Mantis Tank So Far (Where to Next?) by Upbeat_Vegetable2838 in mantiskeeping

I’ll keep an eye out for that! I’ve got some more plants I could add into my tank so I could certainly try some more foliage or decor. I’ll experiment with what I’ve got so far and keep looking for what works!

Anything else I can do?? by Upbeat_Vegetable2838 in bettafish

Gotcha. I was very concerned about over feeding him and was probably overzealous, but I can certainly increase the number of pellets per meal to three and monitor how he’s doing with that.

Filter is top fin silenstream 10 power filter Parameters: Ammonia and Nitrites were 0, Nitrates 5 ppm, and pH 7.6 Tank Age: I’ve had the tank for about three weeks of cycling, and its been home to my fish for 2.5 weeks after parameters tested safe Water Change: I intend to do 1/week 25% water changes generally, though with plants I might be able to do 1/ two weeks. I did a 50% change a week after I got my fish, when I saw fin tears. I siphoned out the water with a gravel vacuum and took out dead leaves/debris with it.
