickup...

I have a few floating logs in my betta tanks as well as lots of floating plants. I like the look of the roots that hang down at least.

Yeah recently with Oregon’s opening up, you no longer need an appointment. It’s still kinda hard to stay away from people, I get it.

Yeah the largest one I will eventually put in here is a 20g long. I have the tank but don’t plan to keep it on the self until I move.

I personally would not take the chance. I've de-rimmed 20g long tanks and that was hard enough. I almost cracked the glass quite a few times. With the price tag on the Roma tanks I dont think it worth the risk. You can buy large rimless tanks if thats the look your going for.

I agree with both things said above. One of mine started doing this before it ended up dying even with treatment, not normal. Start with parameters and the other question already asked.

I have no clue about my room. It’s a super old house, probably like 120 years by now. Solid hardwood floors. It’s also on a second story. There a plastic piece between the floor and the metal part of the shelf. For tanks, I have a 10g on the bottom, a 2 10g (different type) tanks in the middle...

Yeah I’ll just make sure not to spill. I want to change it long term for the possibility of a tank leak. If ones goes they all may go. I have left over stain and sealant from when refinished my 72g tank stand so I just need some plywood and a saw. Should work out. I move in September so I got time.

Thanks y’all. My father pointed out that particle board doesn’t hold up well when wet. I will have to be carful for now but when I move (don’t even get be started on how the heck im moving with 9 tanks....) I’m going to switch it out with plywood or something and actually stain and seal it.

I just thought I would share my newest thing in my fish room/bedroom. I had three tanks sitting on my desk and I kidna wanted that space back for myself so I decided to go the shelf rout. I got this used but it’s from Home Depot and can hold up to 4000 lbs, 800 per shelf. I’m keeping 5 tanks on...

I would remove the carbon cartridge and use a different media. Ceramic rings work well, in a media bag. If your tank is well established, the BB in the substrate and tank itself hopefully will be enough to not send you into a mini cycle. I would also post some photos here of your fishes illness...
