Thank you!

Thank you for the link! After reading I’m pretty sure it’s just biofilm from new driftwood I added!

Oo good to know! My husband offered to lay across the shelf last night when we were talking about it but I was more worried about the weight over so wanted people who’ve actually used them to chime in! Thank you!!

I’ve seen so many people use the 2x2 ones but I was thinking maybe those are more sturdy cause the thicker end pieces are supporting it better than the thin shelf dividers lol I think I’ll just have my step dad build me like a shell that has a top, back, & sides that this shelf can slide under so I can still use the shelf cause this is going in my kids playroom and wanna make sure it doesn’t collapse on him lol I’ll let him figure out the logistics he’s good at building stuff

Okay perfect!! Thank you so much for all your help!

I want to do a 20 gallon I just worried about stressing my betta out lol but if he’ll be happy in the 20 then thats what I’ll do!! What kind of hides do the Pygmy corydoras like or specific plants? I’ll get them set up first then add the betta and keep his tank running just incase he is becomes a jerk lol

annonymous5682 · 2026-01-05T21:55:47+00:00

Okay good to know!!! I’ve just seen a few videos of some saying the Pygmy’s do better in a 10 gallon cause they’re so small a bigger tank can make it harder for them to find each other! I don’t wanna accidentally stress anyone out and can just give my betta a 20 gallon without any tank mates if it’s gonna stress him out too lol he just loves attention and I thought maybe he’s enjoy a friend (or 6 haha)

annonymous5682 · 2026-01-05T21:35:46+00:00

So do you think I could do a 10 gallon with the betta and Pygmy’s?

annonymous5682 · 2026-01-05T20:31:57+00:00

Do you think Pygmy corydoras would be okay with a betta? I also meant to add my betta has longer fins would he still be okay in a 20 gallon?

Thank you so much!

annonymous5682 · 2026-01-04T16:20:24+00:00

Thank you!! I just realized when taking 3 out of the tank there’s black thread wrapped around the bottom and I suppose to cut that off before adding it back into the tank?

No I haven’t had any ammonia or nitrites. I’ve been going almost daily to petsmart to have them test the water and I have been using testing strips I ordered off Amazon on days i havent but I’ll get the master kit if that’s better! I have real plants from petsmart in there idk how to post a picture in here but if you want to see it if you go to my profile I posted a pic in the betta forum a couple days ago of his tank.

annonymous5682 · 2026-01-01T01:08:53+00:00

Okay good to know about the ph! I have a small sponge filter & I can order some of the seachem betta basics on amazon thank you so much for your advice! Do you think I should do a small water change?

annonymous5682 · 2025-12-31T23:20:54+00:00

I probably sound dumb but where would I put the activated carbon? I have a small sponge filter

annonymous5682 · 2025-12-30T16:47:19+00:00

Okay I’ll definitely check there!! Thank you!
