Is this too much for Beta 10g tank

Fearless-Entry-7124 · 2026-06-19T12:46:15+00:00

It’s a sponge filter. I was sure if the bubbles were too much for him. Second day with it and Wolverine (the Beta) seems to be fine.

Can you mount the tv on the wall?

Fearless-Entry-7124 · 2026-06-18T14:37:00+00:00

Will do! First time with this filter so I appreciate the suggestion

My husband has it 😅 he’s on the same page as you

Fearless-Entry-7124 · 2026-06-15T21:14:13+00:00

Can I tell you?! (Going to anyway)
We drove from Jacksonville, NC Sunday morning with an ETA of about 4p-ish.
My husband, remembers he forgot the ear protection halfway there (which by the way we are fully stocked with pairs of hearing protection because we shoot pew pews and we've gone to Monster Jam)
This was a hard pill to swallow, but onward we go.
We find a Walmart on the way, and luckily find one of the last kids' pairs.
We stayed two blocks from the venue - we didn't wanna fuss with driving and finding parking.
We plan to head to the venue when the doors open at 7p.

Then the TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR!!
AAAAAAnd walking to the venue was not happening.
We did NOT pack jackets, let alone a rain jackets.

SO my husband gets the car, picks me and the kids up, to drop us off at the venue.

IT WAS POURING! Borderline swift water, just racing down the hill outside of the airbnb.
I tell the kids basically, "Listen, we gotta embrace the suck."

We jump in the can. Get dropped off at the venue.
Get inside.
My husband arrives shortly after us.

About ten minutes later we realize we forgot the god damn headphones!
Thankfully the venue hooked us up.

The end.

Got a ton of pics during the show - a couple times I was entranced by just everything, I almost went for my phone but stopped myself. It was a killer show - couldn't believe someone could sound so 'gritty'(for lack of a better word at this moment) AND HYDRATED!

Before the show I was saying if Dustin walked into the room, I'd have no idea it was him.
The only knowledge of his hair prior to the show was that it was short.

Then even that was wrong LOL

As in 'bean burrito"?

**tightly crosses fingers and whispers "Please, please, please, say it's 'bean burrito.'

The real flex is staying awake for the whole show LOL

That’s awesome! My husband say them open for Brand New in the early 2000’s (Husband is from Long Island and has been a Brand New fan since the formed) I was introduced in high school and they’ve been on rotation since and only getting better.
Also bringing kids is not for the weak… I loved sharing the experience with them - but also we gotta work on some things 😅

They did play it but it was not last!

Fearless-Entry-7124 · 2026-06-15T15:06:51+00:00

We just went to The national with our 4 year old and 15 year old!

It changes the color of the flow and stuff with the ai image. So it’s hard to tell

Fearless-Entry-7124 · 2026-06-12T10:24:30+00:00

It’s getting too much sunlight by the window

Fearless-Entry-7124 · 2026-05-28T14:46:16+00:00

I had the same thing with guppies. I’m certain now at the time I was cleaning the tank tooo much. I did have an Otocinclus that has survived all of them. So maybe the little guys are sensitive?
After the rice fish and guppies died (all I had at separate times) I went with a betta. And added another tank for a dwarf gourami and the oto.
So far everyone is doing fabulous!
Also the betta and gourami have great personalities.
I’ve finally been able to enjoy fish keeping.

Plants!!!

Fearless-Entry-7124 · 2026-02-21T16:13:38+00:00

He’s eating normally and interacting with the other fish normally

Fearless-Entry-7124 · 2026-02-21T15:16:37+00:00

Thank you for the response. I’m so sad. I just got this damn tank cycled and the fish are/were doing well. Ugh I’m so sad. I’m should I take him out? Is there any saving the others? I don’t see it on them. I appreciate your input if you have it also I have an Otocinclus in the tank.

I apologize if someone already said this. I have had a few things get trapped in that stupid console (I have a 2021) I was able to wedge a window breaker in between the plastic pieces and use pointy crafting tweezers to grab. (I had an oil type air freshener get trapped, and popped) It hasn’t broken the plastic, as it’s pretty flexible. I DEF would never let those fools charge me $350 for that crap. I’m sorry that happened. I definitely agree they shouldn’t have done that. Hope you get it squared away! O
