my betta died of fin rot today. I noticed it a few weeks back and was planning on treating it, but i didn't really get around to it due to school and such. now i feel really bad, and probably won't get another betta for a long time. (btw he got fin rot from the ember tetras fin nipping him...

the reason some say 24 hours or that you can add fish immediately is possibly because they have to deal with "karens" who are there with their screaming kids, and the employees don't want to deal with a triggered karen.

I'm currently planning to do it in the spring/summer, I'm also going to buy the killifish eggs off of amazon. not sure if i want to breed them.

my goal is to hatch killifish eggs this year.

IMO embers are a perfect fit for a betta. I have 8 of them in my 10 gallon with my betta, and so far its been going quite well. the ember tetras are fast enough to evade the bettas somewhat lazy attempts to eat/chase them, and they can't actually swallow the betta pellets, so you don't have to...

petco and petsmart will probably take them, you could ask around your area to see if anyone wants them, or get another tank for them. However, if none of those options are viable, as A201 previously said, letting them get eaten by the parents and/or trying to cook and eat them yourself(i don't...

welcome! btw ich is quite easy to treat.

i did put some of my filter media from my 20 gallon in there.

currently the 2.5 gallon quarantine is running as of now, as i am quarantining a betta with velvet(its almost all gone now!!).

i want to do this so that i don't have to do daily water changes when quarantining. to keep it cycled, could i potentially put guppy/other fish fry and pest snails that i manually remove from my 10 gallon? if i do this, will i need to buy substrate, live plants, etc for it? i want it to be as...

it seems that i have posted twice.

i bought a betta a few days back. he only eats betta bio gold pellets(mine are expired lol) and didn't eat any of the xtreme krill flakes i tried feeding him. however, i have noticed he seems to have velvet(it looks like hes covered in pollen).

so i got a betta for my 10 gallon a few days ago, and put him into quarantine. However, what i have noticed is that he has velvet like symptoms(it looks as though he has pollen all over his body), and he will only eat betta pellets(he spits out the xtreme krill flakes i give him but then he eats...

ok thank you.

i saw a video that said you should do it so that the roots can grow into the substrate or something.

i got an amazon sword a few weeks back, i snipped its roots to about 1cm before putting it in the substrate, i also put a root tab under it. However, the amazon sword is STILL not rooted in, and appears to be dying. I have no idea what i am doing wrong.

cool! fun fact about assassin snails: assassin snails can hunt in packs. this usually happens when they are going after a larger snail; what they do is they all attack the larger snail at once, so it overwhelms them.

substrate would make the tank look less bare, and you could grow non-epiphyte plants in there as well. its honestly up to you. as for stocking, u could do a community with activity at all levels, a colony tank, or you could keep one rare small-medium odball fish(ie wimple piranha, some sort of...

that, and maybe the guppies you are getting are full of parasites(this is somewhat common with livebearers). if you want to keep livebearers, consider putting crushed coral in the filter, which is what i do.

totally agree with you. I'll give some of my experience. for whatever reason, i just cannot keep guppies alive for more than a few months-2 years(this was one that i had had for a while), and i figured out it was because the water in my area was very soft. even though the ph came out as 8.0, my...
