Can definitely do betta in this tank, tho you may lose the shrimp as they often snack on these kinds of guys-but not always. Ember tetra, harlequin rasbora, pearl danio also make good fish for this size tank. I don't advise ghost shrimp unless you get short finned, fast fish as these guys are...

Definitely keep us posted on your progress for sure. Something that you can do for the stand is to find some plywood, cut it to fit the stand and fit a piece of styrofoam over that. If you want to get "fancy" with that you can wrap some inexpensive black fabric around it and staple it to the...

Having read over all the information provided I can only guess it was "Gourami Disease" which is rather similar to the neon tetra disease. Some have it, some don't. A whole batch can have it-or all but a few. There is no way to tell, and no discernable amount of time when it'll affect the fish...

Ember Tetra is one of my favorite smaller species.

As Geoff stated, it's a bubble nest. They are in the same family as betta who do the same thing-both these fish species have labyrinth organs as well. It's pretty neat, and it simply means the fish has reached sexual maturity and nothing more. They don't need a mate or anything lol. Enjoy your fish!

I will touch on a few matters at hand here. Betta is tropical fish that are territorial aggressive but they can be kept in community tropical tanks with other non-aggressive fish that do not have long fins. That being said, this also depends on the actual temperament of the fish much like any...

Hey there, I'll slide in a little bit more info about these fish here. Betta fish are one of the species of fish that CAN change gender. They are not quite like groupers or clownfish that are guaranteed to do so or even have a high rate of doing so, but it is known for them to do this. This...

This looks rather like a graphite infection with a lesion. You can treat the fish, I have seen some similar tho the melafix will do little more than keep the wound clean, seachem stressguard can do the same for the fish. Graphite is a gram-positive bacteria and can be treated with kanamycin...

Horned nerite is fun to have as well tho they do lay small white eggs, tho they won't hatch unless the water is brackish. You can try shrimp but more times than not, they end up a snack. Ember Tetra is one of my favorites, you could do about 6-8 in the tank just fine and they add a nice...

This is false-not to jumble the thread. I believe I touched on this in my prior reply, keeping it short and sweet here. Fish do not grow to tank size, the only time this happens is when their body is stunted but their internal organs keep growing. This is not always apparent but it does shorten...

Thanks, everyone. Right now I only have my betta since I am moving soon. All my other fish are with my co-workers at an aquarium place. I've had bichers, arapaima, all kinds of tetra, cardinals, Corydora which I love, snails, shrimp, clams, gourami, Arowana, stingrays, and I've worked with...

Check all your decor for rough edges and watch to see your fish's behavior. They often like snug places to rest, and sometimes just wriggle into tight areas.

Just wanted to say hey, and I really enjoy working with fish I've worked in fish husbandry and general hobby stuff for some time and always learning, can't wait to help and learn here!

Some good advice is given here and welcome to the world of fish keeping! Everyone has already hit on some important points, hopefully, you can get the water test kit soon. API Master Test Kit is most readily available - there are others, some more comprehensive but that's a good start. Some will...

Hello. I just wanted to say that this betta does not have HITH Those are sensory pits-every betta has them there.
