I was looking at my beta tank today and I noticed hundreds of white dots swimming around the bottom and middle of the tank. Does anyone know what these are and if I should be worried?

Just the beta fish used to have a snail in their but he died like a week ago. The weird thing is I did a full water change after so I have no idea where they came from.

He's mostly ignoring them but I've seen him eat some.

SynthOrange posted:Them turning up after a water change is pretty weird given that you dont look like you have new plants or creatures which are the major source of accidental hitchhikers, but them being free swimming dots does help narrow it down to fleas, copepods, seed shrimp, etc which are pretty harmless and just provide extra snacks for your betta. So if I cut down on how much I feed the fish they should mostly die off? My beta is still regrowing fin from when he was sick way back will the meds stress him out if I use them? It was a mystery snail, dude was as big as a golf ball.

I just upgraded from a 15 gallon tank to a 28 gallon one. All I got right now are 7 zebra danio and a pelco, you guys have any idea what I could add to this now I got 13 extra gallons to play with?

Ok but seriously I'm thinking of getting another school of neon tetra this time and a single big fish but cant find anything that would be good. You have any suggestions?

I think it would be nice to have a second school of fish but if it's a bad idea I can just get more danio instead. Do you think http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=830+882+966&pcatid=966 would be a good one to get and what type of loach or cory would you recomend?

Also how bad of an idea is it to buy fish online.

Just got done with buying some fish so now I got two blue gorami chillin with 10 danio 3 cory and a big ole pelco. I'd like to add some more cory but that feel like I would be pushing what the tank can handle. Am I right or do I have to get some more cory.

GreyPowerVan posted:Hope that tank is super super planted, watch out for those gourami. I had to get rid of one of mine because the man chased the woman down and kept picking at her until she was lying in a little cave-hideout i bought for her and just gasping because of how hosed up she was. Yeah it's got some hiding spaces. What size was your tank?

GreyPowerVan posted:I don't know about the frogs but my betta does fine in a 5g and people keep them in smaller things. I wouldn't want to keep him in less than 3g though. It' might have been a small tank, I was told that my 28 gallon was cutting it close for the space they need.

Is their any reason that https://www.amazon.com/Tetra-Crescent-Aquarium-Efficient-5-Gallon/dp/B00324X5L2?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1 would be a bad tank for a beta?

So I got a 10 gallon that I can't fill while waiting for the stand. I'm curious though what do you actually put in the 3-5 gallon tanks that are on sale everywhere?

So the 10 gallon I bought developed a crack. Not leaking yet though got the betta in a bucket while I get a new tank.

 Anyone know what the plant growing on top of the fake log is? Just showed up a couple months ago and it's growing out of control.

What do you people use to trim underwater plants? Will normal scissors work? They aren't shipped with oil on them or something?

HazCat posted:I personally would not keep a betta in anything smaller than a 10G even if you weren't worried about the shrimp. They're really active and curious fish and I don't think 5G provides enough space or enrichment for them. I got a betta in a 10 gallon and it spends most of it's time in a little fake log I bought it.
