  1. I threw my water lettuce and feeding ring out, and they are still clinging to the side of the glass. What should I do?
  2. I also have a black bug/mite problem in my tank, in the glass that is out of the water, there are tiny moving, black dots, they were on the glass, surface of water, feeding ring, and dwarf water lettuce too. How can I get rid of the bugs?
  3. Will it still be ok with those plants? My parents think its too much, but I can always buy more.
  4. Practically no hiding place. Also, this is an example of my betta acting like a cory. This is an old photo btw.
  5. My betta also can eat in the dark, as he is very greedy. XD He also goes to the bottom and acts like a cory, searching to steal cory food. Poor corydoras. I took the feeding ring and water lettuce out of the tank because there is a mite/black bug problem in my tank's surface and glass. The bad thing is.... I also feed Aurora krill flakes that sink down, so he eagerly eats those, along with frozen daphnia.
  6. So, I have a 5.5 gallon tank with 5 pygmy corydoras and one veiltail betta fish. And the corydoras cannot eat enough food, because Aurora, my betta, steals their food. I give Aurora enough betta pellets, but he still eats the sinking wafers that were meanth for the corydoras. The poor corys are slowly starving and they are not moving often. What should I do??? Help! I give one hikari sinking wafer a day, and two Xtreme Aquatic Foods Semi-Floating Betta Pellets for Aurora. Thanks!
  7. My LFS is....well, Aquarum Co-op, the forum we are in right now. Aquarium Co-op is about 20-30 minutes away and the neighborhood petco and petsmart are about 40 min. I would say Aquarium Co-op is the perfect LFS for me, because of the bettas in filtered aquariums, large variety of fish, staff are always there to give advice, and healthy fish and plants.
  8. Yes, I searched it up and google said: Corydoras catfish have a labyrinth organ that allows them to breath atmospheric oxygen. ... Although corydoras are bottom dwellers you will frequently see them come to the surface for a gulp of air.
  9. There should be a surprised emoji reaction. 😮
  10. If you live in Washington, you could always drive to Aquarium Co-op for the high-quality healthy and beautiful bettas, as for me, to drive from home to Aquarium Co-op is about 20 - 30 minutes.
  11. Aurora leaped out of the water to feed from my finger today. The corydoras are schooling like crazy, and that's all I have to say. My water in my tank is REALLY murky, can I do anything about it? Temp: 76degrees, ph: 7.4 and everything else is normal. What is going on????
  12. Is he FINE? Like won't my snail die or anything? If he is going to die I have no clue why he would go out of the water in the first place! LOL.
  13. Share some of the funniest moments you had when keeping fish! I just looked at my 5.5 gallon betta tank and my nerite snail is trying to escape. It is out of the water, and I have no idea why it is trying to escape. Should I pluck it back in the water? Once, one of my pygmy corydoras were sleeping diagonally with its head in the water and its tail on the gravel.
  14. @Zebsaid that it was a 220 gallon tank, @James Black.
  15. Here is Aurora, my veiltail, who lives in a 5.5 gallon tank with 5 pygmy corydoras and a nerite snail. He likes to flare at the moss ball.
  16. Just some funny pics. The first two are my nerite snail that pooped green poop and it is on its on shell. XD And then some pics of Aurora. He has been stealing the pygmy corydora food so he has a round belly.
  17. Here are pictures of 5 pygmy corydoras in my betta tank. Don't ask me why that is upside down. I really don't know. Don't ask me why that pic is upside down too. My phone is just being weird I guess. Finally! An upright photo! This is a corycat who apparently decided to sleep on top of the magnetic cleaner, making me not clean the glass. This is when I went to Aquarium Co-op again to get two more corydoras when I had three. Aurora, my betta, has decided to photobomb this photo.
  18. I have bought all my fish I've ever owned from Aquarium Co-op and I won't stop buying fish from there any time soon.
  19. I got two more pymgy corydoras, a windelov java fern, and a nerite snail for my betta tank. It seemed like the three corys from before were showing the new corys around the tank. XD
  20. Is cherry shrimp actually available? Like, last time I went at Aquarium Co-op (In March) there was no shrimp at all at Aquarium Co-op.
  21. I am going to go to Aquarium Co-op, which is a 30 minutes drive, and I was going to pick up some pygmy corydoras, and I want to plant it more heavily. What plants do you recommend in a 5.5 gallon tank with a betta and 6 pygmy corydoras? Currently, I have a dwarf chain sword, anubias nana, crypt tropica, and a LOT of water lettuce. Thanks!
  22. And then have 6 corydoras? Is it ok to have 7 fish in a 5 gallon?
  23. Aurora's brain is always thinking of food. He comes up to the surface like in less than a second whenever he sees a person pass by the tank. At 7, when I normally feed him, Aurora is always waiting for me, like as if he would know his feeding schedule! Today, I hovered my two finger like a cm off the surface of the water, and he jumped up and got the betta pellet. Wow, Aurora will do anything for food. XD
  24. Isn't the general rule of thumb "You can add as many inches of fish you have in gallons"? I have a 5.5 gallon, and plus a veiltail betta, who is 2.5 in, and so is it OK to add so much pygmy corydoras?
