Re: How to deal with cloudy water in Betta tanks

Mine did this when I first set it up. It's just the tank settling, probably. Give it time unless your fish seems stressed.

Totally agree. Just be careful with placement. My hammer stung my nearby acro, and it wasn't pretty.

Re: Which corals are most colorful?

Zoanthids are a solid choice. They come in neon greens, pinks, and oranges. Mine look insane under my Kessil A360X. Just watch out for palys, some can be toxic if you frag 'em.

Thanks for the help.

Re: care for baby betta fish: what's next?


Male and female bettas - given the context, I'll assume betta splendens - should be separated immediately. Housing them together can be disastrous, especially during spawning. Males tend to be quite aggressive and may harm or even kill the females. I strongly advise moving the male to a separate ...

Re: care for baby betta fish: what's next?

If your local petshops don't buy fish, that'd be a real shock to me. But, if you're having trouble finding a buyer, you could try taking some to your local aquarium society. They usually have a raffle or something where you can donate fish, plants, etc. and people can win them.

If that's not your ...

Re: care for baby betta fish: what's next?


You could try separating the males from the females and housing them in 2-litre ice cream buckets. For the females, consider using a large 100-litre plastic storage crate to grow them out until they're similar in size to the ones you'd find at a pet store. Then, get in touch with your local pet ...

care for baby betta fish: what's next?

I'm really stressing out about my female fish - she just laid way more eggs than I anticipated. The babies are growing fast, but I'm running out of space. I've tried posting on Craigslist to give some away, but so far, no takers. I'm getting desperate - what am I supposed to do with all these extra ...

Is my fish sick and needs urgent care?

I've got two fin-tank males, one in my room and the other in my office. The office one I've had for about 6 months now. He came from a family that couldn't take care of him anymore, so I took him in to give him a better life. His tank was a mess, dirty water and all, so I cleaned him up, got him a 5 ...
