Yes, Centerpiece fishES. If you have a heavily planted tank then that will be great for gouramis because I herd they kinda shy (check me on that 🤣). Agree with @clownbaby, @EricksonAquatics, @Tony s, And all the others.

I would fast for a couple of days, food makes things worse in a situation of swim bladder disease @Cellie.

I say betta, if you get a female it should not harm them to much, but 95% stocking isn't too bad, just bigger changes per week. Honeys are sick but betta is just a classic pick and one of my favorite fishes I've kept.

Sorry about this situation @Cellie. @Colu is a fish disease expert and he should chime in here. But could i see a picture? Or video. I would feed more of a variety of foods, with some freeze dried and some frozen mixed in its diet. Just pellets and nothing else ended up with my betta sick from swim bladder and a tumor. He died a while later, so you should have some time to figure this out. (not saying it will die most likely not) But like i said @Colu will help with treatment @Cellie. Hope some of this helps!

Hope it turns out great, best of luck!

Yeah its like micro sword, root tabs help, but they are not required but can maybe help. I need to try it as a floater, i am getting more soon so why not? Pearl weed is very hardy, nothing has hurt it yet. Dwarf sag is awesome too! All these plants are great choices @EricksonAquatics!

I love my pearlweed. It grows as tall as a skyscraper, allfishnobrakes told me that if you trim it low it starts grow horizontally to the left and right. That’s pretty cool. It needs root tabs and obviously like every other plants need, ferts. It’s very hardy actually too, high light is best for it.

I’ll just go back to weekly water changes and daily ammonia tests, I have a airstone air pump air tubing etc. coming today from Amazon, so that should help with oxygen becuase they were yawning and getting air from the top, and just becuase a air stone is so beneficial in tanks.

Nice! Make sure to give us some pictures of them once your home @johnnyxxl!

Nice! Can’t wait to see 2t it looks like in the end! @Schuyler, hope it turns out great! Best of luck!

Lol, but yes it literally is the only plant I have ever kept that doesn’t rot eventually, yes, bad luck. Lol. (I can’t react to any more posts today it says…..😂)

Ok, I am tired, I read the point of the topic and still didn’t understand. If it’s on high then yeah that’s as high as it will go but there might be something that your doing wrong. Same Qs as @lefty o. It’s most likely something your doing wrong tho, sponge filters, something wring air line tubing or the check valve is backwards @John Collins.

I have a 10 gallon on my wooden table and it’s fine, but I am not in there a whole lot, it’s not wierd, it’s cool to be in bed and have a blue light on on your tank and enjoy the scenery. If the light would be on the late. Sometimes I just put a chair in front of the tank and just watch the, for hours……and hours and hours 🤣 Yeah not a active room, thinking about it, that’s the perfect room for fish tanks besides a FISH ROOM lol. I have a silentstream hob, no noise at all for me.

Does it have good flow? Idk if it’s me, but idk what you mean by “is this the best it can do” when I didn’t see anything that says what it’s doing? Maybe I am reading it wrong or just super tired lol. @John Collins, could I see a vid? Please excuse me if none of this made sense but I just didn’t get the point of the topic….

Yep. They don’t necessarily need root tabs but it’s like a bonus lol, I have it, it’s a solid plant, don’t worry @Gideyon, anubias is the easiest and I mean easiest plant ever! If you through it in water in a bowl it would live lol! (I am kidding of course 😉)

Hmm, ok sounds good, I think I fed maybe 6 bug bites today maybe? So yeah thanks again for the ultra quick response.

“That will be the day” - John Wayne. 😂🤣. I am kidding, that would be great. Maybe I will lay off one today, check paremeters and do a 25% change tomorrow? I think that sounds good. I love that quote 😂

Thanks, I will use those micro pellets tomorrow. @Tony s.

About the water changes @Tony s? Any thoughts on that?

Meet Harlee! She’s just a pup, age 1 and a half, she’s the best!

The micro pellets, I mean micro too, but today I fed them some bug bites from AC. Barely any, I made sure not one spec got down to the gravel. Well, they made sure lol! They were fighting for it lol. But they aren’t skinny or anything. They got every morsel I could see. @Tony s, @johnnyxxl. Thanks So I tested the water, 0 ammonia. Should I continue water changes daily? I have a airstone/air pump/ tubing on the way and it’s coming tomorrow from Amazon, @Tony s, @johnnyxxl, thoughts?

Ok, I actually about to order it from Amazon right now, the tetra air pump, it comes with a check valve, standard tubing that has great reviews and the airstone itself @macdaddy36. The air pump.

Keep the algae down? Wow…. Thanks! I will, since pellets works best for me in smaller amounts, how many pellets would really be a tiny amount? @Tony s, learn something knew every day lol, less food = less algae in tank.

When can I feed again, I don’t want more ammonia but they haven’t been fed in 5 days but don’t worry I am not a beginner thinking that I need to feed every day but just wondering.

Yes that is true. The ammonia 0 at tap is scaring me. But it’s gotta be something in my water that was not originally there, and now it is. Got it, I use prime for conditioner btw, about to do one, thanks @macdaddy36.
