Re: Handling high tank temperatures

Does the tank get direct sunlight? That'll crank up temps fast. My cousin's tank was near a window, and it cooked his Guppies.

Re: Guppy lifespan concerns

I had the same issue until I switched to a better heater. Cheap ones can have temp swings that stress guppies. What brand are you using?

I've had the same issue. My Anubias started doing better when I moved them to a spot with less light. Maybe try that?

Re: can indian almond leaves encourage betta breeding?

They just make the water a bit darker, which can make the bettas feel more at ease when breeding.
