*A*W*E*S*O*M*E* piece! Thank you! One more reason to have a partial water change is to give plants some new nutrition (assuming that some of the new water are tap water and not only RO). I was fertili...

How did he plan on getting the water from the drum into the tanks? Was he pumping it into pails and then carrying pails to the tanks? Make sure the water is aerated and heated. You wont need to heat ...
I think the fins are clamped because the fish is out of water. That can be pretty stressful and if she is indeed pregnant than I would avoid doing so in the future. She could lose her babies. As for b...

... and how do you remove it? For electrical current to flow, it needs a pathway, which in this case is the water to you because your body is at a different electrical potential than the aquarium water. ...
...nd are gasping for air, they have a disease or parasite. The best way to fix that is a series of partial water changes. Low water quality usually makes fish vulnerable to diseases and parasites; parti...

i just use gravel, im not sure wheather you can use sand in fresh water aquariums
The partial water changes will probably do the most good, although you should know that Bettas lave a lifespan of three to five years under ideal conditions. You may want to elevate the temperature sl...
BTW, I fancied for a long time to start a salt water tank, and eventually decided to skip it... Well till now anyway... :-D Quick question - the fish are amazing, but I have never found an equivalent ...

I had one just like that, until it jumped out of the water and into the garden :(
Partial water changes should be interesting in that setup.
Hi lemurnandy, Are your aquarium water clear? They look a bit whitish to me.
Are you using tap water or RO? :D

Cute fish! I have two all black ones in their own small cold water tank. As the other fish were attacking them, one was left without an eye:cry:But 2yrs on both doing great now
If you have the money and time, that would be awesome. each fish species and plants like different water conditions so a central filtration system wouldn't work.
thats sic! I could paint that, its called faux painting. fyi it is neat and i love art tanks but running water in the bedroom and or kitchen is bad feng shui. My fav. thing is the feather "chandelier"...
