I now have 5 goldfish in a big tank, a white cloud (only one because the others got eaten by my cat that took of the lid and loves to swim, I literally padlock my lids now)and 2 bettas in separate tanks and might breed them. Thanks to you I have found a wonderful hobby.

I have a 60 gal tank with a Fluval 110 hang on back filter and a large sponge filter. I have a plant in the aquarium and two pieces of plant hanging from back. Btw I did another water change yesterday and put good bacteria and of course included prime. What else should I do?

    • @zerroabear435

      Hailey Darling no the tandons from the wood is benifital for the tank and fish. The wood also gives them a place to hide. Rocks are just fine for them as well.

    • @Littlewings1211
      @Littlewings1211 5 років тому

      The only thing you need to be a bit careful of is any sharp or pointy edges that could tear their fins. As with artificial decorations you can just remove any sharp bits with a nail file and wash them off. My Betta has a little dragon skull in with him and I had to file down some of the pointier bits first, you can do the same with any natural decor too.

    • @Seddy22
      @Seddy22 8 років тому +1

      +Sergei Woen I had two fish tanks, and in one I had guppies and ghost/Amano shrimp. The guppy tank was infested with this stupid hook worm and all the guppies died before I had a chance to medicate them. The shrimp were fine, but I had to get ride of everything from the guppy tank. :C I was really worried because I had no where to put my shrimp but in the betta tank until I could figure something out. I heard that bettas like to eat them but I didn't have a choice.
      My betta definitely saw them. He followed them around curiously and very interested so I figured the shrimp would be goners by the time I came home from work. But when I came back, he had left them alone and they were actually all swimming together. It's been about a month ow and no problems. The ghosts are even carrying eggs now which is cool! He's just a very docile guy I guess. :D Good candidate for a community tank!
