Aggresive Freshwater Aquarium Fish

Each pump should have at least one extra air valve outlet than you will be using. This outlet should be partially left open as a "bleeder" to prevent back-pressure damage to the pump. A small piece of air-line tubing on the outlet will resolve any "hissing" noise.

Do you think Im some sort of aqua-fossil for my shameless promotion of air pumps for aerati

The recommended diet includes frozen brine shrimp and frozen bloodworms.

The next rule is to not overfeed your Bettas. Carefully dose the meals, because even if the fish ate all you give him, he will produce so much more waist when overfed and the pollution level of the jar he is in will go beyond safe range, this problem is smaller if you keep your betta in a larger aquarium. Remember not to leave uneaten food in the Aquarium! Once

1) Commit! Decide you are going to spend the $$ it takes to make a proper go of it. At a minimum, most tanks, (from 10 gal to 55 gal) take between $250 and $500 to get going. Can you do it cheaper? Yes, but usually not your first one. You have to know what you are doing and understand how things can and will go wrong before you can choose less expensive husbandry options and/or equipment. Save up if you have to, but count on that first tank being expensive.

Realize that this is not a short term commit

Use a small amount (a pinch) per ten gallons at first (this is all that is necessary) and follow one of the proscribed methods above.

Time Frame: Generally 4-6 weeks. Again, a good idea to use test kits to monitor progress, and wait on the rise of nitrate, some algae growth to assure you the system is cycled.

About Testing:

How are you going to be able to "tel

The dynamic snowballs as waste accumulates, mucus accumulates, bacteria proliferate and ultimately become pathogenic; its the very thing that kills so many corals in shipping. There is also the simple matter that an increase of water flow in traditionally under-filtered aquariums often translates into prompt and improved rates of growth in captive animals. And finally, on more elemental level, effective water flow is necessary in the aquarium to prevent the accumulation of detritus, and worse - lingering matter that dissolves and concentrates ove
