My blue orchid fin_tank stompery Barnes left us on Saturday. I'd gone on vacation, trusted my dad with his care. Returned home to find he was gone.

Lived in a 10-gallon divided tank with my purple and blue crowntail Jarvis - he's doing fine, active, curious. Planning to add more live plants ...

My cherry shrimp's color popped big time when I switched from light blue to dark blue gravel. They seemed to redden up a good deal after the move to the larger tank.

Hey TFF friends,

I'm really worried about my betta Lupin - he's been dealing with fin rot for a while now (I'd say about four times in the past two years). I've been keeping his water clean, and his tank only has live plants and rocks, so I'm not sure what's causing it. My other bettas, Fawkes ...

If clean water and salt aren't working, it's possible that the issue is bacterial. I've dealt with something similar in the past, and I eventually had to use Furan-2 to clear it up. Can you tell me more about Lupin's regular tank - how large is it, and does he have any tankmates? I'm a bit concerned ...

How's Persia doing now, any improvement? If so, I'd recommend starting with a small, deshelled, blanched pea. If that goes well, try a pellet the next day.

I use peas because they're easy to find in my freezer. Daphnia and peas serve the same purpose, it's really just a matter of what you have on hand.

Hard work is where it's at. Builds character, gives you a sense of pride. I started working part-time in high school and it stuck with me. Same with my kids, they worked part-time before graduation, then college, and now they're killing it with careers, homes, and families. Too many people these ...

I'm no cichlid expert, but I've had my fair share over the years. What I can tell you is that cichlids are incredibly fascinating to keep, especially when it comes to their breeding and parenting habits - it's truly captivating to watch. The fry are relatively easy to care for, as most will ...

I'm at my wit's end with my beautiful Betta - he's going downhill fast despite my best efforts. The white swelling just won't budge.

Tank specs: 30ltr Biorb (around 8 US gallons), one betta, two tetras, plastic ornaments, and standard Biorb filtration.

Initially, Paisa had a small white patch ...

I've got the same lights on a 40 breeder. Tried 12 hours but got algae city. Dialed it back to 8 with a 1-hour ramp. Corals seem chill, but my Goniopora's kinda fussy. Maybe it's the spectrum?
