The ammonia is almost all gone, its been at the lowest end of the testing kit range for 2-3 weeks now. Nitrate is very high. I have no idea about my regular tap water - I use tap safe on it though, I guess I can just test the tap water instead of tank water to check? I am cautious with...

Here is a pic of the full tank. Pet store suggested I actually have room for a couple dwarf Gourami or similar but I stopped at the rummys and certainly don't plan to add more.

Thanks Re. Testing of water, just did that again today before water change as I'd been tracking ammonia drop in the still fairly new tank. Ph of water is a little high but always has been in both tanks I've had - 7.4ph but even using api 'ph down' it never seems to change. Ammonia is 0.25ppm...

Hi, Looking for help - I was doing water change today and noticed my betta has white spots on his left side behind his fins (i guess at gills), it looks almost like ulcers. I wouldn't say his behaviour has been any different to normal, and he is eating same as usual. Just about 10 days ago we...

Thanks for your help, Have it set up so its roughly 12/12 with a bit of blue light either side of the main light. That's been 4 days now and all neons are still intact. The betta still harasses them time to time but just isn't quick enough to get a nibble from what I've seen. That 40ltr tank...

Thank you for your advice. Can I ask though, I can change their own lights and use timers for a schedule, but what about the light within the room itself? I mean, even if their tank lights are out, if we have the Xmas tree lights on and the Tv on (both are at other end of the room, about 6-7m...

It does seem like the neons are too fast for the Betta, but I guess there's a good chance he'll catch them eventually. If they are being aggressive now is there a chance they'll grow out of it if it continues to be futile? Or if they are attacking now is it just in their nature and will...

Plants are all fake, plastic I think (again I was handed these by pet store, I know now that ideall they should be silk to avoid harm - I just don't know if changing them now will stress the fish). The day light, I turn it off around 8pm and then I had been leaving the blue on all night for the...

I'm new to fishkeeping, but took the time to read up loads beforehand for buying a tank and fish for my boy and taking advice from the store - advice I have come to distrust... I have 7 neon tetra and a betta. Not sure what type of betta, its blue with black/white markings on the fins. I have a...
