Ive got a female half moon in a 36 bow with 13 tetras. Shes active, and always on the move, occupying the entire tank, all levels. No bettas should be in a tank wherein all they do is hand there, depressed. Put a betta in a 20 gallon at least, and quit telling people you can store even females together. Theyre still mutually agressive, and a betta sorority tank can be done, but they take experience.
Hello!! Im late but I’m not sure if I’m cycling my axolotl tank right. I just got my tank yesterday and I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong. I’ve been looking up to see if I cycled it “to quickly” but everything that I’ve tested (I have the master test kit) has said its been cycled. At least I think? Im new to all of this I have everything but the axolotl. Some help is greatly appreciated. Extra information: - My parent recommended I used spring water for the tank. - I put axolotl food in to help with the cycle (three pellets of salmon..something? I cant remember what the guy at the store called it) - I used prime and stability - I have a sponge filter Like I said ANY help is appreciated!
I bought 10 fishes before knowing about cycling. I messed up badly... Bought another tank to do fishless cycle, and water change basically every day to keep the fish alive.
Risy red ska bluntnose minnow fine from 50 to 105 degrees(no signs of stress/behavior changes other than mating in warmer) can go lower just haven't tested to see if it affects behaviors.
I will stand by my years of fishkeeping and say that bba doesn't need to be introduced to your aquarium. I have used only tissue culture plants and new equipment and still got it. Its the same with other algae that can just appear.. Light I think is one of the major factors and overfeeding.
Mosquito fish can be kept in 100* temperatures which is below freezing. No mosquito fish can be kept in any temperature. They are regularly kept in ponds that get very hot and also freeze over.
i had something close to this, but mine was more slimand when it was floating in the tank, it looked like a tapeworm,now i don`t have driftwood, i did add java moss and two java plants a day ago then just today i did a 1/4 water change and it was floating around is that the white algae you are talking about ? oh and i had algae growing on the tank i just cleaned off
