Who Gives A Fish Forums

For a 20-gallon, full coverage is usually fine unless you've got a mix of high and low light plants. What's your plant list look like?

It depends on your plant types and tank depth. For a 40-gallon with Anubias and Java Fern, split lighting might be better to avoid burning the lower-light plants. What's your substrate like?

It's great you're thinking about this. Overfeeding can cause water quality issues. For small fish like Neon Tetras, a pinch of flakes or a few micro pellets per fish is enough. Bettas need a bit more, like 2-3 pellets twice a day. Watch their bellies, they shouldn't look bloated.

Hi guys,
My friend's thinking of adding a betta to his 20g with 5 rummy noses and 2 algae eaters - they're silver with a red nose. I'm wondering if these fish can coexist peacefully. Anyone have experience with this combo? Any advice ASAP would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
