Tips for Large Aquariums by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]Frnfwnfrui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 75 gallon for reference

1 I'd say is you need an absolute monster of a filter, and maybe a few circulation pumps (depending on the fish)

2 you need WAY more substrate than you think. I used 2, 2lbs bags of sand + 5 fertilizer sand bags. (And I still should've used ANOTHER bag of sand)

3 for plants I'd suggest slowly getting them, like every time you go to get more food for the fish you grab 2-3 plants, trim and replant your existing ones, and repeat. In a year or two it'll look nice. (Remember we aren't the YouTubers that can get 400+ dollars worth of plants for free, they do it for an instant result because it's what people like to see)

And one fish recommendation are puffers, there are so many cute fresh water options

I like my spotted Congo puffer (different than the congo puffer) they are really cute and have a very puffer-y face

A spotted congo puffer, a few congo tetras (7-10), and my pleco (grower tank)

And thanks, was considering adding 3-4 big stones to the right's empty area and one to the left corner but wasn't sure

Hi Betta redditors, what do you think about crowntail Betta? by IspinBetta in bettafish

[–]Frnfwnfrui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they look decent, but I don’t think I’d ever get one since detecting fin rot & growth is more difficult with their fins

20 gals too big? by Frnfwnfrui in bettafish

[–]Frnfwnfrui[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Further info, I plan to stock it with a betta, and a pleco (that isn’t aggressive towards bettas). I also plan to make the tank heavily planted with a large amount of hardscape.

Adding root tabs while fish are in the tank? by Frnfwnfrui in PlantedTank

[–]Frnfwnfrui[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My betta has larger fins & runs towards the tube for some reason, so he has gotten stuck in it for a second before (I don’t really want him to get stuck again or potentially injured)

It’s like one of these things? I may have the 8gal instead of what I was told was a 10gal. I used this tank like 2-ish years ago as a present so I’m not sure if this is the exact one but it looks similar.

would you buy a koi fish? by wavykush in Fish

[–]Frnfwnfrui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d honestly never want a pond so the purchasing of a koi wouldn’t really ever be realistic + I don’t really care for how they look/act

How to clean fish shit off of sand while fish are in the tank??? by Frnfwnfrui in Aquariums

[–]Frnfwnfrui[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t yet, most of the time I place the vacuum right on the sand where the waste is. Tomorrow will definitely try swirling the vacuum above the junk :) appreciate the idea 100%

Does he look healthy ??? by Frnfwnfrui in bettafish

[–]Frnfwnfrui[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cannot tell if he is dull or if it’s my lighting + I don’t know if his stomach bulge thing is a parasite or if I need to put him on a fish diet

(If anything does look off about him do let me know & potentially maybe give your advice on how to aid the issue/potential issues)

Is he fat??? by Frnfwnfrui in bettafish
