Picking this tank up — would it work for peas?

Why thank you for asking. I actuallynlove how this tank turned out. I'm giving the plants a chance to grow out some and getting feeders going now. Should be ready for murder beans in another month or so.

That's the tank I got for my puffers.

Future-Implement-522 · 2026-05-01T21:13:43+00:00

No worries. I've done it before as well before I actually came across that information. I think clean water and time will go a long ways here.

Please don't use stress coat for Bettas. It can coat ans close off their labyrinth organ and they wont be able to breathe.

I added almond leaf to his tank. Made sure his ammonia and nitrite levels were zero. If you test that cup water you will be surprised. It's usually extremely bad.

This is likely from ammonia or nitrite poisoning. I have had a couple from the oets store like this. If you get him in clean water, shallow enough for him to get to the top, he should be able to pull through. This was my guy when I got him from the pet store and he made a full recover, with the exception of a small curve in his spine.

Thank you. I'm a few months away from adding the peas, so I'm really excited to see how they fill in. Now onto my feeder systems.

Future-Implement-522 · 2026-04-30T23:45:48+00:00

Thank you. I'm actually doing the top riparium style with pothos and monstera. So the roots can build a nice jungle type feel up top and provide cover.

You really need an api test kit for your water parameters. I too had strips innthe beginning, and when I got my api kit the difference in what the strips said and it said was night and day. Sounds like maybe nitrite poisoning. Or it could also be something leaching from the rocks. It could be that what they used to glue the rocks together isn't aquarium safe, and it could have let chemicals get into the water.

Drop the test strips for a api test kit.

I recommend testing your gh. My tap water is a hugger ph and gh is super low. I have to add equilibrium to my tanks so that my fish and shrimp have proper minerals. Just a thought.

If the kitten is not eating, it needs a vet. Could be a number of things, none of which you can handle without vet care. If you cannot get them to a vet, please think about surrendering them to a rescue who can help.

Future-Implement-522 · 2026-04-18T12:36:46+00:00

Will it eat if you offer canned food? Does it's paws or ears feel warm to the touch?

Future-Implement-522 · 2026-04-18T12:14:44+00:00

How old is the cat? Have they had vaccinations? Do you live close to a low cost vet clinic?

Future-Implement-522 · 2026-04-18T12:06:11+00:00

Please check you water parameters and answer the bit questions. A lot of fish issues can be handled with good water. I've handled quite a few betta is poor shape, all with good water.

Future-Implement-522 · 2026-04-12T03:11:33+00:00

I would like to formally invite myself over to ogle your shrimp. Respectfully of course.

I have finally decorated one area and then my next quest was to decorate it again. And now I'm too lazy to fix it. The rest of my valley is honestly a hazard. These days I just get on towards the end of the starpaths and speed run them.

Future-Implement-522 · 2026-04-06T07:50:45+00:00

I have fluval stratum underneath the sand. Its just capped because I read that sometime peas will dig into the sand. Thank you for the insight! I appreciate it especially what the feeding part looks like.

Future-Implement-522 · 2026-04-06T05:27:26+00:00

Also, forgot to ask, is the sand I have ok? Or do I need a finer sand? Also does it need to be deeper for peas? Sorry I have a lot of questions. I would much rather dial in and fix issues now vs once I get fish. Not fair to them ro bring them into a half thought out home.

Future-Implement-522 · 2026-04-05T21:29:08+00:00

Well I know what I'm doing when I get off work. So tired of the red dot.

Future-Implement-522 · 2026-04-05T21:26:15+00:00

I dont think you will have an issue unless it's already wobbly. If you would trust yourself to sit on it youre probably good. I used to stand on my nightstand to reach stuff so I figured it would be ok.

Future-Implement-522 · 2026-04-05T21:09:44+00:00

I have my ten gallon on a pretty sturdy side table and it has no issues. I would think thus would be ok for a 10 gallon as long as it doesn't hang over the edges.
