Have you changed the lighting? If it got brighter maybe he is trying to hide from them?

There’s always those Aqueon versa tops. They aren’t too bad. You can use LEDs since it’s glass. Probably not what you are looking for though.

I have an Amazon sword in a three gallon cube...... somehow I’ve managed to keep it pretty “bonsai” with trimming and low lighting. Pippin (betta) loves it so I cant complain.

Are there any fish inside? (I don’t see any in the photo but just want to make sure)

The sand will inevitably go into the gravel a bit, depends on how thick the gravel is. I do this all the time and my plants are still happy. The gravel has never gone to the top. I guess it could if the cap is too thin. The cap is only there for looks honestly. (And for technical reasons...

I use Super Naturals too! Check the bag it arrived in and see if it mentions something about a Biomagnet Clarifier. Some of the bags come with a sample of the clarifier which should help clear up the water. (Sometimes it’s at the bottom of the bag which requires some digging)

This is my axolotl Florencio and I just thought I’d share a photo of his adorableness with you guys.

Is the oil on the top like biofilm or protein film? Or is it something completely different?

The water will clear up, no need to start over. Just takes some patience (which I don’t have so I use water clarifier). It settles down eventually.

Okay I’m finally back from grocerys, Petco, and petsmart. So I arrived at Petco and there was only three very small pieces of wood, non of which would work for the scape but that’s okay. The rock selection was... well there wasn’t any except for slate and the bulk bags. They only had two seiryu...

You could always use gravel and then cap it with sand so the roots have somewhere to properly root.

I would just like to point out that kuhli loaches aren’t always boring, they can be super silly sometimes.

As someone of you know I recently got a 6 gallon water box for Christmas and I have some interesting plans for it. I will be documenting an aquarium build for the first time here on Fishlore so let’s see how this goes. This will be my first high tech scape. So far I already have the aquarium and...

Maybe a moonlight gourami? I believe they are peaceful to an extent. They can be territorial though with other males and other gourami.

Spot treating with seachem excel works like a charm for BBA. Just get some in a syringe and aim it towards the worst spots with BBA. This tactic got rid of BBA in around 3-4 days (for me atleast). Amano shrimp helped pick off the remaining BBA.

Sorry for the super late reply, I’ve personally never used API quickstart but none of the “instant” cycles really work in one day. Sure they may help but they are not instant. Prime isn’t an insta cycle, it just makes ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates harmless. Also works as a water conditioner...

I would pick up a bottle of Seachum Prime. This stuff is a blessing when it comes to unstable parameters and fish-in cycling.

I wholeheartedly agree with that

The space for betta fish doesn’t necessarily have to be for one fish. Alot of Bettas can be kept in a community setting along with other peaceful and non fin nipping fish. Then again I can see where you are coming from.

I think I have found love.....
