I remember someone built a plywood aquarium and put casters on it didn't here from that person anymore after a couple of months. I personally wouldn't risk it.

Aren’t they supposed to form monogamous pairs
Which one specifically?

How old are the fry did you remove the fry from the parents.
I learned that fry will feed off slime coat of the parents.

Apistogramma, Electric Blue Acara, and of course Convict Cichlid from my experience were decent parents.

Once had a female that after eggs were fertilized would brutally beat the male.
She was a great parent.

Currently, she's been eating super infrequently due to the ammonia levels being high (it was at 2.0 ppm last Tuesday). So she ate a little breakfast on Friday and then two days she wasn't interested, then today she ate a tiny pinchful this morning. However, prior to this I was feeding her 2x a day (morning and evening) and just a pinchful.
Currently have the light off since someone suggested while she's recouping, low lights might be best. So just my lights from over my kitchen sink are on for about... 14 hours? When I used her overhead light I made sure they were on for 8 hours. However, I'm wondering if the tank light I have is the best. Here's the tank kit I bought end of September: https://www.petsmart.com/fish/starter-kits/top-fin-all-in-one-betta-aquarium-starter-kit---3-gallon-5321019.html?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIoaTe7ufkggMViSGtBh3cegR0EAQYASABEgLxwfD_BwE
I personally would keep feeding lightly once a day even after the cycling is fully complete. I would also do larger wc's that should help to rid the algae.

what may be causing green algae to grow.
How many times a day do you feed Betta?
How long is light kept on?

Without definite information on the aquarium inhabitants health while filter was used I suggest cleaning inside filter and soaking hoses with a half bleach water in a bucket or tote overnight. I agree with replacing the media.

I have about 10-12 tadpoles in a breeder basket. They are one week old. I’d like to move them to a grow out tank in about a week. What is the safest way of doing this? I was thinking about just lifting the breeder box into a bucket with tank water and then drip acclimate from there. After acclimated I was planning on lifting the basket out of the bucket and put it in the grow out tank. The grow out take will have lower nitrates (but same Ph) so don’t want to shock them too much. I also want to move them safely.
Congrats that's awesome.

Is seafood ok for aquarium fish, does it matter if the sea food, shrimp or prawns is cooked, uncooked.
Seafood is ok although foods like smelt contain thiamine which is not healthy for fish long term.
I personally don't feed cooked fish or shrimp to fish.
Also recommend adding vitachem to shrimp or fish.

. I would like to add one either one of the fish I mentioned above in another tank.
What size aquarium?
Are there any fish in the aquarium.
Also some specie of south american pike are prone to HITH if water is too hard.

I've been keeping fish for years early 80's but now consider myself a true fish hobbyist due to learning from another forum and the resources from the internet.

I have a pair of Doryichthys Martensii that has spawned but male has lost 4 of the developing eggs from his pouch.
Did research on a seahorse forum and found out this happens sometimes with inexperienced pairs.

If observing normal behavior no rapid breathing. I wouldn't worry btw Betta looks good to me.
