Roommate won't set up 10 gal tank and to make matters worse she just went out and got enough tetras to populate the big tank plus 4 more fancy goldfish (I'm not sure what 3 of them are but one is a Black Moor) and a school of the yellow ones that have the black on the tail that looks like Macky...

Can one of you recommend a good set up for a Betta malie? I know they require warm water, gentle current and a nice clean home. I was thinting about between 3 and 5 gallon due to the space I have. It's a side table that is about 16"Sq Are there any good quality Betta kits in that size out there?

I change between 25 to 50 percent of the water normally every week and the filter pack once a month. Lately due to injury haven't been able to. This is a fairly new problem with this tanKevin when it had a very heavy bio load. The population is now around 8 tetras, a gold mollie, a chinese...

I am wanting to set up an aquarium for a Betta. What would be the best shape/size? I know they need gentle current, warmer temperature and I have limited space that has suitable lighting, access, electric etc. I would like a "cleaner" companion - suggestions?

I'm trying to get roommate to setup at nice 10 gallon setup that the former guppies were in for the tetras and let the Comet, the Black Moor and Calico have the 55 gallon. The reason the guppy tank was taken down was it was located were it got constant ambient light and the water was always...

The tank isn't mine and my roommate wants the remaining black moor and the calico, the comet can go. As for the rest there are maybe 2 platys, a mollie, maybe 8 very small tetras and the plecto and algae eater. The tank has a large Marineland Bio filter that has 2 large wheels and slots for 2...

Started with 1 male and 3 females, big mistake ended up with about 3 dozen very pretty fancy guppies to rehome. All males just caused the 2 largest to pick on everyone else. Went to 1 large male mollie in 55 gallon community tank, he picks on everybody. Some fish like people are bullies.

Hi, I'm fairly new to aquariums, my last tank was 30ish years ago. My roommates put me in charge of this 55 gallon with Black Moors, a calico fancy goldfish, an over grown comet, a small assortment of tetras, a common plecto and a siamese algae eater. The problem is the tank keeps clouding up...

My prtank has clouded up. Have done water changes (25 - 50 percent) vacuum the gravel, changed filter media, reduced amount of food - help!
