I have a double yellow headed amazon and you always need interactive toys for entertainment. Something they have to work at to get a treat or a toy with different materials like ropes tied in knots that they can undo or wood blocks to whittle at with their beaks. Birds see color so the wilder...

Ruined my cycle by getting rid of my filter. Now I have to do it over again with the fish in it. So, I have to do water changes and I added 2 amazon sword plants and an anachris that are supposed to be easy to grow and good at reducing ammonia so crossing my fingers that it helps. I need to...

Hi, Karen. I feel your pain as I am new and currently going through the same thing. I did my nitrogen cycle but threw all my good work out the window when I changed my filter. Now I'm basically doing the cycle again with fish that I am trying to keep alive. The folks here are awesome and...

He looks so much happier. I'm sure you'll find the perfect name soon. Looking forward to watching him get his personality!

Welcome. I'm new too and the people on Fishlore are so nice and helpful. I've learned quite a bit already. You're going to like it here.

Heights too. I can't even bear to watch a scene on television where your looking down into a canyon or from a plane. It makes my knees weak. I went to a ballgame with my work and the seats were in the nosebleed section. I could not watch the game. I had to leave early and made my husband...

I am leaving it out to get room temperature I am leaving it out to get room temperature? I did not have an extra thermometer but I do now. I bought a five gallon bucket with lid to use for my water changes. The water felt cold and I was afraid with all the other issues of getting ich. I...

So I have set aside my treated aquarium water for tomorrow, went to the petco and petsmart where I bought 2 medium amazon swordplants and an anachris? from a tank with fish in it for more bacteria? Anyway I swear while I am getting my plant I see a teen walking by with a 2 gallon betta tank...

I gave gravel after which I wished I had gotten sand but at least I was smart enough not to change it out. I don't have any live plants because I was worried about taking care of the fish since I'm so new. I thought once I had my fish and that was working OK that I would start replacing the...

I'll do another water change tomorrow. I guess I can double dose the prime in the new water and aquarium water? I wish I had a stronger relationship with the designated fish store here to get some beneficial bacteria to add to my tank. Thanks, StinkyLoaf...I appreciate it.

I was afraid that I added too many fish even though my water perimeters were good. I ordered 2 types to save shipping fees and now I am paying the price for it, I think. Lesson learned but I hate that my fish are paying the price for my foolishness.

I'll take the support thank you. Looking forward to your next betta rescue update.

Yes when I saw the ammonia at .25 I looked at my filter and it was dirty ( I thought) so I placed a new one in that I rinsed with aquarium water from the tank even though it had some ammonia in it.

Hi all- Not sure if this is a question or a rant. I started my 36 gallon tank about 6 weeks ago and believed I had gone through the cycle process. I had the bacterial bloom, the water got clear and I daily checked the water where my ph was 7 and ammonia/ nitrite levels were 0. I added my...

It's never easy, never. But you rescued him when he needed someone the most and gave him such a good long life. Please remember that. for you both.

I'm so sorry He was lucky to have you in his life.

Oops. I guess I was wrong, I hope you enjoy whatever tank mates you add. Best of luck to you!

Hi, Nayla. Nice to meet you. I am certainly no expert as I am new myself but I believe a 10 gallon tank with a betta is too small to add 5 neon tetras. Maybe someone can suggest a safe addition that's just the right size and temperament?

This is awesome....I'm so happy you got him! Good job both of you. He's going to be something special, I can tell.

Thank you Seamus111
