:D Oh daveedka (hope I got that spelling right!) THANK YOU SO MUCH! I went to Big Als Online yesterday and not only did they have the heater I needed but much more at awesome prices! I can't believe their prices! They were terrific! I also found some good looking driftwood for small...

Hi, Yes MarOxy does treat Body Fungus, that's what it says it does and I've found that on several BEtta websites it is recommended for body fungus. I brought the dead betta back to the store last night and the store said ALL their bettas either died or were infected with fungus within that 2...

i've found Opalines should only be with other Gouramis. They tend to be territorial. Something like a dwarf blue gourami would work well in a community tank.

Thank you both! :D

Thanks. The 2 stores near me didn't have Jungle Fungus Clear so I'll need to order it, which I hope isn't too late. Unfortunately, the cream-colored Betta shown above died last night. He got this fungus really bad really quick. He must have had it in the store when I bought him and I...

I can't find a small heater anywhere that will work for a 2.5 gal tank. I've found ones as low as 50 watt but those are for 5 gal and above. Anyone know where I can find one or if they are make one anywhere that will work for a 2.5 gal tank?

I'm very new to aquarium keeping and I've had clown loaches myself. I know that they do a lot better in groups as they love to pile on top of each other and swim together so it's good that you've gotten more of them. While I had mine some of their colors got lighter and some got darker. I...

Hello, I'm new to aquarium keeping and have got a few freshwater tanks going. I stumbled upon your post and I'm devastated. I'm so sorry to hear this about your tank, I looked at your reef pictures, that are so beautiful and am just really sadened. Again, I'm so sorry to hear this.

They are for sale online, but still super expensive: Check it out here: Zebra Pleco Price $159.99 plus shipping (FedEx OeverNight $26ish?) What a beautiful creature! :cool:

I read up some on Velvet, I'm not sure that's it though. The thing I found that best macthes the symptoms is: Body Fungus (Columnaris) Symptoms : White cottony patches anywhere on the body. Info : Body 'Fungus' (aka: Columnaris) is actually a bacterial problem. Treatments : Clout...

OH NO! I was just watching the cream colored betta and see that one of it's WHOLE sides is covered in a cloudy fuzz, it protrudes out from behind the gill to right above the tail! Is this some kind of fungus? Here are some pics of the cream colored one. The dark blue Betta doesn't...

Thanks so much for the help guys! Unfortunately, I went to another local fish store this weekend and was appauled. They had a 2.5 - 3 foot spotted Wobbegong Shark in a tank that was so small it could'nt move more than 2 inches from side to side, and forget about turning around. So horrible...

Betta with fuzzy white I just purchased 2 male bettas and they are in a 5 gal tank with divider, heater, filter etc. They both are eating fine, swimming fine, seem to be enjoying the larger space as opossed to the cups they were in in the store. One of them seems to have, just appeared...

Yes, I had a 10gal tank years ago and purchased a pleco (not sure what kind) from a pet store... the thing got HUGE, I'd say roughly 6 inches in a 10gal tank! No one told me they would, I know better now. The algae I have is soft, yes. I think I just liked the butterfly loaches instead of...

I'd like to get an algae eater/sucker mouth cat and have been looking at two species to choose from: Chinese Algae Eaters and Butterfly Loaches. I'd like to put it in my 20 gal tank and would like recommendations, pros and cons of each species. The tank currently holds a male betta, 2 elegans...

Cool. LFS? Local Fish Store? (noob) I just discovered, yesterday, in fact a lovely local fish store that's got excellent looking tanks and the staff seem to really know what they are talking about... FOR A CHANGE!!! :rolleyes: Stupid me, I didn't look for driftwood though. I'm going...

No, no live plants, and of course now I can't find the snail again! :rolleyes:

I've seen lots of aquariums that have driftwood pieces in them that look beautiful and natural. Every store I go into, Petco, PetSmart, Dr Foster and Smith Online, I can't seem to find any good driftwood pieces, they all look terribly fake in store. Any suggestions? My biggest tank is 20 gal...

Cool. Yeah I was thinking that the angels wouldn't get along well since they do seem to nip at each other. Thanks!

Hi, I was wondering what you think about having other fish species in the same tank as male bettas? I used to have some barbs with a large male betta and quickly learned to separate the fish. The betta seems to do fine with corys, however. I've read that Bettas can be with a lot of types of...
